Volcano

When: The eruption took place March to May 2010. The eruptions in March were mostly lava eruptions which presented little threat. On April 14th a new phase of eruption occurred which became much more explosive; violent and massive eruptions spent large amounts of ash high up into the atmosphere (Muskett, 2014). Where: Eyjafjallajökull Volcano is located in Southern Iceland approximately125km away from Reykjavik, the capital city (Muskett, 2014) (reference map to the right). What: The Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland. This type of volcano is known as ______. This type in particular has ice build up which consequently caused massive flooding in Southern Iceland when the lava started to flow (Loughlin, S. 2017). Why: This eruption was caused…

All volcanoes are amazing to see in action. Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Stratovolcanoes, and Shield Volcanoes are different types of volcanoes with their similarities and differences. All volcanoes are magnificent features of Earth’s crust. One type of volcano is a cinder cone. “A cinder cone volcano doesn’t have any horizontal layers of solid lava flows mixed with layers of other rock,”stated on zmescience.com. Cinder cone volcanoes are sloped like a mountain, although they have a large number of…

Yellowstone Volcano Introduction I am covering the Yellowstone National Park Volcano to tell you the possible, but not likely dangers of this volcano. Yellowstone can be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world these days. Not for the eruptions in the past thousand years, but for the eruptions in the recent history of the universe. The universe is 14 billon years old and the earth is 4.5 billon years old. That would make the Yellowstone eruptions relativity young compared to the age of…

The volcano is part of the Pico de The volcano Parícutin is located in the volcanic fields in Míchoacan-Guanajuato.This volcano is also the greatest in both area. This volcano has not erupted since 1952. Also the elevation of the volcano is 9,186’. The volcano Parícutin was named by a nearby village of Parícutin. The volcano is the youngest of the approximately 1,400 volcanic vents of the Míchoacan-Guanajuato volcanic field. The volcanic field is 40,000 square kilometers (15,000 square miles).…

So my volcano caused the deaths of 2,000 lives of men and women. The name of my volcano is Mount Vesuvius and back in august 79 AD it caused the city of Pompeii to be destroyed. Volcanos can go off at anytime and anywhere. Earlier before the volcano erupted it was a hot sunny day and the sun was beating down on all the citizens of Pompeii and made them all move to the middle where the water fountain was. As most people went to the middle the volcano started to erupt and put a cloud of ash that…

world. In 2018, the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea erupt after a series of earthquakes damaged the interior of the volcano. After only four weeks of lava flow and an area of 5.5 square miles covered there has been tens of thousands of people evacuated and more than 80 homes destroyed as well as other infrastructures. Hundreds were left stranded, cut off by lava flows with no power, working water and electricity. Para 1 Hawaii is an island located in the Pacific Ocean. It is part of the USA so it is…

There have been many volcano eruption occurred in New Mexico. Through these eruption we can make a prediction of what will happen in the future. I look at the Figure V1 that shows the location, age, and composition of volcanoes and volcanic rocks in New Mexico. Figure V2 shows the histogram of ages for volcanic rocks in the Jemez Mountains. Figure E1 shows the important large-scale tectonic features. After looking at Figure VI and V2 i noticed there is relationship between varies Volcano…

Subject of study: The subject of study is the formation of the Hawaiian archipelago. The island chain is comprised of a string of volcanic islands, seamounts of igneous rock of which the largest, Hawaii, reaches from its base on the ocean floor to rise above the ocean to rival the height of the tallest mountain, Mt. Everest. The smaller and extinct volcanos of the Hawaiian chain are located at successively greater distances from the currently active volcano and younger, Kilauea on the largest…

Most people know the basic facts concerning volcanoes. They know that when volcanoes erupt, hot lava flows out scalding the land and everything in sight. Why do volcanoes do that? What causes them to be destructive, yet beautiful? Not every region has a volcano. Just like not every region has a tectonically sensitive fault line. The Pacific Rim, also known as the Ring of Fire, is the habitat of 90% of the world’s volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Four hundred and fifty two volcanoes are…

Funding Volcano Monitoring The U.S. Senate has recently released their budget. This caused many people to begin debating whether the United States should fund volcano monitoring or not. Although many people have disliked taxes, they are an important need. Without taxes, money for roads, schools, and retirees would not be available. The Senate should push for the funding of volcano monitoring. This would be essential for the future, especially with the uprise of volcano eruptions. With the…
