Shield volcano

Bora. Some of the good things there are the little bungalows that stand in the water and the calm shallow waters by the shore. There are also many bad things about going to Bora Bora. Some of the bad things are the price for getting there and the volcanos, if they ever happen to…

Volcanoes In this documentary, it starts off with the Ring of Fire. This consist of 75% of the world's volcano which is 452. The Ring of Fire is 25,000 miles all around, mostly shaped like a horse shoe. Volcanoes can have different way of how the lava runs. Dr. shows comparing to honey and peanut butter with how the lava can run down the volcano. The lava builds us over the side of the mountain. The doctor also explains that the lava can be very thick that it hold pressure. The pressure…

Good morning/afternoon, Mr Beier and 9B, today I will be comparing and contrasting two major volcanoes, Mount Tambora, and Mount Santa Maria. Before I go into detail about the similarities and differences of the volcanoes, I will provide some background information on how volcanoes are formed and how they work. According to Anderson, 2012, Volcanoes are defined as a vent, or opening, in the Earth’s surface through which molten rock, gases, and ash erupt. The word also refers to the form or…

areas, to predict volcanoes eruptions and to alert people so they can get evacuated safely. One problem with the predictions is that the size and direction can’t be predicted. With the new technology and equipment, it's becoming easier to predict volcano eruptions correctly. In 1991 Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted causing many tribes to evacuate their homes. Researchers from the Philippines decided to study Mount Pinatubo with the help of the United States. A seismometer is placed near…

You shouldn’t play with fire, unless the fire is embedded on a Pokémon in a video game. Ho-Oh, the legendary bird Pokémon of Ecruteak City is the embodiment of various Eastern mythological creatures based on the Phoenix. The Phoenix is well-known to mythology fanatics, mainly as the bird that reincarnates new once it collapses unto itself in a binding sphere of ash and flames. Ho-Oh is part of a legendary duo with Lugia, both are rather large bird-like Pokémon. Lugia acts as the polar opposite,…

How do volcanoes affect people and our environment? Though, volcanic eruptions do spread volcanic ash which is good for plants. Those deposits are filled with minerals, but unfortunately do not become immediately available to the plants. Where the volcano is located, it can sometimes take up to about a thousand years for the ash and rocks forms a rich, good soil. But, when they do become soils, they become a very rich and one of the best soil on Earth! Volcanic deposits also improve soil in…

A study into the sexual dimorphism of head length in comparison to body length in the male and female Tenerife Lizard Gallotia galloti Introduction The Canary Islands archipelago is comprised a chain of volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean. The largest of these islands being Tenerife with an area of 2,058km2and is located 270km of the coast of northwest Africa (Thorpe and Baez, 1987). The Tenerife lizard Gallotia galloti are an endemic species to the Canary Islands (Bohórquez-Alonso et al.,…

A recent study on Mars’s geology causes a paradigm shift to researchers’ perspective of the red planet. Felsic rocks that thought to not exist on Mars are now identified. Overall, these findings alter the understanding of the geologic complexity and magmatic activity of Mars. Prior knowledge of Mars’s geology was rather simple; consisting of one type of rock formation in contrast to Earth’s diverse and complex geology. Felsic rocks such as granite, are common in subduction zones on Earth (Wray…

The Inner Core, Outer Core, Mantle, Asthenosphere, and Lithosphere, or, as more colloquially known, the five layers of the Earth. Although each layer is important, each living thing resides on the Lithosphere, which happens to rest on the Asthenosphere, the upper part of the Mantle. Forces caused by these two layers both contribute to the theory of Plate Tectonics, which happens to be interconnected to Earthquakes and Volcanoes. Without Plate Tectonics, the other two occurrences simply cannot…

Help!The floor is lava! Being a kid did you ever imagine that the floor was hot, bubbly lava? Well did you ever realize that there is a place on Earth where the floor is actually made of lava?
