My Dream Home

A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat tolife, health, property or environment. The level of hazard posed by different volcanoes can very greatly, from a weak eruption with minimal impact that causes little damage, to a voilent and life threatening explosion. Most of the sixty-plus volcanoes that erupt each year are low risk, however a combination of factors can cause a volcano to be a serious hazard. The factors causing these variations will be explained in this essay.

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.

Volcanoes are one of the most destructive, yet, most beautiful things on Earth. They can make a famous city choke in its own ashes in one day, like Pompeii. Or they can turn a once damaging mountain into a graceful and peaceful home for new life, like Mount St. Helen’s. All volcanoes are unique, and no two are the same. Some erupt differently than others, some look different than others, and all are located in different spots all over the world. I learned this while completing the project and the five volcanoes I researched are examples of my discoveries. The five volcanoes I researched were Mount Hood, Mount Mageik, Long Island, Mount Muria, and Las Pilas.

Something beautiful can also be dangerous, as like the darkness can have phenomenal results. Volcanoes are one example of nature’s beauty, they can be fascinating, exciting, magnificent, but they can also be catastrophic. Their hazard eruptions put many lives at risk, destroying properties, places, and can disrupt air quality. The list of volcanoes is huge, there are three groups of them, dormant, extinct and active volcanoes. From the latter group there are about 500 in the entire world. Although both Mt. St Helens and Mt Pinatubo are two of the most significant volcanoes in the world, they have some characteristics that show their differences and similarities between both of them.

If you could have the luxury of both family and privacy would you take it? My dream house, or shall I say, would be just that. I’ve dreamt about where and how I wanted to live when I was younger for years. My dream place to live would have to be a remote family village, that has the many conveniences of being close to work and family, where everyone has their own separate sections, yet we a still isolated from the world.

This 14,411 foot active volcano is hiked by thousands. To reach the summit, there’s a vertical elevation gain of more than 9,000 feet over a distance of eight more miles. Climbers who don’t reach the summit completely have to descend to lower elevations because of bad weather, strong winds, or altitude illnesses. The youngest to make it to the summit was a 7 year old girl, and the oldest person to make it was an 81 year old man. There are

Usually, many earthquakes in succession can warn of a volcanic eruption. Warning systems for volcanoes are based on the possibility of a hazard. The volcanoes are classified based upon the likeliness of an eruption. An active volcanoe is currently erupting or expected to erupt in the near future. Dormant volcanoes are inactive, but they are likely to erupt sometime in the future. An extinct volcanoe is unlikely to erupt again. Even though a volcanoe is not expected to erupt, it could suddenly become active. Volcanoes are unpredictable because almost any of these mountains could erupt again. There is no current way to ensure that a volcanoe will not erupt. To prepare for a volcanoe families should have an emergency supply kit that includes food, first aid kits, and other supplies. Also every family should have a plan to stay safe during any natural disaster. The best way to stay safe from a volcano that is likely to erupt is to evacuate (Anderson, 2012). 260,000 have died within 300 years from different volcanoes and their aftermath (National Geographic, 2016). Volcanic eruptions can be accompanied by other natural disasters including mudflows, flash floods, rock falls, acid rain, and tsunamis. Devastation from a volcanoe can stretch for hundreds of miles (Anderson, 2012). Hence, volcanoes are unpredictable disasters that everyone near a volcanoe should be prepared for, even if it is not expected to erupt

For no reason I can explain, I have always wanted to go to Hawaii. And once I did it, an urge of living there have been installed inside of me. I know there are a lot of volcanoes (active and inactive ones) around there. But we have to do what our heart asks to, right? A safe way to do it so, is asking a volcano specialist everything I can, so I learn more about the place’s history, the chances of a volcano to erupt, how toxics are the gases coming out of the magma, and the chances of an earthquake to happen.

Ash plumes and steam rose into the bright blue sky as the underground earthquake shook the land and rattled windows all across the eighteen mile town. As the jet circled the island, in view of lovely beaches and emerald water, looming over this lush paradise was the screaming volcano. Volcanos erupt when the pressure inside of them becomes so great that the magma surges up and forces its way out. An exploding volcano can rip apart a mountain in just seconds, when the eruption is over, a landscape is changed forever. The united states is home to more volcanos than any other country except Indonesia, and Japan. The majority of these volcanoes are in Alaska. Until recently, there was no way to predict when a volcano would blow, although volcanoes give off many warning signs before they erupt. Including smaller earthquakes beneath the volcano, slight inflation, or swelling. The rising magma eventually causes the solid rock to break, sending earthquake signals. Most volcanoes give warning signs beginning weeks or months before they blow (Lindop).

As I sit here, on the hood of my car looking out into the vast field I think to myself, why this place? Out of all the places that mean so much to me, why does this place stand out the most? Everyone has that one spot that is special to him or her for various reasons whether it be a memory, experience, how it makes them feel, etc. For me, my favorite place encompasses all my senses bringing them to an all time high filling me with an overwhelming indescribable feeling. It’s my sanctuary, a safe place, but above all a place to clear my mind and getaway from reality. There aren’t enough captivating words to describe the beauty of this place. In the winter, the vast field covered in a blanket of untouched glimmering snow surrounded by bare

Furthermore, the reason why I loved my house so much is because I had my own room. As a child I had to share rooms with my sister in a 8 broom house filled with my family until my mother decided

Religion is a state of who you are. It signifies a person 's mental activities as well as their physical attributions to the world that surrounds them. Religion is a form of state that distinguish between different types of groups and cultures. While in a specific religious group, one must abide by all the rules and commit to what the religion has to offer. It is known that when a person disobeys their religious they get looked at as an outsider, or just as a person from another religious group. In This Blessed House written by Jhumpa Lahiri, she expresses how religion can be the cause of destroying a perfect romantic relationship. The couple in the story, Sanjeev and his wife Tanima, also known as Twinkle are both

Home is the place one spends more time in their life and share special moments with family. Where one expects to live permanently carefree and feel protected under the roof of their house. One day I want to have a home that makes me feel well and where I can be safe and happy. The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the decisions I made about designing my future dream house.
