Soufrière Hills

Introduction In this paper the Soufriere Hills Volcano will be analyzes in several different parts; an introduction to the Soufriere Hills volcano, the composition of the magma and lava in the volcano, other characteristics of the magma and lava, ash production from eruptions, pyroclastic flows, volcanic activity before the 1995 eruption, the 1995 eruption, cyclic activity within the volcano, and potential hazards of the Soufriere Hills volcano. Soufriere Hills volcano is located in the south central part of the British overseas territorial island of Montserrat near the northern end of the Lesser Antilles volcanic arc in the West Indies (Young et al., 1998). The island of Montserrat is comprised of a number of volcanic centers that range…

create a town belt, which had a positive effect on sustaining the green space around the city. The Settlers also took advantage of the hills beside the wetlands and reclaimed a lot of area in order to develop more flat land for the city. This had a negative impact on the environment because the landscape was dramatically…

you ready”? I respond with “Of course” We hop in the now warm car and begin our drive into the hills. We get to our destination and slowly hop out of the car trying not to make a sound, grab our rifles and begin to walk. Walking…

I’m almost there, I thought. I could see the cliff that I would soon be pulling myself over to find the secrets that “Mount. Bloodsuck” held. Only a handful of people had climbed this landmark before, but none of them have been found. We used to think that they died on the way up but there was recently found evidence that shows they made it to the top. I don’t know all the details about it but basically, they used a telescope to look at the top of the mountain and saw smoke signals. I never…

Ever since I was a little girl I have wanted to be tall. One day my mom took me to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. As we were roaming throughout the day we finally ended up at the Giraffe exhibit. Being a 7-year-old, I girl didn't know what a giraffe was. At the exhibit, I instantly stopped dead in my tracks and whispered to myself “I want to be that tall” And instantly fell in love. To this day giraffes are still my favorite animal. Earlier this year I went back to the same zoo and learned…

have it in a random, isolated location in the woods that are across the lake from my cabin which is an isolated area to begin with. I chose this location for more a joke factor in a sense because people would not expect this at all and a random person that stumbles upon it would be in awe with what they have just “found”. People may think that it is something signifcant from the past and/or holds great value to the past as well. They would potentially think that it is historic. It will be on a…

Blue Sky Mine by Midnight Oil is an environmental song complaining about the dreadful tragedy of Wittenoom. The title – Blue Sky Mine – describes the blue asbestos mine at Wittenoom, and is used ironically to illustrate the deprived working conditions of the workers of the mine. The fast passed and rhythmic introduction creates an enthusiastic and ecstatic mood showing how the Colonial Sugar Refining Ltd sent subliminal messages to Australians inferring that mining is an easy way to get rich.…

I rode the dirt bike safely and at a normal speed for five minutes and then me, my dad and my brother finally ended the trail. We were on the open area and just like the sign at the beginning said there were a lot of dirt hills everywhere. We figured out that we had about ten minutes left until we needed to start driving back to the car and then go home. So we decided to hang out around the hills and ride around on the hills. We did a few jumps and we were about to leave when I went way to…

Everytime someone mentions mountains, I cannot help but to think about the trek up my first mountain. The first mountain I climbed, was Mount Fuji in Japan. Also known as Fujisan, this mountain stands at just over twelve-thousand feet. As the morning of the climb approached, my family and I got up early to go to the bus station. The bus ride was an hour long, past lush green farms,terraced rice paddies, down back country roads, before we arrived at the SUicide Forest. The Suicide Forest is…

In the vast plains of Montana, full of grass as green and bright as an emerald with a few drops of dew after a rainy day, with rolling hills that go on farther than the eye can see and an infinite clear baby blue sky above it all, there was a little red barn. It was old and rustic, completely different from the other cheery and bright cottages in the tiny town of Wicksdale. It’s paint peeled off the walls a little bit more every day. It creaked and groaned with the gusting winds that accompanied…
