Volcanoes

Volcanoes and Earthquakes are two of the most intriguing natural disasters that can occur on earth. Unlike hurricanes and tornadoes, they can awaken at almost any point in time throughout the year. These two natural disasters are also different from others because they occur on the layers of the earth itself. Volcanoes, while large to us, are actually small, conical patches of earth that spurt and ooze hot molten lava from the core, and can destroy areas of land triple their size. Earthquakes, on

land mass than Massachusetts this mountainous county is surrounded west by Guatemala and north by Honduras. Since their land is largely covered by volcanoes hence comes the nickname the Land of Volcanoes, also for the reason that they undergo frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity through the year. However not all their land is taken over by volcanoes, many of their forests have been cut down to be made into coffee plantation and to build homes. Coffee is one of Salvador’s main agricultural product

COTTER PLATE TECTONICS RELATIONS TO EARTH’S CRUST ___ By Sally Lynne INTRODUCTION There are many ways that Plate tectonics, earthquakes, and volcanoes are connected. The most reasonable way is the movements of the Earth 's crust. There are also many other plate tectonic related theories and studies that are connected with the earthquakes and volcanoes too. The Theory of the Continental Drift was made by Alfred Wegener and started to be more convincing when people heard about tectonic plates

Submarine volcanoes, mid-ocean ridges, and submarine canyons are all grouped into the marine geology systems. Underwater structures can actually be pretty useful to marine geologists, in 1930 studies found the seafloor to have all of the same physical features on land like mountains, volcanoes, canyons and more. The seafloor is estimated to be less than 2,000,000 year old, being a lot younger than landforms. The ‘age’ difference of the two makes marine geologists’ work a lot more fun to compare in

January 18, 2017, New England’s 1816 “Mackerel Year,” Volcanoes and Climate Change Today     https://www.usgs.gov/news/new-england-s-1816-mackerel-year-volcanoes-and-climate-change-today     A study was regulated by the USGS in regards to the large catches of mackerel by fishermen, a volcano eruption at Indonesia’s Mt. Tambora and climate change. The article explains that the eruption that occurred at Mt. Tambora over 200 years ago and the effects that it left at the Gulf of Maine that intertwined

Volcanoes Volcanoes are a big mound that erupts and spews out lava, when it erupts the lava flows down the side of the volcano and when it cools down it turns to rock. As it erupts rocks fly out and can cause a huge amount of damage and quite often kill people. When volcanoes erupt they create a large ash cloud. There are three main types of volcanoes, these are Cinder Cone, Shield and Composite volcanoes. Cinder Cone Cinder Cone Volcanoes are small, hill-sized volcanoes that range

is a volcano? Volcanoes are great examples of the fiery power contained deep inside the Earth. These formations are essentially vents on the Earth 's surface where magma, debris, and gasses from the planet 's interior are expelled. Where can you find volcanoes? Volcanoes usually exist along the edges of tectonic plates (massive rock slabs that make up Earth 's surface). About 90% of all volcanoes exist within the Ring of Fire along the edge of the Pacific Ocean. About 1,900 volcanoes on Earth are

Introduction- Hawaii, a U.S. state, is a home to one of the most active volcanoes in the Central Pacific. Hawaii, 2,397 miles west-south of San Francisco, is a 1,523-mile chain of islands and the eight main islands, Hawaii, Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. The population of Honolulu is 1.42 million people and gets over 7,998,815 tourists a year. Hawaii consists of different environmental areas from the tropics to beaches with different colour sands that are unique, cliffs

Volcanoes have many different impacts on the Earth and to people living near them. Some of the ways that volcanoes impact the Earth is that they make the soil rich, they can also cause volcanic fields and they make places that have them an accretion stop for tourists at national parks. To begin, volcanoes can help with growing crops. The way they help growing crops is that they cause the soil to become rich with nutrients. According to the informational article, “ Volcanic Soils” the author

words, twenty volcanoes are erupting. Twenty of these petite, or mammoth like beast that unearth magma are going off as you read these words! “How are these erupting volcanoes affecting the people and environment around it?” Well to begin, volcanoes have provided us with rich soils that allow the people of the area to grow crops, also allowing other plants to naturally grow nice and vigorous. Another stirring question is “How do volcanoes affect people?” Going into more detail, volcanoes have provided
