Plate tectonics

Everyone deals with their own personal problems, whether it is financial issues, family issues, work issues, college issues, etc. Those dilemmas are their first priority to fix because whether it is a bill to pay before a due date, a family member sick, project at work due or a homework assignment deadline, these are all problems that have a date given and the individual knows he/she must figure a way to solve the issue by that date. In the article, “THE REALLY BIG ONE”, Kathryn Schulz,…

exist all around the world. They are the weakest spot on the Earth’s crust where hot lava comes to the surface. Volcanic eruption results from magma.The summit of magma sometimes they rise to the vent instead of the crater. Volcanos can also be by plate boundary. When lava comes to the surface ras rises to the crater. Mount St Helens is located in the U.S. in Washington. Mount St Helens is on the southwest of Washington. Mount St Helens is a dormant volcano. In its spectacular eruption in…

Australia was once part of Antarctica and slowly made its journey towards north, I am going to focus on the landscape history of Australia after its separation from Antarctica starting with the Permian period. At this time Australia was still located near South Pole and slowly moving north, during this period Australia was covered by ice, regions in Australia began to wear off forming sedimentary basins on land. By the time it was Cretaceous period Australia was a low and quite flat continent…

Dear Dr. Anthony Davis, The entire Eighth grade,including the teachers, has been thinking about going on a field trip to a very amazing and educational place. We have been thinking about going on a field trip to the Lava Beds National Monument, but to do this we would need your approval which I hope we will receive after I give you the in depth details of the educational values we would indulge in on this trip. On this field trip we would learn about the history of the formation of the lava…

Web Project 2 http://pubs.usgs.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…

c. 1. A whopping 8.3 earthquake lasting several minuets occurred in Chile on Wednesday. Only once a year are quakes of this size seen out of one and a half million quakes a year. Because Chile has a history of earthquakes this has made specialists keep an eye on seismic activity, enabling them to equip buildings to better uphold in the tremors. Although this massive earthquake damage toll could have been much more overwhelming, for its size it was not. Nonetheless, maintenance and cleanup…

planet with several continents that are a result of the spread of Pangea. This is understood to be the result of continental drift. Continental drift is due to the Earth’s plates (located EXTREMELY far down below Earth’s surface) shifting as a result of the heat provided by the Earth’s core which exudes to other layers, causing the plates to move, and…

made a national monument in 1932 by President Herbert Hoover. It is home to many species of animals and plants, such as the American pikas and Entaphalleas. Through the breaking apart and movement of large surface plates, the Great Sand Dunes were uplifted in the rotation of a large plate. With many volcanic eruptions, the Great Sand Dunes were born! The largest recorded volcanic eruption, La Garita Caldera, was what started the formation of the…

The Hōryū-ji Temple remain located in Nara prefecture Japan, is the oldest existing timber structure; dated from 607 AD. The temple’s construction is held up by structural elements called the Dougong, which are placed on top of large, firm and stable vertical pillars, to support the weight of upper stories, roofs and eaves. The Dougong is composed of overlapping wooden brackets; the ‘Dou’: a block placed on a column, creating space for multiple bow-shaped arms; ‘gong’, to be interlocked, which…

On 12 November 2017, northeast Iraq experienced an earthquake from the city of Halabja. According to the Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System, approximately 1,840,000 people live with within 100km of the epicenter of this earthquake in both Iraq and Iran. There have been nine reported fatalities and over 550 people injured in Iraq as a result of the earthquake. The Darbandikhan areas has been most severely impacted, with most earthquake related injuries reported in Darbandikhan, Halabja…
