A visual overview of plate tectonics

We saw in these days The rugged terrain and theory of plate tectonics , with the limitations of the book's illustrations, so we will use this small space to include some links to animations and presentations that will allow us to understand better the effects of plate movements and how it affects the topography of the Earth.

As we discussed the origin of theory were Wegener studies on drift continenta the early twentieth century, showing the movement of continents, but until mid-twentieth century were not answered all the unknowns, explaining the effects of the division of lithosphere large plates that move over the surface layer of mantle.

Some animations that show examples of how to act plates and their effects on the formation of relief by clicking on the links (they are in English but the pictures are very clear):

divergent Borders forming an oceanic ridge : the plates are separated and creating new ocean crust under the edges

converged creating a coastal mountain range: a fascia ocean sinks (destroying bark) under the other plate and stand (appearing a mountain range and associated with volcanic areas)

You can see other animations on the following website:

Tut's tomb : a unique opportunity 30s

Playing the solid gold funerary mask of King Tut (1336-1327 BC)

this summer (it will be until October) , I have enjoyed in Madrid in one of the most interesting exhibitions I've ever seen: the recreation of the most famous pharaoh's tomb (not the most important) of history, Tutankhamun , as found by the Egyptologist Howard Carter in 1922, when he said see wonderful things.

The patron Lord Carnarvon excavation could not wait, we ate at the anxiety and nervous Carter had asked about what could sense, through ; the wall, in the light of a candle, in the newly found tomb KV62 in the Valley of the Kings . I never seen it, one of the key moments of archeology: the first and only pharaonic tomb found without being sacked, as was left more than 3300 years ago by the ancient Egyptians.

objects stacked on the sides, messy, but intact, even with organic waste from the food left for the dead pharaoh could eat in the afterlife, a collection of invaluable, many gold-coated parts (some gold as one of the sarcophagi or funerary mask of the first picture), ivory, lapis lazuli, rubies and gems of all kinds, precious woods such as ebony or cedar brought from Lebanon, etc.

The statements in the House are re-creations, as originals are in the Egyptian Museum Cairo, but better! because they are faithful reproductions of all the pieces found, made by craftsmen using techniques and materials similar (obviously not with gold or gemstones, but gives the hit perfectly) and therefore no wear and tear on materials, inevitable for so long, despite the closed atmosphere of the tomb.

Small statues of the pharaoh in various activities (fishing, topped ...) and gods

But the visit to the tomb of the living image of Amun (meaning the name of Tutankhamun) is not just a collection of objects, is a careful walk through the history of Egypt's New Kingdom and XVIII dynasty. Starting with a geographic context and hitórico to continue with a sculpture gallery, adorned with visual, concise and informative panels all helped by a clear audio guide.

Posteriormente se visita la recreación en sí de la tumba, en una atmósfera que ayuda a aumentar el misterio, se recorren las pequeñas estancias que conformaban esta modesta tumba, realizada apresuradamente para un faraón joven (sólo 19 años) que murió prematuramente. ¡Imaginad cómo pudo ser la tumba de Ramses II que reinó más de 60 años...!

Finally on the top floor presents all the parts: coffin, coffins covered with gold (there were up to 3 within each other), statues of the pharaoh and gods, cars for hunting or warfare, furniture (especially nice for its decor and technical expertise) and everyday objects of all kinds, with its accompanying explanation of its features and function.

is an opportunity not to be missed if you want to know a bit of history and more specifically, the Egypt of the Pharaohs at the height of their civilization. Also let you take pictures without flash (all item pictures I made with the phone and know it), so you can come in handy for jobs that you can send.

Madrid: Land of Welcome (Show Miguel Hernández)

Comparison of the Gran Vía 30's and current ( obtained 2.bp.blogspot.com)

Madrid of the 30's was the center not only political but cultural in Spain, especially in the literary aspect. The capital had become a cosmopolitan city, a symbol of modernity to which he aspired, and its main mirror was the construction of the Great Way, which had been rising since 1910 and conceived as an avenue to Broadway style, with cinemas, theaters, shops, offices, bars and cafes .

In the cultural environment of the Madrid highlighted some key points: from antiquity the University had been a center of culture and republicanism, the Fine Arts focused artistic innovations, literary gatherings also coffee and magazines agglutinated news from this area.

But especially significant was the Student Residence linked to the institution Free of Education, which studied major intellectual figures such as when they met Lorca, Dalí and Buñuel. There were held gatherings, concerts, plays ... with distinguished guests such as Ortega y Gasset and Juan Ramón Jiménez and members of the generation of 27 Rafael Alberti, Jorge Guillén, Gerardo Diego ...

Madrid during this period was the place where you could meet established authors, participate in literary circles of the first order, getting contacts for publishing and become known in the world of literature, in one word: success

With that goal Miguel Hernández traveled to Madrid in late 1931, but their stay will be difficult to not get a job, from hardship and also fails in the goal of establishing cultural encounters in the capital, so disappointed to return in mid-1932 Orihuela.

However

will try again with his second and final trip to Madrid in 1934, having already published in Murcia and receiving additional support. This time come in contact with the literary environment of the moment, by Alberti, Lorca, Zambrano ... but with whom he establishes a closer relationship will be with Vicente Aleixandre, and especially with Pablo Neruda shared their political and social ideas.

Thanks to their contacts, get a job in the work about bullfighting bulls of J.M ª Cossio and finally get published in Madrid in various literary magazines such as Cruz y Raya led by Jose Bergamin (arising from the Lion coffee gathering) and also collaborates with his friend Pablo Neruda in his magazine Green Horse for poetry.

Finally, thanks to the publication of his first book The ray that does not stop in 1936 reached recognition he craved, in the interest of Ortega in the prestigious Revista de Occidente and Juan Ramón Jiménez in his criticism of the newspaper El Sol .
