Guess Where I am! :)
I’M IN INDIA!!! Today I have touched down in my country! After picking up my bags from the Himalayas, I decided to take a quick stop in India, to visit my Dada and Dadhi (grandparents). I finally feel at home now, but better. I still get the authentic and soul warming curry, but I don’t get the hassle and scolding’s from my parents. Right now I’m in New Delhi, about to go eat dinner. I can smell the wonderful, mouth-watering auras of pokoras and tika curry. Somebody pinch me.
Tomorrow I head back to Seattle, since apparently my parents are “missing me.” They’re probably missing the free and forced labor and service I give them. Anyways, at least I get to play some Haloz :). Unless my parents threw it away….

California was nice. The only bad thing is that I have California Gurls by Katey Perry stuck in my head. Don’t worry I wasn’t creeping on anyone…. *Cough cough*. Anyways, I have some bad/good news. I just found out that my bags have ended up in the Himalayas. I don’t know how this happened. I mean when I got off the plane and landed in California, I must have been too preoccupied watching “stuff” that I had forgotten my bags. Sad face. Oh well, guess I’m heading off to the Himalayas to get my bags. As you can guess, before I leave I always have to do my research.
The Himalayas are formed by a Collision Boundary. The mountain range was formed by the Indian Plate colliding head-on with the Eurasian Plate, hence the name Collision Boundary. Because of the equal density in the two plates, one cannot submerge under the other. Because of this head on collision, there are many earthquakes; however there is no volcanic activity. The areas around the Himalayas have been having small earthquakes here and there. According to some sources a major earthquake is due to hit the Himalayas soon. 2011-2012 don't seem to be very fortunate years....
Moving On Now
THE CARIBBEAN WAS OFF THE TECTONIC PLATE!!! Oh my, I’m starting to talk science now (finally)! So I’ve spent the past few days just chillin – or heating up – in the Caribbean. I’ve had a great time here, but sadly it’s time to head back home. But before I land in Seattle, I’m stopping by in San Andreas, California! Due to my recent understanding in knowledge on plate tectonics, I was able to do some research on my own.
The San Andreas fault zone is a transform boundary. A divergent boundary in the Gulf of California is connecting with the Cascadia subduction zone. There are recurring earthquakes in transform zones. There is normally no volcanic activity due to the fact that there are no subducting plates or upwelling convection current.
