Mount Vesuvius

gov/fs/2000/fs060-00/ The most recent significant eruption of Mount Hood happened in the 1790’s shortly before Lewis & Clark passed through the area. There was less significant explosive activity around the middle of the 17ths century. After this time the volcano has been quiet and inactive. There will come a time when Mount Hood will erupt again. How will those eruptions impact us and what might they look like? Through study of Mount Hood’s past volcanic behavior U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)…

All volcanoes are amazing to see in action. Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Stratovolcanoes, and Shield Volcanoes are different types of volcanoes with their similarities and differences. 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…

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…

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 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…

The map is almost uncannily similar to today's: a spray of black dots showing the recorded sightings of a foul grey haze spreading across Europe, from Helsinki to Naples, from Heligoland to Mallorca, and reaching eventually to Aleppo and Damascus – and all of it caused by clouds of ash from an immense volcano erupting far across the sea in Iceland. But this was a map made from data collected in 1783. The volcano was called Laki, it erupted for eight dismal months without cease, ruined crops,…
