Every year at least one volcano erupts and damages many things around them, but how do volcanoes effect the people and their environment? There are many different types of volcanoes such as the cinder cone volcano, shield volcano and many more but what they all have in common is that they effect the environment and the people living in it. How do volcanoes affect people and environments? There are different ways volcanoes can affect the people and the environment. It could be an active volcano,…

Throughout time, many ideas have come and gone about the movement of continents, some saying that it’s true, and some saying that it’s not. One theory, though, is the most well known and the one most people believe to be true. This is the continental drift theory, created by Alfred Wegener, a German meteorologist. Alfred Lothar Wegener was born on November 1st, 1880 to a German family. He was the youngest child of Richard and Anna Wegener. He had 2 siblings, a sister named Tony Wegener, and a…

earth quake because of what scientists were able to study and learn from it. This earthquake affected earth, caused severe damage, a large death toll, as well as created an economic impact. Studying this earthquake we are able to determine the type of plate boundary that occurred and if this was expected from this type of boundary. The Great San Francisco earthquake of 1906 remains as one of the most important…

The chain mail also incorporated mittens, which had chain mail on the back of them and leather gloves on the inside to better hold reins and weapons, and a hood with an attached ventail to protect the throat (Hanley). The surcoat was placed on top of all the armor and was a useful way to display the knight’s coat of arms, which was helpful since it was hard to distinguish knights when they put their helmets on (Hanley). The sword belt, which allowed the knight to carry his sword without actually…

unexpectedly resulted in a volcanic eruption. Lava emerged out of the fissure and began to build a cone shape, which was a volcano. Also, tectonic plates moved through the solid earth in a cycle between the crust and the mantle over very long periods of time. Plate tectonics form the Earth’s crust and are floating above the mantle. The boundaries of the plate tectonics either form mountains or volcanoes from magma beneath the surface, or are subducted and recycled back into the mantle as it…

east coast of South America. After the discovery of seafloor spreading the theory was validated in the late 1950s. Richard was one of the first scientists to prove the theory of Plate tectonics. As an expert in Crustal extension, Richard contributed more than 50 pages worth of scientific data to further prove the theory of plate…

Damages were not nearly as serious as it would be today, mostly because Southern California was sparsely populated. The effects of the earthquake were quite dramatic, even frightening. Were the Fort Tejon shock to happen today, the damage would easily run into billions of dollars, and the loss of life would be substantial. On March 10, 1933, a 6.4 earthquake hit the Newport-Inglewood Fault, causing serious damage in long Beach and other communities. The earthquake resulted in 120 deaths and more…

generally caused by one thing; plate tectonics. All three will be discussed in detail. This paper will describe how they affect each other. This is a very interesting topic because it is so hard to predict. Plate tectonics are interesting in the way they work. This is the constant moving and shifting of the earth’s crust which is divided into segments called plates. They are about the same size as a continent and vary in size as the continents do. Each plate also has various landforms,…

Plate tectonics is the belief the lithosphere is separated into a few dozen plates that move around across the earth 's surface relative to each other, like big pieces of ice on a lake. If we were able to lay the earth flat to see where the plates were positioned, it would have the appearance of an orange peel; with the earth 's crust as the orange color shell and the white as the lithosphere. The break points would be fault lines, the plate’s outer perimeter that aligns and intersects them.…

or deep? Fourth, explain the type of plate boundary the earthquake from the third question was near and why are earthquakes common to this area? Fifth where was the deepest and the…
