Investigating Plate Margins Plate margins are the edges of the plates, where all the power of nature is released in earthquakes and volcanoes. There are three main types of plate margins: - Spreading Boundaries There are two types of spreading boundary Ridges, where new rock is formed, pushing the plates apart, and Rift, where the plates pull apart, and the earth between them sinks. On the ocean floor the plates are spreading. All along the mid ocean
SUBMARINE VOLCANOES Sub marine volcanoes are fissures or vents present under water, through which magma comes out. These submarine volcanoes are one of the principal dynamic forces acting on earth’s crust. The volcanic eruptions which take place under the surface of water at mid oceanic ridges, subduction zones and within tectonic plates due to hotspots add up to produce submarine volcanoes. Sub marine volcanoes are far mare superior to sub aerial volcanoes in terms of magma generation. According
Thesis: At convergent boundaries, mountains, volcanoes, and other natural things can occur because when the plates collide, one plate is forced above the other and this happens because of the density and composition of the minerals and elements in the plates. Story: To start on our journey Jay and I started out towards magnetic north using our GPS (global positioning system) on a beautiful mountain in the great state of Hawaii. You don’t realize how beautiful nature and the world is until
the signs of an approaching earthquake or volcanic eruption and so minimizing the danger by taking the actions necessary because so far it is impossible to stop them and if it were the earth would not be able to release its underground pressure and shake itself apart so prevention is not an option. The only other option is to look for the early warning signs s, for volcanoes these are small earthquakes that signal that magma is rising that’s causes cracks in the earths
disaster-prone areas. The vulnerability of these peoples is often due to their lack of knowledge about the potential risks in the area. As these settlements become larger, the more imbedded into the surrounding area it becomes. In this paper we will look at the communities that surround the Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador. Specifically, evaluating how the emergency management system operates and functions to provide support to these vulnerable communities. Volcanic eruptions typically cause an immediate
reason to earthquakes. Scientists say almost 600 million years ago, all the continents were connected to form a huge super continent called Pangaea. At about 220 million years ago, Pangaea began to break up into sub-blocks. According to the book Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and the Formation of Continents, these sub-blocks were called "Gondwana (which corresponds approximately to the continents of the present southern hemisphere) and Laurasia (the northern hemisphere)" (Kohler 15). According to Pierre
With the abundance of information now available on everything from the newest trends to the latest medical advances to the current beliefs about how the universe began, it is important to look at everything with a critical eye. It is easy for someone to start up a webpage and pass off their opinions and thoughts about a topic as a fact, even though there is no firm basis for their way of thinking. We, as the audience, must examine the ideas and thought put across with a critical eye. In order to
America. Slightly bigger than the state of Massachusetts, it is located Southwest of Honduras and Southeast of Guatemala. The 23 active volcanoes located within this country are so spread out and connected that they separate the land into the southern coastal belt as explained by Every Culture (2017). El Salvador is uniquely known as the Land of Volcanoes. These volcanoes and mountains allow for there to be different cultural variations throughout the country. Initially being home to many tribes such
had to make sure it would show up and actually work on the screen. 2. It provided multiple ways to show competence for sure. Because it was basically our own decision of how we wanted it to look, we had a lot of leeway. All of us had our own talents, and we all contributed to that by making our website look phenomenal. Some of us were great at organizing the information on the different pages, some were smart at knowing what colors to put on which background, some people were very techy and knew
Iceland has strict restrictions on who is allowed to carry, and those who are eligible have to go through several tests. Gun control is just one example of how Iceland is using rules and restrictions on issues that could turn in to a problem. By taking the issues at hand before they become a problem, they are thinking practical to prevent their country from violence and crime making their country the safest in the world. The second factor that makes Iceland the safest is militarism, which is the
