karen Plate Tectonics There are two main ways scientist learn of earth saunterer is rock samples are rock sample from looking at the rock that comes from defence babanic explosion. The second main ways selected learn about earth centered is seismic waves seismic waves inderal travel thpro put where they travel speed path. Inconclusive this is how scientists learn about earth…

P1: Natural disasters have occured since the creation of the Earth and its enviornment. Sometimes they happen because it is earth’s way of releasing the stress and pressure that has been exerted onto it wether it was caused by humans or itself. Either way, these disasters can produce a multitude of negative effects towards the natural resources and life on Earth. P2: Sierra Leone is a particularly small nation located on the west section of Africa. This nation maybe small, but it contains about…

latitude is 138.7278°. It is over 3.7 kilometers tall, making it the highest volcano in Japan. The last confirmed eruption of Mount Fuji, was on the 15th of December 1707. It is still an active volcano. In 2014 there was speculation that it would erupt because of the pressure from the 2011 earthquake which reached 9.0 on the Richter scale. Mount Fuji was not the first volcano to stand where it currently is, the first volcano, mount Komitake, originally became active around about 700,000 years…

fifty homes, forty-seven bridges, fifteen miles of railways and one hundred eighty-five miles of highway. Mount Saint Helens had been dormant for the past one hundred twenty-three years. The volcano was also a strato-volcano. The volcano is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc. A volcanic arc is a chain of volcanos formed over a subduction plate. The Cascade Volcanic Arc is a major range of volcanoes stretching all the way from British,…

liquid rock, once this magma reaches the conduits (channels for conveying water or other fluid) the gases explode and may burst out the sides of the cone in addition to the summit crater. Mt Vesuvius is a Stratovolcano also known as a composite volcano. Stratovolcanoes are also called composite as they are made of built up of alternating layers of lava flow, ash and blocks of unmelted stone. Stratovolcanoes form above the subduction zone at plate boundaries. They are known for erupting with…

and 5.5 miles long. (Bagley) There were a series of smaller eruptions a few months before the largest and final eruption. Local fishermen and villagers marveled at the clouds of ash and smoke looming above the giant volcano. They weren’t exactly sure what was going on with the volcano, but they had no idea of the power waiting to explode from its three…

Volcanoes exist all around the world. A volcano is a break in the Earth’s crust that produces lava, gases, ash. Some volcanoes are active and some volcanoes extinct and dormant. Magma usually forms 30 to 120 miles beneath Earth’s surface. Most volcanoes are tourist attractions and most people like to climb them and to live near them to produce some heat to there house when the people don't have any heat. Villarrica is located in the country of chile. Villarrica has a 4 star warning and…

to. You do not have to because Yellowstone National Park has a super volcano that is the strongest one, and is larger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined, and has the fastest bird in the world. It is interesting that there is a supervolcano somewhere in the United States. A supervolcano is a volcano that is powerful enough to eject 240 cubic miles of magma. As well as the supervolcano, Yellowstone has another active volcano (Park Facts). An interesting…

erupting in 1991, the volcano had been dormant for around 400 years. During the years of 1990 and 1991, there were many events that led to the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck 100 kilometres north east of the mountain on July 16, 1990. This event is contributed to the reawakening of the dormant volcano which triggered many small earthquakes around the volcano. The actual eruption of Mount Pinatubo didn’t occur until June 15 1991. The volcano is located on the…

Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that describes the large-scale motion of Earth’s Lithosphere. The theory was believed to be developed around 1912 by Alfred Wegener. Wegener introduced the fact that all of today’s continents were once a large supercontinent (Pangea) and how they slowly drifted to their present positions. This idea was developed by simple observations such as the fact that the African and South-American coast lines fit together like pieces of a puzzle and that fossils and…
