Charmaine's Mistake: A True Story Of A Volcano

Isabel was making herself at home, by exploring the island and adding to the map, she found a new love begin to grow. As time went on Isabel was bearing a child, exited and full of joy Isabel wrote to her mother back home “with the news of the expected arrival” (78). A letter was not sent from Tom, for his family was in the past and not to continue to the future, as his mother is dead and his father a cold man, he wanted no part in that life anymore, he focused on a rocking chair for his soon to be child. Time went on and a storm came, one that kept Tom with the light, and Isabel safely in bed. The storm thundered and defend Tom from Isabel's cries of help. The blood, covering Isabel and soaking the bed, she has lost the child. That’s when Isabel's life changed, everything had become dull, the room now a coffin she was trapped in “life had stopped at its edges” (90). Day passed and the couple grieved but chores didn’t stop, just as the light, the days went on. Completing chores outside Isabel heard a cry thought to be of her imagination, Tom cried “from the gallery - ‘on the beach! A boat!’” (100) this had Isabel running for the

After the Mount Vesuvius erupted the land was covered with lava and people were running everywhere. All the trees died, and the plants, it killed animals. Livia and Tranio were the only people who lived in Italy the lava had killed the rest of the people. Livia and tranio ran to a boat where they were safe. The lava was coming right at them and they were scared. They drove the boat fare away. They heard some noise coming from the forest.

Yet, why would they leave so quickly? Is it possible her father is lying about people coming after them and they should be worried? The scene made me feel excitement and fear due to the fact that they were leaving there home so suddenly, but were going on a brand new adventure, making me wonder where they may go next. (78 words)

The girl made sure to constantly look around her to make sure no one was following her. No one could discover the location of their camp. She searched the sand carefully, looking for the small stone that marked the entrance to her temporary home. She found it, and moved towards it quickly, picking it up and dusting the trap door off, before walking down the stairs. She knew the wind would like more sand on top of it, so she didn't worry.

Mount Vesuvius is one of history’s most recognizable Volcanoes, as each of its eruptions have gone down as a significant event in geologic history. The events that transpired during and after these eruptions have shaped the way scientists and people view the sheer power that these volcanoes possessed. This report will take a look at Vesuvius’ most prolific eruption in 79 AD. The geologic setting of the mountain, precursor activity, and the impact the eruption had on the surrounding populations and towns will all be detailed. Along with these details, this report will also look at the further history of Vesuvius’s explosive past by detailing its eruption cycle. Finally, the current state of Vesuvius and the possible danger

Considering there was such devastation from the May 8th eruption there was a few eye witnesses who were able to give their accounts on what happened that day. On the night of May 2, a small eruption of Mount Pelée meant that the town’s attention was fully on it. Witnesses said Pelée’s summit seemed to catch fire, spewing glowing rocks and rendering the midnight sky incandescent. The morning of May 3rd, the residents of St. Pierre found birds that had fallen from the sky, as they were weighed down by ash. Reports of a steamer captain noticing dead fish floating in the sea could have meant that the fish had been killed by a submarine earthquake that sent a shock wave through the sea. Within Ellery S Scott’s account of the 1902 disaster he claimed that the volcano threatened as early as 3rd may when the smoke came from the crater as well as ‘the people of Le Precheur, at the very base of the western slope of Pelée had for some time been smelling sul-phurous gases in the air, the forerunner of the great outburst that was even then ma¬king ready to shoot forth from beneath the rocky crust of the volcano.’ These signs should have given the people of Saint Pierre enough chance to evacuate.

Once about a time, there was a family of three, a mother, father, and a daughter. The mother name was Valerie Morales, the father's name was Jonathan Morales and the daughter's name was Stephanie Morales. In was June 21, 2001, Stephanie was on summer vacation, Stephanie is being homeschooled which allows her to end school at her own pace. The Morales family lived on a hill, in a castle that was in the middle of nowhere and an hour away from the city. Stephanies parents loved the fact that they weren't surrounding but people, they liked to have their own privacy.

They figured out it was not a normal day when all of a sudden Mount Vesuvius shot pieces off hot ash flew threw the sky hitting trees and buildings, Tranio grabbed Livi and ran down the street to a little escape boat which had supplies. Livi untied the rope while Tranio grabbed the anchor. They sailed for about 5 miles and stopped for the night. Livi sleepted in the chair while Tranio sleeped on the floor. In the morning about 7:00a.m. Livia made breakfast they ate apple and nuts that Tranio’s dad had put on the boat last week after their breakfast they set sail. They sailed to a little island, on the island there were trees, bamboo, and other materials for survival. Tranio grabbed the boat and pulled it to shore when the boat was nice and

It was taking a long time to find the right address because the GPS had taken us to the wrong house. We pulled into the driveway and typed it in again. Mom was so tired that she kept dozing off as well, so Callie was in charge of keeping her awake. Every time she’d tap on her shoulder, Mom would say something along the lines of, “I know, I know! We are almost there.” It was around one in the morning when we arrived at grandpa’s house.

The Capulin Volcano interestingly enough, is apart of what's known as the Raton-Clayton volcanic field (RCVF), a collected scattering of other volcano's that stretch well over 7,000 square miles. Located in Northeastern New Mexico, the Capulin lies dormante, although some believe extinct, since it's last volcanic activity more than 60,000 years ago. Capulin underwent a rather large eruption that formed its current 1000ft cinder cone shape, which gave way to "a number of small lava flows and cinder eruptions [that] paved over the mound, steepening it's slopes"(NASA, 2016). The base was inital made from the hot ash, cinder, and rock debris of the eruption, and the lava flows themselves were "basalt, deriving from the melting of the mantle" (Sayre and Ort, 2011). Due to

The Raton-Clayton volcanic field is about 20 000 km2 in size, and has been active periodically for the past 9 million years. The area is filled with peaks, cones, and lava-capped mesas. The mesas developed as lava flowed into valleys and depressions, cooled off and formed a resistant top layer over sedimentary rocks. As the surrounding rock eroded, the lava protected the underlying stratigraphy from erosion. This caused todays topography, where that which was once the lowest point, is now the highest. There is some disagreement over why the volcanic field is here, one possible cause is that it is near the end of the Jemez Lineament, which has numerous volcanic centers along its reach, possibly

Cracka...BOOM! The volcano that has not erupted for thousands of years finally did, with little to no warning to the people in Pompeii, a city at the foot of the volcano, giving little time to escape! This eruption ended all life in Pompeii, but its history lives on. When archaeologists start to uncover Pompeii, they find out how close their thousands of years ago life is to ours today. Things like their tools and how to use them, and how they used to live life.

The article, “The 40,000- Mile Volcano,” is very interesting. In it William Broad creates a vivid picture of this extremely long volcano. I can’t imagine a volcano’s vent being 40,000 miles long. That is just mind blowing. That could wrap around the world, at the equator, almost twice. Around the vent, many creatures live there. Those vents are hot enough to melt the plastic windows of submarines. How does an animal’s body adapt to that?

Galeras has been an active volcano for at least a million years, with andesite as the dominant product.[4] Two major caldera-forming eruptions have occurred, the first about 560,000 years ago in an eruption which expelled about 15 cubic kilometres (3.6 cu mi) of material. The second some time between 40,000 and 150,000 years ago, in a smaller but still sizable eruption of 2 cubic kilometres (0.48 cu mi) of material. Subsequently, part of the caldera wall has collapsed, possibly due to instabilities caused by hydrothermal activity, and later eruptions have built up a smaller cone inside the now horseshoe-shaped caldera.
