Lava

The lava hound is a demon of the apocalypse. Its first records date back to 400 b.c. In the region where today is Greece. This monster was created by Hades in order to fear the population and to show that the Gods of the Olympus would not save them if it were furious. It was a flying creature with the body formed by lava, rocks and bad things. It was very unstable and furious, when it was destroyed generated seven new monsters. There was a time when the fame of Olympus was so great that the…

All volcanoes are magnificent features of Earth’s crust. One type of volcano is a cinder cone. “A cinder cone volcano doesn’t have any horizontal layers of solid lava flows mixed with layers of other rock,”stated on zmescience.com. Cinder cone volcanoes are sloped like a mountain, although they have a large number of very liquid lava flows. When people think of a volcano most of most of the time they think of a cinder cone volcano because of it’s tall and sloped cone shaped. “One kind of…

volcanoes. According composite volcano is built up of layers of ash.A stratovolcano has a steep hill at its upper ends because the lava cools and hardens quickly, leaving many layers building up overtime, creating a taller, steep hill. Stratovolcanoes are usually steep, symmetrical cones of a large space built of many layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinder blocks, and lava bombs and it can rise as much as 8,000 feet above the volcano's base. Why is Mount Saint Helens the most dangerous…

Mount St. Helen’s to the North. Characterized by four distinct volcanic behaviors, Mount Hood experiences lava flows traveling short distances in most cases less than six to eight miles from the source. These flows build up flanks one sector of the volcano at a time. At times the lava doesn’t flow but instead builds domes that can reach hundreds of feet in height. Repeatedly collapsing lava domes are responsible for…

volcanoes formed in what known as the Ring of Fire. The first volcano being investigated is Augustine which is better known as a stratovolcano; they are unique because they are shaped the type found all around the Ring of Fire. Over the years solidified lava flows gradually built up around the…

Mt.Kilauea is a volcano that makes up the southeastern side of the island Hawaii. Mt Kilauea has had more than 60 eruptions and has been erupting continuously since Jan. 3, 1983.Kilauea is thought to have killed around 80 people when it erupted without warning in the late 1780s.Most recently 2,000 people to evacuate thier homes.The volcano’s elevation is 4,091.Mt.Kilauea is a shield volcano which are the largest volcanos in the world.Kilauea is one of five volcanoes that make up Hawaii. The…

countries where eruptions have occurred such as the United States, Turkey, Scotland, Peru, New Zealand, Mexico, Kenya, Japan, Italy, Iceland, Guatemala, El Salvador, Greece, Georgia, Chile, Canada, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and Argentina. Obsidian is volcanic lava that has cooled and is often referred to as volcanic glass. The name obsidian originated from a Roman named Obsius, a man who discovered a gemstone very similar in nature to obsidian. Its black, glassy, shiny and very often flow banded…

Seismologist with the United States Geological Survey are usually the first to arrive in volcanic areas, to predict volcanoes eruptions and to alert people so they can get evacuated safely. One problem with the predictions is that the size and direction can’t be predicted. With the new technology and equipment, it's becoming easier to predict volcano eruptions correctly. In 1991 Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted causing many tribes to evacuate their homes. Researchers from the…

Lesson 1: Earthquakes and Volcanoes Layers of the Earth Earth is made up of three layers: crust, mantle and core. The outer layer is the crust, the middle layer is the mantle and the inner layer is the core. Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into large plates that move slowly. Figure 1 shows the layers of the Earth. Figure 1: Layers of the Earth Plate tectonics The Earth's surface is formed of large pieces of rock called plates that are also called tectonic plates. These plates…

2.2.3 Definition of Chelating Ligand EDTA From the above discussion, it can be concluded that chelating ligand EDTA is a process of reversible bond formation of a ligand that serves as chelating ( chelting agent or Chelator) that exist within the compound of EDTA. Basically, EDTA combines with some specific ion, so it causes the functions of EDTA as chelator. When the functions of EDTA as chelator, EDTA is a liquid ( solution) 2.3 Volcanic Ash Volcanic ash or sand is volcanic material debris…
