Volcanoes aren’t that bad, sure if you are near one and they happen to EXPLODE your dead, but for Mother Nature and our Earth volcanoes are extravagant creators of soil. Volcanoes are above ground and under water, both can drastically affect our Earth, living things, and soon to be living things. How do volcanoes affect people and environments? There are lots of volcanoes all over the earth some active, some not active, and some that will soon be active. We are not exactly sure how many active…

4.2.5. The Fantale geothermal prospect area The Fantale geothermal prospect is characterized by recent summit felsic lava, caldera collapse, extrusions in the caldera bottom and widespread fumarolic activity, signifying thereby the existence of a shallow magma chamber (Tekelemariam and Beyene, 2005). Active tensional tectonics form fissures up to 2m near the volcanic complex. From the area ground water discharge to the system is guaranteed by the proximity of the area to the western escarpment.…

2.2.3 Definition of Chelating Ligand EDTA From the above discussion, it can be concluded that chelating ligand EDTA is a process of reversible bond formation of a ligand that serves as chelating ( chelting agent or Chelator) that exist within the compound of EDTA. Basically, EDTA combines with some specific ion, so it causes the functions of EDTA as chelator. When the functions of EDTA as chelator, EDTA is a liquid ( solution) 2.3 Volcanic Ash Volcanic ash or sand is volcanic material debris…

In 79 CE, August, Mount Vesuvius had a significant eruption, that went on for nineteen hours, burying an ancient Roman city for seventeen centuries. This city was near the modern Naples within the Italian Region of Campania. The buildings and many of the people were buried and lost until the discovery made in 1738. This city is known as the lost city of Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano that consists alternate layers of ash and lava. Stratovolcanos have two types of eruption, one…

Sciencia is a world analogous to Eath. Based on the present day plate boundaries and similarities on multiple continents, It’s believed that the continents of Sciencia were once together as a supercontinent called Edisonia. The supercontinent held 6 of the 8 modern continents, which broke apart due to tectonic forces in the Lithosphere. Also, the 7th and 8th continents were believed to have formed from volcanic eruptions on convergent plate boundaries. The edges on the modern- day Sciencian…

Sharpe 1 Grace Sharpe Professor Fara Lindsay Earthquakes and Volcanoes Homework 1 June 15th, 2016 Sabancaya The volcano I choose to write about is none other than the Sabancaya volcano. It is located in the Andes mountains in Peru. This particular volcano is a stratovolcano part of a collection of three glacially covered volcanoes. The elevation of the Sabancaya volcano is 5967 meters high and it is the smallest of the three, however, it happens to be the most active. Volcanic ash and…

Onyx: The Practical and Metaphysical Story Onyx is a specific variety of the mineral known as chalcedony. It is a banded mineral, which means that the layering of the rock that formed it has caused “bands” of different colors to appear. Many people mistake onyx for a type of agate, which is another type of chalcedony, but where agate has curved bands onyx has parallel bands instead. Onyx is found in nearly every color, though bands of black and white are the most common. When onyx is banded…

Dynamic Planet is an amazing branch of science. From oceanography, to currents, to plate tectonics, all of the subtleties of the dynamic planet are unique in their own ways. Our Earth, itself, is a dynamic planet. The planet contains over one thousand volcanoes, forty thousand earthquakes, and almost two hundred impact craters. All of these features come from the Earth constantly being in motion. The Earth has powerful forces that are caused by nature. Most of which can’t be seen but felt…

There are many different aspects in the world of geology. Something that I want to focus on are hydrothermal vents. Hydrothermal vents are like chimney shaped hot springs that are located on the ocean floor. Hydrothermal vents were first discovered in 1977 near the Galapagos Islands in the eastern Pacific. Scientists exploring the area along the mid-oceanic ridge had noticed drastic temperature changes in their data. With the help of ALVIN, a research deep sea submersible, they discovered vents…

Hanauma Bay in Hawaii Island The Hawaii Island in one of the worlds beautiful Biosphere reserves. It is an international destination too for its unique bio diversity. No such island is there in the planet Earth. This is also one of the remote Islands in the Pacific Ocean on the northern Hemisphere. The Hanauma bay is also one of such important tourist attraction in the Hawaiian Island. There are many number of tourist packages available in the web. It is advisable to buy through online for…
