Volcanoes

Indonesia is a country that is described as having a beautiful scenery and is gorgeous place to live. This doesn’t mean that something with a beautiful scenery does not have any flaws that come with it. Indonesia consists of a group of islands located in Southeast Asia and is between the Indian and the Pacific Ocean. The proper language that is spoken is known as Indonesian or “Bahasa Indonesian”. This is the most common language that is spoken in Indonesia; but is not the only one that is used.

island. Mauna Loa is considered a “shield volcano” meaning its eruption are as violent as they could be, however because of its enormous size, it will still be a reckoning, like journalist James Cave says, “Of the five active volcanoes in Hawaii, only the Kilauea and Loihi volcanoes have been quietly erupting consistently for decades. But Mauna Loa is seen as the big threat there. What Kilauea erupts in one day, Mauna Loa has erupted in 20 minutes, as it did in 1984. It came way too close to destroying

The volcanoes heat up water percolating through the rocks and the dissolved minerals are carried to surrounding rocks. This kind of deposit represents the majority of world's copper supply (Mission, 2016). Mineral veins and pegmatite are formed once the magma

A trophic cascade is an ecological process which starts at the top of the food chain and falls all the way down to the bottom. The term explains the indirect control that a top predator has over species at lower trophic levels. In a trophic cascade, ecological processes that are caused by a change at the top of the food chain move down toward lower trophic levels and ultimately change the ecological relationships between different species. What happened to the numbers of small fish and krill as whales

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

Quito and is most known for superior cuisine. Major products of Ecuador include, but not exclusive, petroleum, coffee, beans, bananas, and cocoa. Adorning the coast are the beautiful beaches of Guayas, Canoa, and Esmeraldas, while inland are many volcanoes, the most popular of which is Volcan Cotopaxi. To add, the Galapagos Islands, home to "enchanted archipelago of fearless creatures" (National Geographic). Just south of Ecuador sits a much larger Peru. With a population of over 30 million citizens

multiple impacts did not only lead to the moon, but to the abundance of these two gases. Scientists have also discovered that the elements that are found in the lower mantles of volcanoes have an ancient chemistry from when the Earth was formed. These chemicals are very different from the elements in the upper mantles of volcanoes that we see in present

The geography of this island region is rugged and mountains with several volcanoes. The islands were formed by volcanoes and many of them have been active in the past 250 years. The islands and peninsula are on the ring of fire and a mountain range called the Aleutian Range. This volcanic past has made several of the coasts rise abruptly from the

1. Unit 1.0: Introduction to Geology Geology is the study of earth surface. Geology deals with the outdoors, which attracts most people. Geology deals with learning about the planets and satellites in the Solar System. 2. Unit 2.1: Mineralogy Mineralogy is a subject of geology. Mineralogy deals with the different properties of minerals. Mineralogy deals also with chemistry such as the structure of an atom. 3. Unit 2.2: Igneous Petrology Igneous petrology is basically one of the fields that deals

oceanic plate and a continental plate, the heavier oceanic plate will move under the lighter continental plate. Oceanic trenches can occur here. If two of the same meet, then they will both push one another upwards and form fold mountains. Both volcanoes and earthquakes occur here. Mars: Moons Mars has two moons called Phobos and Deimos, which are irregularly shaped and covered in craters. Phobos is the larger of the two, at about 28x22 km in diameter, whereas Deimos is only 10x16 km across. They
