Volcano

Geological and environmental circumstances that have an affect have been designated geohazards. There are many different categories of geohazards that can occur in the world. Some of these geohazards include landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes, lahars, and hydrothermal eruptions. These natural disasters can all have both short and long term effect on the surrounding environment. It is important to recognize the different kinds of geohazards and how to know if we can take preventive measures

Volcanology of Io Volcanos have played a colossal part in human history; mainly by destroying cities and killing the people in them. While Earth is volcanically active there are other locations that surpass it in activity. To find one of these places one must go through the Kuiper belt to the gas giant Jupiter. Jupiter, while the biggest planet in our solar system comes second to Saturn for the most amount of moons. There are sixty-three total moons and fifty-three of them have been officially

Life Before the Eruption The year was 79 A.D. The people of Pompeii were going about their daily lives, when suddenly, the entire top of the nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, exploded. Within days, the entire metropolis was buried under twenty feet of stones and ash as lethal gas filled the air, causing approximately 22,000 casualties. Because Pompeii was so well preserved by the stones and ash, it provides insight on what daily life in Pompeii was like. From the archeologists’ findings we can tell

help environments by adding nutrients and making the soil very rich. Volcanoes affect people by helping their crops grow and farms succeed. To begin, Volcanoes affect the environment in many ways. One way they affect the environment is, when the volcano erupts it produces rock and ash which later on make the surrounding soil very rich. According to the author of “Volcanic Soils” it states “Volcanic eruption produce deposits of rock and ash in the surrounding area. These deposits are rich in minerals…”

Payton Nerenberg period 5 1/28/2016 Mrs. Pase The Geography Of Greece Have you ever seen pictures of Greece travelled there in person? It is a beautiful area. There are tall mountains that protect their villages and that are fun to hike in. There is a beautiful ocean on the southern side that give great access to ports and provides great beaches. Greece has some bad things too. For example, it is prone to earthquakes. There are also active volcanoes that could erupt at any time. Overall, though

Geologists As a child, I relished in the days I spent playing outdoors. Whether it was digging in the dirt, collecting rocks, or catching frogs; the great outdoors was where I felt I could escape the monotony of everyday life. I recall spending my recesses digging into the side of a shallow dirt hill. With only a stick for a chisel, I would uncover the secrets the earth contained: fossils, precious gems, or forgotten artifacts. I later enjoyed learning about all the various types of rocks and minerals

asthenosphere. This is what causes mountains to shift or grow. This can affect when volcanoes erupt. Volcanos are located near tectonic plate boundaries, where plates either collide or separate. A volcano is a mountain built when magma rises from Earth's interior to the surface of the Earth.Volcanoes erupt when the pressure of the melted rock inside becomes so high that it blows through the solid surface of volcano. This explosion leads to many economic difficulties just like it did when Mount St. Helen exploded

1. In 1 million years I predict that Africa and South America will be farther away from each other. The earth is constantly changing and moving. That is why I believe in 1 million years that South America and Africa will be far, far apart. I know this because of plate movement. In the Geochronology map it shows that when plates spread a part which is a divergent boundary, then as magma heats and cools, new sea floor is created and the old sea is pushed out with the continents. This shows that the

a) ‘Ua is a region of Nage in south central Flores (Indonesia) located near the purported “cave” of the now extinct ‘ebu gogo’ wildmen. b) Julius Poi, an ‘Ua man born in 1922, provided the author with one of the clearest and most complete accounts of the ebu gogo that proved to be extremely representative of the communities understanding of this group (rather than radically unique). Poi explained that the ebu gogo were human-like in form, covered in hair, and possessed faces reminiscent of monkey

The first glimpses through the window provided by Nine North revealed a picture of a community rebuilding quickly, says Timothy Shank, a marine biologist at WHOI who collaborates with Lutz (see ‘The cycle of life’). (Oceanography: Death and rebirth in the deep) This is an amazing prospect and shows that after the bad effect of natural disasters in our oceans, the sea can rebuild itself. After the earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and death of a hydrothermal vent, the ocean will eventually correct
