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…

my paper I will be giving information on how often do volcanoes erupt. First,I will explain how magma can trigger volcanic eruption. Next, I will discuss how buoyancy can also trigger a volcanic eruption. Finally, I will predict how pressure from gases in the magma and magma chamber can cause a volcanic eruption,and give some more details about my volcano. It depends on the volcano to erupt oftenly. Some volcanoes erupt very often (and some like Kilauea almost never stop). On the other hand,…

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,…

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 different rock types. Some of the major rocks found on this volcano include, trachyandbasalt/tephrite…

On August 24th in 79 AD at approximately 1300 a cloud appeared over the Roman city of Pompeii. This was all the warning the residents had before the nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted. Huge quantities of scalding hot ash, pumice and lava pebbles were thrown into the sky. This then cascaded down across an extensive area. Most of the 20,000 residents fled for their lives but approximately 2,000 people stayed behind and hoped to wait out the disaster in their homes. Those who stayed…

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,…

So my volcano caused the deaths of 2,000 lives of men and women. The name of my volcano is Mount Vesuvius and back in august 79 AD it caused the city of Pompeii to be destroyed. Volcanos can go off at anytime and anywhere. Earlier before the volcano erupted it was a hot sunny day and the sun was beating down on all the citizens of Pompeii and made them all move to the middle where the water fountain was. As most people went to the middle the volcano started to erupt and put a cloud of ash that…

The basaltic and andesitic volcanic lavas and pyroclastic rocks are deposited in the sedimentary basin in which magmas are enriched in iron and to some extent manganese. Due to mafic magmatism and subsequent heat exchange, high-temperature hydrothermal fluids pass through the volcano-sedimentary…

Definition Lahars also called mudflows contain fusion of water and consolidated particles of gravel, ice, wood, and other fragments that flow from volcanoes are distinct, prompt, and gravity-induced outflows of drenched, high-consolidation mixtures.(Vallance, 2000) Types Primary lahars These are generated amidst outbursts by numerous eruption-related activities. Such lahars wiped out almost 37,451 people all over the world between AD 1600 and 2010. The Nevado del Ruiz disaster in 1985 caused…

The search for the legendary lost island known as Atlantis has been grabbing the attention of explorers, historians and philosophers for over 2,000 years. People to this day still argue about its location. Plato, the Greek philosopher, wrote about this ancient civilization in two of his dialogues. Although some argue that this place is fictional, there are scientific and geographical explanations as to why the city would have sunken. Also, there have been relics that were found that suggest they…
