Tectonics of Indonesia Indonesia is situated between two tectonically active plates: Australian and Eurasian plate. It is important to understand the amount of fault motion between these plates, as it is the major source of influence regarding eruptions in the region. The result of these tectonically active plates is the creation of the Circum-Pacific belt (termed the Pacific Ring of Fire) and the Alpide Belt. Figure 3 provides a pictorial view of both plates and their relation to the Circum-Pacific
Millions of deaths. One reason-a volcanic eruption. How could one volcano kill so many people? The fumes and ashes that a volcano spits out can be ingested, killing many. Then the hot lava comes, killing more. This is a tragic way to die; however, it has happened several times in history in many different places. The Eruption of Mount Vesuvius was written by Pliny the Younger. He tells about his experiences leading up to his uncle’s death. Pliny explains the chain of events and how people reacted
Ectopic Eruption of Teeth, Pediatric An ectopic eruption is when a child's adult (permanent) tooth grows in (erupts) at an abnormal position. The permanent tooth may grow in front of or behind the child's baby (primary) teeth. The permanent tooth may also get stuck underneath a primary tooth and grow in crooked. Permanent teeth often erupt behind the front primary teeth (incisors). This usually does not need treatment. Other types of ectopic eruptions may need treatment to prevent other tooth
changing and disaster became inevitable. II.) According to Govt Geo. Studies a 5.1 Magnitude earthquake shook the landscape in Washington, causing Mount St. Helens to crumble and slabs of rock to collapse, which led to the infamous 1980 MT St. Helens eruption. A volcano once thought to be asleep and inactive had proved seismologists wrong. III.) I become interested in volcanoes and other natural disasters when I was working at a BSA summer camp, studying natural occurrences, rock studies and soil and
Dr. Richard Waitt inform us that the eruption on May 18, 1980 surprise scientists because they had a lot of data that they collected and that data didn’t indicated that an eruption was going to come on that day. When it blast in May 18, 1980, it destroyed everything in their path. For example, a total of 57 people were killed, thousands of deer, elk, bears, and other wildlife were killed, and the eruption had cut open a 2,000-foot-wide crater in the top. The landscape was unrecognizable by geologist
Helens eruption over 57 people died.Valcanic eruptions that cause death are not that rare. In 1812 over 92,000 people died from the Indonesian tambura volcano. The 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption included many details common to volcanic eruptions, and disasters and destruction to property and lives that were effected in the region, but the area has recovered in its after math. Some common details of a volcano are, a volcano is a mountain that opens up on top and goes down. In a volcanic eruption gas
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
Our new subject in World History was on the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Mount vesuvius was located in Pompeii, Rome, now located in the Gulf of Naples Campania, Italy. It was a very destructive volcano that erupted 79 AD, August 24. I was very excited to see this Volcano and the the only way I could go there was with my time traveling machine. In my backpack I put some clothes, textbooks , and tools. I couldn’t wait any longer from excitement so I entered in and clicked the commencement button
BOOM! The ghastly eruption buzzed in my ears as the arid and smothering smoke filled the atmosphere. My eyes jolted to the bricks, wood and furniture that shattered ubiquitously, as I started to wail like a lost child. I couldn’t – no – I wouldn’t stop crying. My cries were alternated with hiccups meaning that every time I’d grasp for air, nothing would prevail. It felt as if my lungs were being squeezed to death. It was excruciating. As I watched my house crumbled into a million pieces, my legs
