Peak eruption of 1915.This essay will talk about History, Climate, Geology, Location, and Miscellaneous. HISTORY Lassen Volcanic was founded in 1915. The last Lassen eruption was in 1915 and from 1916 to 1921 only ash and steam came out of the volcano. May 22, 2015 is the centennial of the Lassen peak eruption.

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…

The Liberty Hill pluton of South Carolina is one of twenty-four known granitoid bodies along the southern Appalachian Piedmont which possess the properties of a supergroup as described by Pitcher. The country rocks surrounding the plutons are at least mid-Paleozoic in age. Liberty Hill lies within country rocks of the Carolina Slate belt which consists of “primarily intermediate to felsic pyroclastic debris and hypabyssal intrusive bodies.” (Speer et al. 1980). The isotopic ages of…

million years old. Mount Rainier is also Washington’s tallest peak, and it has the 17th highest summit in the United States, its summit is about 14,410 feet; Mount Rainier National Park itself was founded in 1885. Mount Rainier is actually an active volcano, but the snow covers up the lava underpinnings. Mount Rainier also use to have life on it, it had many different animal species, bears and mountain lions, and indian tribes living very nearby. Mount Rainier is always covered in snow, the snow…

An earthquake is the phenomenon that a huge energy suddenly released and appeared in the Earth’s crust when two moved plates slip past one another. The earthquakes usually happen in the convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries and transform boundaries. In the three kinds of boundaries, the convergent boundary often produces the largest magnitude earthquakes. Because when the two plates collide strongly in the convergent boundary, the extreme pressure and the great friction will appear. So the…

The purpose of this lab is to grow crystals on an egg to make a geode using alum powder. The independent variable is the eggshell used. The dependent variable is the amount of alum powder used. The alum powder will be used to make the crystals, while the eggshell will be used to represent the sedimentary rock. The goal is to see if different amounts of alum powder will affect the amount of crystals that grow. In this experiment, the groups’ hypothesis is the more alum powder in the solution, the…
