Shield volcano

volcanoes. From the typical ‘red foam’ erupting volcano science project to the real deal natural disaster, almost everyone has a…

Captain Geography put on his gear his suit, shield, ring, and of course cape. From the cave, he flew out to go save the world. Not too long after he put on the suit he received a message from a citizen in Beijing, China. They said that a villain by the name of Jin Wong was trying to destroy the most important piece of history in China today. As fast as he could, Captain Geography flew to Beijing to help the citizens. When he got to the scene of the crime Jin Wong had already left without a trace…

volcanoes is the world. Sometimes we do not know when a volcano is going to erupt, but most of the times the volcano itself gives early signs of eruption. Some of those signs are small earthquakes beneath the volcano, swelling or increase heat and gases coming out of the volcano. A volcano is a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent where lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gases are being released from the earth's crust. One of the many active volcanos in the world is Mount Agung. Mount…

Assignment A volcano could shoot out magma or lie dormant for its whole life. The topic that I investigated was volcanoes. I remember watching a video about volcanoes in my middle school science class, and at that moment I wanted to become a Volcanologist. That dream was short lived because I knew nothing about volcanoes, and I was not sure how I would go to school to become a Volcanologist. Since then, I have always been curious about volcanoes and one day, I would love to see a volcano in…

waves called surface waves. These waves are considered to be the most destructive waves. Volcanoes Plate movement can also cause another natural disaster called volcano. Under certain conditions, when plates are pushed or pulled together, volcanoes are created thus, both earthquakes and volcanoes tend to occur in the same place. A volcano is a cone-shaped hill formed by materials from the mantle being forced through an opening in the Earth's…

There are over 1500 volcanoes in the world and over 1,500 potentially active volcanoes in the world. In 2018, the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea erupt after a series of earthquakes damaged the interior of the volcano. After only four weeks of lava flow and an area of 5.5 square miles covered there has been tens of thousands of people evacuated and more than 80 homes destroyed as well as other infrastructures. Hundreds were left stranded, cut off by lava flows with no power, working water and…

New crust is generated as plates pull away from each other and can either cause sea floor spreading or new land to be created. An example of a continental rift valley is the Eastern African Rift Valley which is being formed as the Eastern African plate is moving away from the main Africa plate in a north-easterly direction. Plates move apart due to convection currents in the lithosphere. As the crusts move away from each other the crust thins, tension in the lithosphere causes the plate to…

are magnificent yet dangerous structures created by the forces of nature when Earth’s tectonic plates diverge and collide against each other letting the Earth vent out pent up gases, magma, rock, and ash. There are three types of volcanoes called Shield, Stratovolcanoes, and Cinder cones. Volcanoes are further labeled as active, dormant, or extinct depending on recent activity. The magma underneath the Earth’s mantle is responsible for the explosion and creation of volcanoes around the world.…

A volcano is a special type of mountain. The mountain opens at the top. Beneath it is a pool of melted rock, or magma, below the surface of the Earth. When certain kinds of changes happen, volcanoes can erupt. This means that the gases and melted rock below shoot up through the opening and spill over as lava. Eruptions can lead to lava flows, falling ash, mudslides, and much more. How do volcanoes form? Volcanoes form when magma deep within the Earth makes its way to the surface. When the…
