One of the subfields of seismology is to study how and why earthquakes occur. Predicting and projecting when, how, and why earthquakes occur can save millions of lives, while also saving billions in public taxpayer funds to rebuild after the damage. There are several types of gravitational forces that occur within the earth and cause earthquakes, such as plate tectonics and seafloor spreading. Understanding these actions can allow us to have better understanding of the causation of earthquakes.…

The Life of the Galapagos Penguin The endangered animal I decided to do my research paper on was the Galapagos penguin. I picked this animal because Penguins are one of my favorite animals and it interested me that the Galapagos Penguin is the only penguin that lives in a warm climate. I learned many interesting facts about this penguin including the habitat where it lives, the food it eats, how many times a year that it reproduces, what is being done to save the penguin from extinction, what…

signed a Secondary Supplementary Proclamation to the residents in the Puna District of the County of Hawaii endangered by the new lava flow that started in May 2018. Ige, D.Y. (2018) as the governor of Hawaii determined, designated and proclaimed to deal with the emergencies and disasters to maintain resources, and protect public health after the expansion of the lava, many new earthquakes and losses suffered by families and persons displaced that emergency management officials needed to control…

basalt (volcanic lava rock), so be on the lookout for dark, black stone (basalt) or sparkly, shiny rocks of many different colors (granite). Because the crust is the top layer, you will not experience a lot of pressure while in it. We will not be staying in the crust overnight -- we will reach the next stop of our tour before nightfall -- but there are a variety of places you can visit on your way. See underwater volcanoes erupt at The Bottom of the Ocean; collect samples of hardened lava at…

city below it. It is classified as a complex stratovolcano because it explodes and had pyroclastic flows, which means it consists of rock pieces. It had some major eruptions for example: the “Avellino eruption” that occurred in about 1780 B.C.. Lava, ash, and rocks plummeted 22 miles into the sky. The prehistoric catastrophe completely destroyed everything. Almost every house, village, and farm within 15 miles of the Mountain was gone in the blink of an eye. However the attraction never…

He then saw the towns volcano pouring out lava close to eruption, he ran towards the lava because the baby dragon told him to. The closer Burray got to the lava the baby dragon began to tell Burray to say a phrase so he began to speak the phrase as he spoke some colorful aroma expanded and opened,Burray was the only one who could enter this portal so…

An example of a simile is: 'The street was LIKE a pool of lava due to the hot, summer weather. ' Now, let 's see how Stephen Crane uses these techniques in his writing. Examples Beginning with the title, Crane uses a metaphor to describe his feelings about war. The 'red badge of courage ' is really the wound…

Is the teaching of evolution in schools really necessary? Is it needed? If so, what does it benefit the children and teens and college students to be taught this? Honestly, I don’t think it’s necessary or needed. And personally, I think it's the dumbest, reckless, most dangerous religion out there. Why is this? Why am I calling a so-called “scientific theory” not science? Why are we being fed nothing but lies, saying that we are nothing more than animals who share a common heritage with…

crust. It pushes the rock layers but never reaches the earth's surface. Therefore, the magma cools and forms solid rock. The fourth type of mountain is the volcanic mountain, also known as the fire mountain. When magma pushes its way to the surface, lava, rock, ash and volcanic gases are formed into rock, and therefore creating a volcanic mountain. The last type of mountain is the plateau mountain. Plateau mountains are formed by erosion. They are large areas of flat land pushed above sea level.…

During the Cretaceous period, the Pacific tectonic place and the North American plate were slowly merged together and downward. This movement caused the edges of the plates to reach their melting points and they commenced to spit out pillowing lava. This specific lava solidifies under water and after numerous intrusions; the molten rock began to form giant granite figures. “Later, as overlying rocks were eroded away, the intrusive granite was revealed at the surface and eventually uplifted” (How…
