Boundary activation

The archaeological chemistry of soils and sediments is an important area of smdy because of the variety of information that these materials contain. Soils from prehistoric occupations may contain information on site extent, boundaries, activities, chronology, resource availability, or past environments. Although the chemistry of soil is remarkably complex, useful data have been obtained from a number of different elements. Arrhenius in 1929 first documented a correlation between soil phosphate and human activity and used that information to determine site location and study former beach lines. 

The advances made by the use of CNTs and CNFs as supports for fuel cell applications are generally attributed to (1) the possibility of reaching high metal dispersion and high electroactive surface area values for Vulcan XC-72R the catalyst particles can sink into the microporosity, thus reducing the number of three-phase boundary active sites (2) the peculiar three-dimensional mesoporous network formed by these materials, which provides improved mass transport and (3) their excellent conducting properties, which improve electron transfer.

Students can be asked to describe what they think is happening at the plate boundaries below Iceland, Japan, New Zealand and off the Californian coast. Each group of three can present their ideas to the whole class so that all students can share their findings for the three plate boundary activities using very recent global events as examples.
