stated, “ On 23 January 1973 at around one in the morning, a volcanic eruption of the mountain Eldfell began on Heimaey. The ground on Heimaey started to quake and clefts began to form. The clefts grew to 1600 meters in length, and soon lava began to erupt. Lava sprayed into the air from fissures in the ground. Volcanic ash was blown out to sea. Later, the situation deteriorated. When the fissures…

field and was formed by three volcanic cycles. Two of these were the largest known eruptions on Earth. After each “mega-eruption” there was a period where smaller eruptions of pyroclastic materials and rhyolite lavas continued to extrude into or around the newly formed caldera (USGS,52).The Lava Creek Tuff eruption is the youngest of the three volcanic cycles that formed the Yellowstone Plateau and one of the largest. Its eruption 640,000 years ago ejected 1,000km3 of material into the…

White hot lava bubbles as the beast shakes, it awakens. Ash falls from the sky as heat crawls down the mountain. The volcano erupts. Many people don’t know much about volcanoes, only that lava comes out. There are many different types of volcanoes, but all people think of or see when the word volcano comes up is death and destruction. However, volcanoes can help living things, and they can build as well. No matter where you live, volcanoes effect you. The question is, how? Volcanoes can…

world. In 2018, the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea erupt after a series of earthquakes damaged the interior of the volcano. After only four weeks of lava flow and an area of 5.5 square miles covered there has been tens of thousands of people evacuated and more than 80 homes destroyed as well as other infrastructures. Hundreds were left stranded, cut off by lava flows with no power, working water and electricity. Para 1 Hawaii is an island located in the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the USA so it is…

Volcanoes Volcanoes are magnificent yet dangerous structures created by the forces of nature when Earth’s tectonic plates diverge and collide against each other letting the Earth vent out pent up gases, magma, rock, and ash. There are three types of volcanoes called Shield, Stratovolcanoes, and Cinder cones. Volcanoes are further labeled as active, dormant, or extinct depending on recent activity. The magma underneath the Earth’s mantle is responsible for the explosion and creation of volcanoes…

around 3.9 from now. It went dormant leaving the present state of Oahu Island. The Hanauma bay is also the result of this volcanic activity. The important feature of its geography is that a ring shape bay is form with the curvature of Lava flow. One can see the solidified lava as a ring form near the bay as small mount. This ring shape makes this bay a unique one on planet Earth. It has very shallow water and the…

eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius began to cause a catastrophic damage that we still talk about today. It happened in the town of Pompeii. An estimated 20,000 people died that day. They died the most horrible death. Very few people escaped the red lava and gassy fumes. How did this come to be on this day? Were there any warnings? What would happen if Mount Vesuvius erupted today? Where is Mount Vesuvius located? Mount Vesuvius is located on Italy’s west coast. The Volcano overlooks the bay…

thoughts. Most likely the eruption would leave enough time for people to move away from the detention area. What if they did not have a chance to flee and instead got slaughtered by lava, ash, and mudslides. There has to be another way to defend against Yellowstone. The least we can do is but barriers up to stop the lava flow from destroying parts of Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming. If a huge eruption happened again, similar to three big explosions over the last two million years, he says that the…

Mount Vesuvius – Italy Hypothesis: The impact of active volcanoes overlooking settlements pose as huge threats. With eruptions of volcanoes comes mud, ash and rocks leading to settlements being buried under the debris. Volcanoes also lead to lava flows and ash-and-gas explosions which damage and destroy many settlements/towns around the volcano. In worst case scenarios, eruptions of volcanoes lead to death of people and wildlife. Therefore we can deduct that a volcano is a geographical problem…

material and almost no lava” (Volcano Types). Cinder cones are small volcanoes and tend to only rise about 1,000 feet and their craters are small and have steep sides. Though usually classified as a major volcano, they are much smaller than most other major volcanoes and can sometimes even form along the sides of shield and composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are “symmetrical cones of large dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash,…
