Eruption

purest form is the open crowd. All crowds carry a dichotomy of fascination and attraction versus fear and repulsion, not unlike Rudolf Otto’s mysterium tremendum. The different crowds are characterized by their ways of discharge, destructiveness, and eruption (Canetti, 17-22). In a crowd, those who are engaged free themselves from societal constructions of difference such as class, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality, among other constructs. Dropping all notions of self, the engaged allow themselves

Climate change is an issue that is becoming more and more evident in today’s society. “Climate change is a variation in the unusual weather found in a place.’’ According to NASA researchers; People who study earth have noticed the Earth is getting warmer. “Earth’s temperature has increased by 1 degree Fahrenheit in the last one hundred years. This may not seem like much, but small changes in the Earth’s temperature can have big effects.” (NASA). After many researches, scientist have come to believe

The mass extinction of the dinosaurs happened approximately 65 million years ago and was Mass extinction of the Dinosaurs the most dramatic extinction in the history of the Earth. ( national geographic, 2015 ) The dinosaur extinction could have been sudden or gradual depending on the cause. Scientists have thoroughly researched and finally found two major options, the asteroid impact theory and the volcanic theory, that have many similar qualities, but on the other hand are very different. These

However, along with the dinosaurs there were many other creatures such as pterosaurs, ammonites and many flowering plants that were wiped out as well. It is said that a combination of dropping sea levels and flood basalt eruptions were one of the causes (Murcia, 2015). The proverbial final nail in the coffin was a meteorite strike, near the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico, which caused the most significant damage. This extinction event is also known as the K/T extinction (bbc

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

Out of the six islands that make up Hawaii, the island of Oahu is the third largest and second oldest. Oahu is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and plate at a latitude and longitude of 21.4389° N, 158.0001° W (Wikipedia, 2016). The island was created from the pacific plate hot spot, a still active intrusion of magma. A hot spot is a geological feature where hot magma from the inside of the earth leaks out onto the Earth’s crust through cracks in the lithosphere. Once the ejected magma

Earthquakes may be large or small, serious or trivial; however, the higher the magnitude, the greater the damage to a particular location and the surrounding area. Earthquakes can also create other natural disasters, like tsunamis and volcanic eruptions, which bring more dangerous disasters than earthquakes. Statistics of earthquakes can be extremely important for it can give governments plans to do rebuilding after earthquakes, can help scientists better detect and anticipate earthquakes, and can

mountains with the elevation changing all throughout the park, many trees, the hike trails, different wildlife, different plant life, noticeable landmarks, and the massive lake that made the national park famous. As previously mentioned, the volcanic eruption and collapse of Mount Mazama left a huge bowl shaped cardena. This resulted in the creation of a very large mountainous land area around what was once Mount Mazama. Thus, creating the 2,000 foot tall mountains that are currently around the lake in

Volcanic eruptions are a constant issue. There are around 50 -70 eruptions every year with some volcanoes erupting more than once. Around 35 people die every year from volcanic eruptions along with an average cost of damage of 98,992,000. I believe that with a little math that these numbers can go down. Issues with volcano causing so much death is more of the debris that comes out of it if we could estimate the distant that this debris could travel then we would simply need to change the areas that

What are the cons of monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes? There are many pros when it comes to monitoring earthquakes and volcanoes. But with many pros, come many cons. I’m going to talk to you about the cons. Scientists need to know when earthquakes are going happen and when volcanoes are going to erupt, but they cannot precisely predict when they are going to occur. That will lead to some problems. Spontaneously erupting/shaking is one problem. No matter what scientists’ predictions read, natural
