Mount Everest

In this film, the eruption of the once dormant Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E. is discussed. It is a volcano that is right between two tectonic plates, so when an earthquake shook it, it finally exploded. The eruption was one that was 1000 times more powerful than the bomb we dropped on Hiroshima. The town of Pompeii was located just below the volcano, and did not stand a chance against its wrath. At the end of Vesuvius’s eruption, Pompeii was covered in sixteen feet of ash. About sixteen centuries…

versus Mount Fujiyama Ever since I was a little girl I have always been fascinated with volcanoes. How do they work? How hot is the lava exactly? Can you travel down into the funnel of a volcano, and if so how and will you survive? And do all volcanoes function the same way? As a child, we never understood that the beautiful hot magma that flows from the volcano is dangerous and burns everything in its path. Two volcanoes that have always caught my eye is Hawaii’s Kilauea and Japan’s Mount…

Christian Fathers The word father carries the idea of a nourisher, a protector and an upholder. Perhaps we will never know the depth of our father’s love or the extent of the sacrifices that he makes for his children. So much of his time is spent providing food, clothing, and shelter that there is hardly enough time left for his children; however, fathers love deeply. Commonly, a mother’s love is more visible; yet, fathers love their children unreservedly. In the event of serious mistakes…

the earth's crust. One of the many active volcanos in the world is Mount Agung. Mount Agung to this day is still one of the many active volcanos in the world. Mount Agung is located in Bali, Indonesia. It is located southeast of Mount Batur. Mount Agung is a stratovolcano, located in a subduction zone and it is the highest point of Bali. Mount Agung controls most of the climate in Bali. Clouds coming in are taken over by Mount Agung, it takes its water and leaves the rest of…

my paper I will be giving information on how often do volcanoes erupt. First,I will explain how magma can trigger volcanic eruption. Next, I will discuss how buoyancy can also trigger a volcanic eruption. Finally, I will predict how pressure from gases in the magma and magma chamber can cause a volcanic eruption,and give some more details about my volcano. It depends on the volcano to erupt oftenly. Some volcanoes erupt very often (and some like Kilauea almost never stop). On the other hand,…

report is about Mount Etna. Mount Etna is a volcano found in Italy. “Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe and one of the world's most frequently erupting volcanoes.” (Mount Etna: Facts) Mount Etna’s earliest known eruption was in 6190 BCE. The second known eruption was in 5150 BCE. These eruptions are known because of radiocarbon found in the area. The date of when this volcano was formed is not certain like most volcanos this one was formed on plate boundaries. Mount Etna is…

reason being the display seems really normal and there seem to be a lot of open space. Pompeii was an ancient city in southern Italy. The remains of the settlement are located near to Naples. The city of Pompeii was built at the foot of the volcano, Mount Vesuvius. If I had to choose which website site was most dramatic I would have to say Pompeii Google Project…

Columbia River Gorge to Multnomah Falls to Crater Lake, Oregon has attracted tourists and residents alike to soak in a little sun (or snow) and play in a few small pieces of our great big world. Another attraction known to Oregon is Mount Hood. Located in northern Oregon, Mount Hood takes claim to being the highest in the state and about 10,000 people attempt to summit it each year making it the second most climbed in the world (Dalton, 2015). The people attracted to this beautiful mountain not…

On the west side of Italy, a six foot chamber of magma is building under Mt. Vesuvius. Mt. Vesuvius is a volcano that is still active to this day but, in 79 A.D. the volcano erupted wiping away the city of Pompeii and killing almost everyone in the city. The eruption killed over 16,000 people and it wiped away all the belongings of the people who did make it out alive. The eruption was a total surprise. No warning was given because the volcano eruption was completely unpredictable. Mt.…

On August 24th in 79 AD at approximately 1300 a cloud appeared over the Roman city of Pompeii. This was all the warning the residents had before the nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted. Huge quantities of scalding hot ash, pumice and lava pebbles were thrown into the sky. This then cascaded down across an extensive area. Most of the 20,000 residents fled for their lives but approximately 2,000 people stayed behind and hoped to wait out the disaster in their homes. Those who stayed…
