Lava

volcanoes have a certain type of rock. Some of the more interesting rock types are 1915 Black Dacite, Basaltic Andes of Fantastic Lava Beds, Lassen Peak dacite, Banded Pumice, and Hydrothermally Altered Rock. 1915 Black Dacite is one of the newest rocks in california because it was created during the 1915 eruption. Banded Pumice was formed as a result of two different lava types mixing and drying. Hydrothermally Altered rocks were created when a rock fell into a hydrothermal vent and got…

the scenic Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa mountains to the sea. Hilo is located less than 30 miles from Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes on earth, which has been emitting lava since 1983. Lava flows have been responsible for the destruction of nearly 200 homes since then, and they continue to menace the island. Much of the lava has reached the ocean, enlarging the island of Hawaii by about 500…

Evil looms all over the dreadful underworld like a dark tunnel. The tragedy of the underworld reeked. Kara wore a chalky tank top, with sapphire ripped jeans. Burning lava seared Kara’s chestnut flip flops. Kara and her atrocious little brother Jayden, scurried to go find the only hope for New York. Aunt Barbara. Kara did not feel certain about the choices she made to rescue, Aunt Barbara. With her voice dripping in tears, she spoke, “Jayden what if Aunt Barbara doesn’t remember us? Or what will…

The dominant sandstone grain size is evidence of a fluvial depositional environment at Stop 2. The Late-Triassic age alluvial and fluvial arkose of the Deerfield Basin makes up the main strata sequence. Stop 3 reveals the Deerfield Basalt followed by lava flow in the strata column. The transition between Fall River Beds and Sugarloaf Arkose is at the Triassic and Jurassic boundary (Figure 5). The Fall River Beds at stop 4 and Sugarloaf Arkose show a sequence of grey and red lacustrine sandstone,…

Sedimentary rocks,” said PJ. “Good,” said Zoe. “Can anyone describe what an igneous rock is?” She picked up a light colored rock with dark spots all over it. “I think an igneous rock is when it’s formed through the cooling and solidification of lava or magma. Once the lava cools down, it finally hardens into rock. There’s two basic types: intrusive and extrusive,” said Caspar. “And there’s the metamorphic rock. A metamorphic rock is the result of a transformation of a pre-existing rock. The…

Astronomy is an ongoing process because we are always working on new and improved things. Right now NASA is planning a one way ticket to mars. NASA is building a ship powerful enough to take people to Mars, it will have enough supplies for 1,100 days in space. They are sending down overs to build the station and bring supplies. They will not come back on this mission but hopefully next time they will. Scientific discoveries have influenced society by even some of the earliest times. For example,…

a realization for her. Once stuck in a life of darkness and repetitive mishaps on her part, she was clear headed, new,—reborn. “This was once a mountain that stood nearly 12,000 feet tall and then had its heart removed. This was once a wasteland of lava and pumice and ash. This was once an empty bowl that took hundreds of years to fill. But hard as I tried, I couldn 't see them in my mind’s eye….There was only the stillness and silence of that water: what a mountain and wasteland and empty bowl…

Have you ever thought that men who think alike may lead to no one person thinking much at all? It’s just like Charles Darwin and Herman Melville's way of describing nature, you tend to see the way the two men think alike but through it all they give you the best and the worst of a beautiful place. Throughout the passages Charles Darwin projects his astonishment about the Galapagos Islands by describing the enigmatic plant life while, Herman Melville described the Galapagos Islands through…

Some examples of the events that were realistic was when there was lava being shown at the inner core when they reached it. I know this is true because the inner core contains lava and molten rock because it is so hot. Another part in this movie that I found realistic was when the Earth's atmosphere started breaking, we saw that people were getting burned because the sun’s…
