A VOLCANO TRAGEDY January 15 , 2004 was the tragic day that a volcano had erupted. It all happened so fast like in a blink of an eye everything was so dark and magma was gushing out like a gusher candy. We realized that we where in the ring of fire , after the tragedy had passed. Before all that happened me and my family decided to head for safety in a gym where thousands of people were panicking trying to find out…

I bet while your reading these words, at least 20 volcanoes are erupting. That’s crazy! So how do volcanoes affect the environment? Well there are many ways actually, one way is that they create super rich soils after the molten lava rocks get weathered into a soil. Another way is how much they erupt, with this much erupting, they could create more mountains or volcanoes that take up space and destroy some of our places. Roughly, each year through the 90’s 60 Volcanoes erupt and there was about…

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…

What do you think of when you hear the word “volcano”, a prodigious eruption? The city of Pompeii (which was destroyed by lava)? The amount of volcanoes and their eruption frequencies? Well, these are the most common responses, but do you ever think of the gratifying consequences of a volcanic eruption? Well, it is true, volcanoes are commendable! The mineral and nutrients found in the rocks and ashes of the aftermath a volcano helps enrich the soil. While I’m on that topic, the article states…

andesitic and dacitic lava flows, which form an extensive apron around the volcano on all sides but the south. Records of historical eruptions date back to 1750” (Global Volcanism Program). It cannot be said for certain when the volcano’s early activity started simply due to the lack of record-keeping prior to the eighteenth century, as well as the general lack of technology that could have been used to measure volcanic activity in earlier history. During the recorded 1988 activity, “Lavas…

it unstable. An explosive eruption will cause rocks and ash to fall from the sky. An eruption can be caused from the cone of the volcano to fall in on itself making the lava come out of the volcano in a river like a stream. An earthquake can cause a volcano to erupt from the tectonic plates rising up and pushing out the lava.…

Mount Vesuvius is known as one of the most famous volcanos on the planet. It is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and does not lie on the ring of fire, which is somewhat rare. Mount Vesuvius in located on the continent of Europe and in the country of Italy. Its geographical coordinates are North 40 degrees and East 14 degrees. The tectonic plates below Mount Vesuvius are the Eurasian and African Plates. The plates that have interacted to form this volcano are convergent. It is still an active…

The Lava Beds National Monument, I believe would be a great place for students to learn about nature. Located on the border of California and Oregon, the lonely road leads to something amazing. To something some may consider as California's "best kept secret." The Lava Beds National Monument, is one of the most visited national monuments in America. It attracts only one hundred thirty thousand visitors each year but the "secret" underground caves and volcanic rock of the park is full of…

erupted in the Lineament and the Rio Grande Rift are composed of Basalt which mean the eruption will not be as explosive. Basalt is a magic magma which high Viscosity, and less gases content therefore it will not have not have an big explosion. The lava will slowly come out which gives people more time to react and move to a safer…

From being underwater to on land, volcanoes are all around. How do volcanoes affect people and the environment? Volcanoes spread ash, rock, and lava for miles once they erupt. The soil that becomes after volcanic explosions are often the richest soils on Earth. The land from what you can see around a volcano is a wonderful sight people say. There are many known volcanoes that erupt all the time and spread stuff everywhere. “We do not really have an accurate count of the world’s volcanoes, but…
