Volcano

dangerous natural occurrences on the planet, but the types of volcanoes that can destroy the world are know as super volcanoes. Super volcanoes are determined by past explosion and this volcano can be located in the United States called Yellow Stone. Their criteria also depend on the volume of an eruption, for a super volcano the eruption must be more than 240 cubic miles of pumas and ash. There had been three super explosions that fit the criteria at Yellow Stone. The dangers of a super…

On June 15, 1991, Mt. Pinatubo erupted. Volcanologists successfully predicted the eruption and issued a warning ahead of time, which allowed minimal casualties. The stakes for failing to predict an eruption accurately are high. If one fails to predict an eruption and it happens then lives and property can be lost; however, if one does predict and eruption and it does not happen then one’s personal reputation can be damaged or destroyed. In the case of Mt. Pinatubo, the U.S. volcanologists…

The Popocatepetl is a volcano that has captured attention since prehispanic times and until know for is activity, size and story. It is one of the highest volcanoes in Mexico as well as one of the most active. The fact that the is a large population living around this volcano makes it even more dangerous. The name “Popocatepetl” was given by the Aztecs, it means “smoking mountain”. They gave it this name because during their empire the Aztecs were able to witness options. The Popocatepetl has…

In the class 80% of the students get free lunch 15% gets reduced lunch and of the free lunch 75% live in a one parent home. As for the reduced lunch 12% live in a one parent home. Students have good…

volcanoes is the world. Sometimes we do not know when a volcano is going to erupt, but most of the times the volcano itself gives early signs of eruption. Some of those signs are small earthquakes beneath the volcano, swelling or increase heat and gases coming out of the volcano. A volcano is a mountain or hill, having a crater or vent where lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gases are being released from the earth's crust. One of the many active volcanos in the world is Mount Agung. Mount…

is home to a massive super volcano. Super volcanos sound frightening but that makes one wonder. What exactly is a super volcano? What are the requirements to make a volcano of that magnitude erupt? Could the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park erupt in our lifetime and what is the likelihood of it? For a volcano to earn the name of “supervolcano,” the volcano must be…

There are many volcanoes that are part of the Ring of Fire, and Krakatoa is one of them. Krakatoa is an active volcano located on an island, Rakata, in the Sunda Strait, Indonesia. The Sunda Strait is a body of water in between two islands, Java and Sumatra. The volcano is along the tectonic plates of the Indian-Australian and Eurasian, this area is known for its high activity of earthquakes and volcanoes. Krakatoa has erupted ten times within the last couple centuries and last erupted in…

boundaries collide.Eventually, the stress builds up and once it’s released it sends out seismic waves being sent out which produces an earthquake. Once this earthquake has hit Japan a tsunami follows. Sometimes an earthquake can even make an active volcano build up more pressure and explode.Plate boundaries is also where volcanoes and earthquakes are formed. Earthquakes are vibrations in the ground that result from different faults, including a normal, strike-slip, and reverse fault. Volcanoes…

This report is about Mount Etna. Mount Etna is a volcano found in Italy. “Mount Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe and one of the world's most frequently erupting volcanoes.” (Mount Etna: Facts) Mount Etna’s earliest known eruption was in 6190 BCE. The second known eruption was in 5150 BCE. These eruptions are known because of radiocarbon found in the area. The date of when this volcano was formed is not certain like most volcanos this one was formed on plate boundaries. Mount Etna is…

about Axial Seamount such as what it is, on what plates it is located on, what landforms are around it, etc. Axial Seamount is an underwater volcano located in the Northeastern Pacific Ocean, about 483 kilometers (300 miles) off the coast of Oregon. Because its frequent volcanic activity, the first underwater volcano observatory is located near the volcano. (www.pmel.noaa.gov) According to www.en.wikipedia.org, the two plates that create the boundary are called the Juan de Fuca plate and the…
