During recent studies, scientists have discovered prevailing evidence which support the idea that a major meteorite impact may not have been the sole cause of the mass extinction involving the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Researchers have discovered an array of huge volcanic eruptions in india 66 million years ago which released large amounts of gases into the atmosphere, which drastically altered the climate. This new theory does not in fact eliminate the theory of a massive meteorite…

And through comparing the two eruptions, the relationship between the damage and size of eruption will be demonstrated. There are three main types of volcanoes, stratovolcano, shield volcano, and cylinder cone volcano; both Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Pelee are stratovolcano. Although both are the same types of volcano, they have many differences from the sizes to damages. The Mt. St. Helens’ eruption in 1980 was level 5 of VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index), the level 5 eruption occur once in a…

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 shortest volcano. The Cinder Cone volcano is made from blobs and particles of congealed lava.…

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…

fish and 1,211 vascular plants; of those,twenty three vascular plants and six to fifteen of the native birds are endangered. The park covers over 333,000 acres and more land is added every day. In 1906 Lorrin Thurston began a campaign to make the Hawaiian volcanoes a public park. Thurstons efforts did not work until he started working with Dr. Thomas A. Jaggar in 1912. Together the two wrote editorials, collared politicians, and promoted the idea of making the volcanoes into a national park.…
