Dutch ovens are cylindrical, heavy gauge cooking pots with tight fitting lids that can be used either on a range top or in the oven. The heavy metal or ceramic construction provides constant, even, and multi-directional radiant heat to the food being cooked inside.lmost any cooking task can be performed in a Dutch oven. Soups/Stews â Dutch ovens are perfect for soups and stews because of their size, shape, and thick construction. The heavy metal or ceramic conducts heat well and can keep food warm for long periods of time.
Some features, such as earthquakes and volca-noes, are more common at tectonic plate boundaries than at other places on Earth. Other features, such as mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches, form only at plate boundaries.
The lines where they meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundary: divergent, convergent and transform. Plates move away from one another at divergent boundaries. This happens at mid-ocean ridges.Plates move towards one another at convergent boundaries; one plate is forced below another in a process called subduction.Earthquakes and composite volcanoes are common at this type of boundary. Plates move past on another at transform boundaries.The most famous example of this type of boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
