Comparison: The Chaiten Volcano In Southern Chile

With no prolonged periods of inactivity the volcano has continuously built up on itself. The last major eruption took place in 1790 and killed many people and animals, but numbers are unknown4. Starting in 1983 there was a chain of several eruptions that started and have yet to stop pushing lava through a lava tube till it reaches the Pacific Ocean. Over a span of twenty year the flow has

Zeus immediately started to become furious and his face started to become red. The Gods didn't know what they did wrong but Zeus suddenly began throwing his lightning bolts at the Gods. One after the other, Zeus would strike them right on their rear ends. During this temper tantrum Zeus was having, he missed the Gods more than hitting them. Ounce Zeus calmed down and realized he was overreacting, he took a moment to see what he did the the humans and all the trees and stuff like that. Instead of seeing mostly all Green, he saw flames of the fire he started. The humans houses were burning down, and everything was destroyed. Zeus almost started crying because he felt bad for what he had done. From that day on ,Zeus never threw lightning bolts again but, sometimes while its raining out and it's all gloomy, Zeus sometimes throws a couple lightning strikes thinking that if anything would catch on fire, the rain would put it

Sitting high atop Mount Olympus, the gods and goddesses of Greece were engaged in a heated battle of words. Poseidon swore that Zeus had taken his triton, but Zeus held to his opinion that Poseidon was in possession of his lightning bolt. "If YOU don't return my lightning bolt I'll wage war with you, puny sea god!"

Have you ever been near a volcano when it erupted? Most of us haven't, but if you're unlucky enough, you just might have. Many people think it would be cool, but it is indeed not. In fact, the people of Pompeii were very unlucky when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Nearly two-thousand people died. Although that eruption was very similar to the 1980 eruption of Saint Helens, it was also very different.

A hazard can be define as something which poses a level of threat the life, health, property or environment, a volcano can compromise all these things through the many hazards volcanoes presents. Such as lahars, flash flooding, landslides, pyroclastic flows, ash clouds and many others. There are factors which can influence the severity of the hazard and cause differences in them and can be classified into different categories, such as physical, economic, political and social.

● This was the first time this type of volcano eruption was actually witnessed and

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

Galis’s house. And he entered into the house..When he entered the cold, dark room, he heard a deep and boisterous yawn from the other side of the house. Zycon, the god of jealousy, pain, and power, realized that Galis, the chief god of volcanoes, was wide awake. So Zycon moved quietly and stealthily through Galis’s home. Because if Galis caught him, his whole plan would fail to take over MT. Galico and kill all the gods of Trae Island. So as he approached Galis he grabbed out the Javelin of death, which was the only thing that can kill the gods with a mortal soul potion on the tip. As soon as he pulled it out he charged toward Galis. Before Galis could even shout or fight back he was already trapped in a bag that would take away all of his

Tantalus was the child of Zeus and was honored by the gods more than any other mortal child. He was also the ancestor of the House of Atreus, however, his heinous act brought misfortune on his family generations after his death. All the gods loved to eat with him and one day, they all came to a banquet held at his house. Because the gods did Tantalus a favor by coming to his house, he decided to return the favor. Tantalus killed his son, Pelops, boiled his in a cauldron, and sent him up to the gods. When Pelops’ body reached the gods, they were disgusted by his horrifying actions, so they put a curse, in a pool in Hades, on him and his family for generations to come. Every time he leans down for a drink of water the water disappeared and every time he would reach for the fruit on a tree, the wind swung fruit into the air. Tantalus’ crime eventually leads to his death by depriving him of food and water. Tantalus committed such a horrifying crime because he wanted to be better than the gods and he also wanted to test the their omniscience. Tantalus was also driven by his hatred for the gods, so he was willing to murder his son to bring fear to the gods for being cannibals. As a result, the gods were terrified by his actions and decided that Tantalus and his family needed to face the consequences of doing such an awful

Shortly after the eruption, the entire northern side of the volcano collapsed (caused by the collapsing of the crypto dome) which sent an estimated 2.5 cubic kilometers of materials sliding the side of the mountain. This collapse released superheated gases along with magna that had been trapped in a lateral explosion. Anything within eight miles of this blast was gone instantaneously and continued on for

This is a true story about a girl and her family escaping a volcano that happened in their area. It was June 9th in Hawaii when Charmaine and her family woke up to a really loud “BOOM” sound. They were all very scared. Charmaine’s mother told the two girls to stay inside while she checked. As her mother went outside, she saw that the whole area was outside...SCARED! Their mother was very confused, but when she looked around, she saw it as well. Her face went pale as a ghost. In no time at all, she ran inside and started telling the girls to pack up their valuables.

“It is too late for that! He has polluted the earth ever since he was born!” Pan yelled. “So tomorrow I will add a new creature to the world!” Pan told Zeus.

Yasur volcano sends up a tremendous explosion of lava and emits a boom so loud that it can be heard from far away.Some have nicknamed it the world's friendliest volcano, although its brutality and occasionally dangerous eruptions of lava and gas would seem to defy that description.Vanuatu President Baldwin Lonsdale says that Yasur volcano has become a popular tourist attraction.Yoram Teitler, a geologist who was a research fellow at the University of Western Australia, said that the volcano, which has been active for hundreds of years, is constantly bubbling, with larger eruptions coming once or twice an hour.Observers can stand about 500 feet from the crater floor. Kelson Hosea, who owns some rental properties near the base of Yasur, said

Volcanoes and Earthquakes are two of the most intriguing natural disasters that can occur on earth. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, they can awaken at almost any point in time throughout the year. These two natural disasters are also different from others because they occur on the layers of the earth itself. Volcanoes, while large to us, are actually small, conical patches of earth that spurt and ooze hot molten lava from the core, and can destroy areas of land triple their size. Earthquakes, on the other hand, are severe jolts felt on land due to the movement of earths tectonic plates. Some may describe earthquakes as being similar to riding a bike down a flight of stairs. The impact of an earthquakes can take down even the largest buildings and strongest structures. All natural disasters can have damaging effects on land, some more than others, and all can be measured or predicted in different ways. Although earthquakes and volcanoes are similar to each other, the two are still very comparable. A few of these similarities and differences include the cause of their occurrence, and how their occurrence impacts the environment.
