Magma

The creation and eruption of Mount Tambora can be contributed to the interaction between the Indo-Australian and Eurasian plate. The plate with higher density subducts under the plate with lower density. As the plate goes under, it melts and forms a magma plume and composite cone volcano. The eruption of Mount Tambora sent molten rock more than 40 kilometres high and blew out a cloud of ash that covered a million square kilometres. Mixed in with the 30 cubic kilometres of rock was 50 million…

Now centuries later, that madness; that single act of…

The entire ecological niche is filled with sea lions lazing on branches and turtles resting on the bottom and mangrove finches flying amongst the leaves. All seems normal with the mangroves of the Galapagos until the tectonic uplift, in response to magma moving underneath the surface, comes into play causing mangroves to dry up and die. The tectonic uplift shows how the Galapagos are so diverse that volcanic ? causes mangrove forests, which would usually not be near volcanoes, to…

The colossal blast released radiation into the atmosphere which ended up spreading and killing many organisms. This spontaneous accident was recorded all over the world and alarmed many European nations.…

Spend some time observing any ocean ecosystem and you will see that it can look like a very dreary place. A place full of hunting, killing, manipulation, fearfulness and harsh living environments. Nevertheless, the species involved in these interconnected ecosystems of the oceans have found ways to survive in these environments by each fulfilling a specific niche. The niche of some of these species is oftentimes accompanied by another organism, however, these relationships are termed as a…

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live off the grid? Well, if you haven’t, it is the right time to start planning to get off the grid.

In fact, sustainable and free power solutions are the future because they are relevant regardless of where you live in the world. If you live in a remote area or you would like to generate…

tectonics is seafloor spreading. Sea floor spreading is a process that happens in the middle of the ocean on ridges. New ocean crust is made by volcanoes and then slowly move away from the ridge. When the ocean plates move away from one another, new magma rises to the top and cools. There are also a great number of fossils found on different continents and and nowhere else this suggests that the continents were once formed together. The remains of Mesosaurus freshwater crocodile is a prime…
