All of a sudden, Norval swooped the air cab down like an eagle. He almost skidded along a warm crater lake where the groundwater and magma mixed to produce a psychedelic array of vivid yellows, neon greens, and fluorescent pinks. Occasionally, sulfuric gas belched up from the bubbles that ruptured on the crater’s surface. Steam hissed through the fissures and clefts along the edge of the crater, which had red tinges from the iron deposits. “Those colors are from sulfur and iron oxide mainly

sedimentary, crystalline rocks to volcanic tephra and ash (Battaleb-Looie et al., 2012, Gaciri and Davies, 1993, Cordeiro et al., 2012). In volcanic towns, during the circulation of groundwater, fluoride usually escaped from devitrified lavas, dissolves within the rocks and transferred by fumaroles causing an increase in the water fluoride concentration (Oruc, 2008). People living in Turkish providence of Isparta utilise Egirdir and Golcuk Lake which is an active volcanic region. Their

Discovered in 1535, the Galapagos Islands have been a place of mystery and wonder for centuries. The Galapagos Islands are a group of volcanic islands located approximately 1000 kilometers west of the South American coast on the equator. Thirteen main islands make up the island chain, along with 6 smaller islands and numerous other islets, small rocks, and pinnacles, with a total land surface area of approximately 8,000 square kilometers. The islands are known for their unique species of countless

Some benefits of this thermal imaging is that it can actually see the heat of an object and these thermal imaging cameras are very useful to monitor volcanic activity. These cameras can pretty much expose the heat of lava and the sensors on a these thermal cameras can detect its heat signature which shows how much radiation it emits, it can detect this easily and safely from a far distance. Using a thermal UAV drone you can see flowing lava, the heat and the cool of the area, you can also see do

The project was to present how these ancient civilizations have impacted our new modern way of life, positively, and negatively. Borobudur which is located in Java, Indonesia, was a Hindu and Buddhist Temple, during the 9th to 14th century. It was also an Islam Temple during the 11th to 14th century. Built around 732 CE, this temple has helped define culture in Indonesia. Borobudur was decorated and deigned with Hindu and Buddhist art. The design of Borobudur is thought to be based on the 10 periods

The naysayers see nothing but risks when analyzing geoengineering. An article in Nature discusses the risks of injecting aerosols into the stratosphere to combat global warming and says they have been underestimated. (Keller, 2011) Some have proposed that adding fine particles and liquid droplets, which reflect heat, to the atmosphere could postpone the need for deep cuts to carbon emissions. But by modelling the economic effects of substituting aerosol injections for carbon cuts, the researchers

On Earthquakes An earthquake is a shaking or trembling of the crust of the earth caused by underground volcanic action or by the breaking and shifting of rock beneath the surface. The volcanic action and shifting rocks create strain which continues to build to a sudden release of pressure resulting in a shock wave. The vibrations produced in the crust can vary from barely noticeable to enormously destructive. Shock waves can be classified into two broad categories. Waves

height of 2218m (7277 feet), and is the highest point in the Nabro Volcanic Range. The Nabro volcano erupted on the 13th of June 2011 and the volcano had become dormant on the 3rd of June 2012, this was the first ever historically recorded eruption of Nabro volcano. Its eruption was a 4 on the VEI (Volcanic Eruption Index). Eyjafjallajökull volcano Eyjafjallajökull is located in Sudurland, Iceland and is apart of the East Volcanic Zone of Iceland. The Eyjafjallajökull volcano is a stratovolcano

Comparative Analysis of The Last Days of Pompeii The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. is one of the most infamous volcanic eruptions in history. During this explosion, the city of Pompeii was completely buried in roughly nine feet of volcanic pumice and ash. As an established city of Ancient Rome, the apparent destruction of Pompeii sent shockwaves throughout Italy and it is still of great fascination today. The tale of what happened has been adapted throughout history from the eye witness account
