The volcanic eruption is one of the most common natural disasters around the world along history. The volcanic eruption is highly dangerous while costing many loss of lives and financial costs. Many volcanic eruptions seem so similar yet different; there are different levels of damages. There are two similar volcanic eruptions in history, which were both similar but different: the Mt. Pelee eruption in 1902 and Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1980. And through comparing the two eruptions, the…

Volcanoes There are many volcanoes in the world, in all shapes and sizes. Some volcanoes are created by other volcanic eruptions such as the Cinder Cone volcano. I am going to inform you about the Cinder Cone volcano, Shield volcano and the Composite volcano. Cinder Cone volcanoes are the smallest volcano in the world and are named after their shape. Cinder cone Volcanoes, also known as the Scoria Cone, is the most simplest volcano. They are less than 300 meters high, making them the…

oceans don't always change in shape? These are questions that have been asked before. When i explained the idea of how plate tectonics may have been the right answer to these questions i only stated that this could be a reason why the ocean has its shape. Plate tectonics according to google's dictionary is “a theory explaining the structure of the earth's crust…

The rocks were Bentan shale and clay. Its age is estimated to be around 90 million years old. It is suspected that the past deposition environment of the area was underwater marine of the intercontinental sea. The only event that occurred at this era was the continuation transgression of the sea level. The formation at the stop would cause a problem for any construction plan because of the swelling soil. The effects of this could be felt when we are driving across the roads as it will start to…

Twain and London both describe their experiences of earthquakes in San Francisco with two distinct purposes. While Twain writes to criticize the people's lack of common sense when facing a life endangering situation, London describes the scene of the earthquake in order to convey the magnitude of the destruction that occurred in San Francisco. Each author uniquely practiced the use of imagery, thoughtful sentence structures, and varying word choices, further developing their intended tone, and,…

Ecological succession is the process in which ecosystems develop and change over time. The habitats are constantly changing, and will never stay the same. There are two main types of succession, primary and secondary. Primary succession is one of the two types of biological and ecological succession. It is the establishment and development of an ecosystem that was lacking any inhabitants beforehand. Example would include melting glaciers, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Secondary…

the experiment. This included, a microscope, three glass microslides, alcohol, caffeine, and water, four pippets, then finally three water fleas. After our workspace was ready we took the first flea and placed the flea on a glass plate then carefully latched the plate onto the microscope. Once the third team mate located the water flea on the microscope, I placed one single drop of water from…

Teesdale is revered as one of the most beautiful and spectacular areas in England. Its peaceful, unspoilt landscape is richly endowed with natural beauty and provides an incredible feeling of solitude and tranquillity. In 1988 the whole of Upper Teesdale was included in the designation for the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It stretches across 772 square miles (2000km²) and takes in parts of County Durham, Cumbria and Northumbria. The area is well-known for its…

Question: Describe in detail the three theories that were the predecessors to plate tectonic theory. Provide evidence of how features of the surface support the current, theory of plate tectonics describing the ways the tectonic plates interact and the result of their interactions. The Continental Drift Theory The Continental Drift can help the surface support the current by plowing through ocean basins. It also did not include seafloor spreading or subduction. So, that did not cause an…

The plate tectonic theory was developed in the 1960’s and it is extremely important to have a fond understanding of as it is an explanation of the amazing scientific feats that have happened and are still happening in our world today. For example, it explains why the land we stand on is in its place, how volcanoes, tsunamis and mountains are formed and many more scientific phenomenon. This theory is that the outer shell of Earth is separated into multiple plates, which are floating on the mantle…
