Volcano

relaxing and flipping through the TV channels I saw that a volcano near my house may erupt. Not only is it going to erupt, but it is predicted to be so big it may bring another ice age, but I’m not buying it. In the seventies it was global cooling, then the nineties brought global warming, when the models didn’t come to fruition they changed it to climate change in the two thousands. Now they are convinced they can tell that a volcano that has oozed as long as I can remember, hell as long as…

Many people moved to Pompeii for its fertile soil and volcanic ash. 17 years before the eruption a staggering earthquake hit Pompeii and Herculaneum.

And through comparing the two eruptions, the relationship between the damage and size of eruption will be demonstrated. There are three main types of volcanoes, stratovolcano, shield volcano, and cylinder cone volcano; both Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Pelee are stratovolcano. Although both are the same types of volcano, they have many differences from the sizes to damages. The Mt. St. Helens’ eruption in 1980 was level 5 of VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index), the level 5 eruption occur once in a…

Mount St. Helen's is an active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range in Skamania County, Washington and is part of the Ring of Fire centered around the Pacific Ocean. Mount St. Helen's was created when the oceanic Jean de Fuca plate subducted beneath the North American Plate and has a long history of eruptive periods followed lengthy dormancies. Her volcanic activity was marked by thousands of years of lava and pyroclastic flows only to fall silent and then reawaken to begin her destructive cycle…

Life in Pompeii, Uncovered Bang! In the year 79 AD, the huge volcano, Mount Vesuvius erupted covering everything around for miles in 20 feet of stones and ash. Pompeii was one of the devastated cities. A cloud of poisonous gas from the volcano killed thousands of people. No one has lived in the city for almost 2,000 years. Even though Pompeii seemed destroyed, it had actually been perfectly preserved. In this essay, I will explain the aftermath, daily objects, and the similarities of Pompeii…

It is located in Oahu, Hawaii Island. The Oahu Island is the result of active Waianae Volcano around 3.9 from now. It went dormant leaving the present state of Oahu Island. The Hanauma bay is also the result of this volcanic activity. The important feature of its geography is that a ring shape bay is form with the curvature of Lava…

india to record data, Fortunately, samples from both the bottom and top of this volcanic layer contained zircon, allowing the team to pinpoint the timing of the beginning and end of the Deccan Traps eruptions. During the time of the volcanos erupting, over 10,000 volcanos erupted and because of all of this the volcanic dust blocked the sun and because of the sunlight being blocked then had the earth get less oxygen than having the dinosaurs then suffocate because the volcanic dust lowered the…

The volcano is filled with magma, which then turns into lava when it erupts, it is white liquid when it erupts then changes colours through yellow, orange, red and then when it solidifies it turns black and hard.[Source 6] The volcano also consists of gas (such as steam and hydrogen sulfide), ash and lumps of solid volcanic rock (such as scoria).Volcanoes are at or near…
