Mexico City is the most popular metropolitan area in the western hemisphere. Mexico City is the really warm but it get’s really cold in the winters. It’s considered to be the safest part in Mexico. Mexico City is the largest popular area in Mexico(Wikipedia). Mexico City is the southern end of the plateau of Anahuac(Wikipedia). Mexico City is located in Mexico, and Mexico is in North America(Wikipedia). Mexico City has a lot of landforms such as Mexican Plateau‎‎, rivers of Mexico City,…

There are a total of ten different landscape regions located within the Pacific Northwest. The rocks that are within each region provide the foundation for the landscape within the region. The study of the rock located in the region tells us about the geologic past and provides insight on the materials and processes from which the landscape was formed. I will briefly discuss each of the areas and provide insight on the types of rocks in which they are formed from. We will start with the Basin…

hot magma and ash can escape.The word volcano comes from the Roman name Vulcan the Roman god of fire. Volcanoes are often found meeting points of what are called tectonic plates.350 million,or one in 20 people in the world live within danger range of an active volcano.Volcanoes aren’t only found on the boundaries of tectonic plates though,they can also occur over mantle plumes super hot areas of rock inside the…

Volcanoes can destroy the land all around them. There are volcanoes all around the world, some may be dormant then may become active. There are some volcanoes that destroyed all of the living things around them, such as, Vesuvius, and Mt. St Helens. Some volcanoes are very different from the others. There could be different ways a volcano could erupt. Vesuvius and Mt. St Helens both destroyed a great amount of land around them. Furthermore, the two volcanoes caused Earth quakes. In addition,…

earliest known eruption was in 6190 BCE. The second known eruption was in 5150 BCE. These eruptions are known because of radiocarbon found in the area. The date of when this volcano was formed is not certain like most volcanos this one was formed on plate boundaries. Mount Etna is called a Stratovolcano. A Stratovolcano is made from layers of ash and lava. Another name for this volcano is a composite volcano. Etna is cone-shaped, like most composite volcanoes are. Mount Etna is made from…

their present positions. Although others brought fourth evidence, plate tectonics processes and continental drift was not of interest until the late 1950s, when scientists discovered the alignment of magnetic particles and traced them to the earth's magnetic field of that time. According to studies of paleomagnestism, once the paleomagnetic polar changes were plotted, it brought up conspiracy that all continents had shifted…

Geodetic-leveling data indicate that a large patch of the interpolate decollement (the main fault between the North American Plate and the subduction oceanic plate) off southern Oregon is locked. This and other evidence has led to proposals that an earthquake with a magnitude as large as 9 could someday devastate the…

To determine the effect of the proximity of the dam on fish distributions downstream, I will collect data at three locations along the Monongahela River, moving downstream from the dam (Site 1, Site 2, and Site 3 in Figure 1.A). I will repeat this two times on two different days of similar weather patterns for a total of $110 in anticipated costs. At each site, I will collect a variety of variables. For starters, I will collect an indication of water clarity using a secchi disk at each site for…

The map is almost uncannily similar to today's: a spray of black dots showing the recorded sightings of a foul grey haze spreading across Europe, from Helsinki to Naples, from Heligoland to Mallorca, and reaching eventually to Aleppo and Damascus – and all of it caused by clouds of ash from an immense volcano erupting far across the sea in Iceland. But this was a map made from data collected in 1783. The volcano was called Laki, it erupted for eight dismal months without cease, ruined crops,…

The Earth's crust is constantly moving in all directions. The movement of the crust is called plate tectonics. Plate tectonics hasn't been developed very long, only about fifty years. It was founded by geophysicists in the 1960's. The continents fit together in one humongous piece. Which makes it one enormous continent. Wegener found out that there were numerous continents that looked comparable. He thought once in the past that parts of Africa and South America might have been…
