I believe that there are no plate tectonics on Venus. I believe this because of the reasearch that i did on this topic. Venus shows no evidence of plate tectonics on it's planet. " There are no long, linear volcano chains or any clear subduction zones. The transform plate boundary, causes the plates to slide past one another, which may cause earthquakes or fault lines, which is exactly what is happening. The plates are sliding past one another and earthquakes ar occuring which may lead one to…

Pompeii Disaster There have been few natural disasters quite as catastrophic as the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The volcano destroyed the ancient Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum by burying them in molten ash, pumice, sulfuric gas, and mud. The eruption killed thousands of people, and the cities have never been rebuilt since. (History.com) The cities were left undiscovered for 1700 years, until 1748. The discovery of Pompeii led to the revelation of artifacts, bodies and…

Pompeii was an ancient Roman city, located in what is know today as southern Italy, that remained lost to the world for over sixteen hundred years after a volcanic eruption of nearby Mount Vesuvius left it blanketed in ash. As the city was unearthed a clearer picture of Roman life began to emerge. Though several Roman cities were merely left to disrepair after the empire fell and not impacted by a volcanic eruption, they were affected by the elements that fell upon them in the nearly two…

There are many geological hazards that could affect the Portland Metro area in the near future, but the three most devastating would be Earthquake, Volcano Eruption, and a landslide. There has been numerous rumor about the “big earthquake” that is long over due for the PNW. The earthquake is estimated to be a nine magnitude, which means it’s going to cause a lot of damage to Portland and could even make Portland disappear. An earthquake is generally formed when the underground suddenly breaks…

However, Iceland is different geologically than the oceanic floor along most of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, so the activity may be significantly different between the two areas of the Ridge. Methods The Volcano Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA) database was used to gather data on volcanic eruption histories along the the North American-Eurasian plate boundary. This database is maintained by several international institutions and is endorsed…

The film cuts to the Marianas Trench on the South Pacific, shows another dark cloud with lightning approaching. A vessel appears stranded in the middle of the waters. There is also a helicopter on the right side of the screen, which is headed for the vessel. We learn that this is where they will drill down into the Earth’s core to restart its rotation. Keyes and his crew are ready for the mission into the Earth’s core as it begins to rain rather heavily as a part of the storm. They understand…

Cerén is what preserved the site in great detail. The tephra, or volcanic ash, “was moist and fine-grained to preserve the structures, activity areas, artifacts and cultivated the landscape” (Sheets et. Al. 2015: 343). Eruption of the Loma Caldera Volcano was sudden that the villagers left the village while in the middle of their daily lives. They were still making food, painting pottery and constructing the Sacbe as shown “with the finger swipes of food still left in pottery serving bowls from…

the north. It is estimated that the Earth’s crust below the Taupo Volcanic Zone may possibly be as small as 16 kilometers think and currently moves approximately 8mm per year. The TVZ is named after Lake Taupo, the caldera of the formaly largest volcano in the zone. The region we see today is formed from a combination of internal and external processes that shape and form the volcanic region. There are five main volcanic centers in the Taupo region, which are Mt Ruapehu, Mt Ngauruhoe, Mt…
