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
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
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
basis in fact or visual evidence. If you know why something happens it will be easier to predict future plate tectonic movement by looking for 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.
Hawaii is a melting pot of multi-ethnic cultural societies, various landscapes such as beaches and volcanoes, and unique food like no other. I know what you all may be thinking: “why Hawaii?” Well, I can tell you out of personal experience of being there that it definitely had its share of pros and cons. Hawaii definitely should be considered a vacation opportunity on your bucket list and I am here to provide you reasons to why you should go and experience this wonderful island. I. The reason
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
Earthquakes Throughout history, man has made many advancements. These advancements have been made to make life easier. The one thing man can't do is to control Mother Nature. Mother Nature can cause many things such as earthquakes. The causes of earthquakes have been theorized in many ways. According to the book Predicting Earthquakes by Gregory Vogt, the Greeks, "blamed the earthquakes on Poseidon, god of the sea"(25). The Hindu believed that "the earth was a platform that rested on the
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
took place during the late 1970’s. My mother explained to me how socially accepted it was to feed the countries soldiers who passed by, this became part of their culture to do so now as explained by Every Culture (2017). Some women stayed home to look after their children, sow, and cook. Other women chose to arm themselves and become militants as well. It became accepted to see both women and children join the troops during those chaotic times. In 1979 to 1981, an estimated 30,000 people were
Rachel Lotan talks about five specific design features that can help students’ academic and social growth close the achievement gap while working in group settings. There can be so many problems while working in groups, so in order for them to work and be effective, teachers must fully understand how to create learning tasks that are “group-worthy.” The first design feature she talks about it having the learning tasks be open-ended and require complex problem solving. There are two kinds of tasks
