    Script For Mt St Helens

    Coupled with these episodes were hundreds of small bursts or explosions of gas and steam. Mt. St. Helens has had four major eruptions and lots of minor ones. Volcanoes erupt due to the pressure of the magma and earth, and then erupts if a plate moves. Here is an image of the volcano before and after the eruption in…

    With reference to two volcanic events that you have studied from contrasting areas of the world, compare the nature of the volcanic hazard and its impact.

    Mt St Helens went on to erupt in a Plinean style, spewing out ash and produce pyroclastic flows -currents of hot gas and ash. The magma burst out causing large pyroclastic flow flattening vegetation and buildings for over 230 square miles (600 km²). There were volcanic Mudflows- Due to collapse of northern side mixed with ice, snow and water. These flowed many miles down the Toutle and Cowlitz Rivers. This led to 3 million m³ of material being transported 7 miles (27 km) south into Columbia River by mudflows. The actual eruption itself lasted for roughly 9 hours, of which is released much gas, such as SiO2 and also over 4km³ of rock, gas and steam exploded from the northern side of the mountain. Ash which was thrown vertically into the atmosphere was found over 15km above ground level. The blast crater averaged about 8 miles (13 km) in radius. The Montserrat eruption was of a very similar nature and erupted into in a Plinean style. Huge pyroclastic flows were produced and also masses of ash reached the surrounding areas and left the capital, Portsmouth covered in meters of ash. The lava was spewed out at 600 mph.…

    Pompeii Research Paper

    Helens erupted. This eruption helped adjust historians’ idea of what happened to Mt. Vesuvius. Mount St. Helens experienced a pyroclastic flow causing the whole north side of the volcano to collapse. This event was extremely similar to the definition that Pliny the Younger provided to Mt. Vesuvius back in 79CE. Since these two eruptions were so similar, historians went back and tested remains of Mt. Vesuvius’ eruption. After the examinations, they finally concluded that the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius was a pyroclastic flow. Pyroclastic flows are dense mixtures of hot, dry rock fragments and hot gas. The temperatures of these rocks are extremely hot enough to kill a…

    Why Pt. Thunder Is A Volcano

    The third event that can be expected when Mt. Thunder erupts is a pyroclastic flow. Pyroclastic flows are created when tephra fragments and volcanic gas flows down valleys on the flanks of volcanos. Pyroclastic flows are composed of extremely hot fluidized mixture of gas and rocky fragments that typically move faster than 100 miles per hour. These are the most deadly of all volcanic phenomena which can be seen when looking at the devastation a pyroclastic flow caused when it killed 28,000 people in the city of Saint-Pierre.…

    The Mauna Loa Volcano

    The Mauna Loa Volcano

    This is partly due to the fact that the volcano was covered in cloud at high elevation and helicopters were not in use; so, most of the information we have comes from what happened on Highway 11 during the eruption. In the months and years following the eruption, the vents and flows have been examined and mapped extensively, however. The eruption occurred along almost the entire length of the SW rift zone (from 8000 to 13,000 ft) and opened up almost simultaneously (like a zipper) from an essentially continuous vent system. Consequently, lava flows poured down at numerous places on both the west and east side of the rift. The eruption lasted only two weeks but the eruption of 1859 lasted almost a whole year. So, given that the flow volume is 4 to 5 times greater than the 1984 eruption (which lasted 3 weeks) it must have been a spectacular eruption. In places the flows were obviously very fluid and flowing rapidly, since they eroded the bases of prehistoric spatter cones during emplacement. It must have been coming downhill like gangbusters! The lava flow was compositionally very heterogeneous, with the upper part of the rift eruption evolved magmas (MgO 7 wt. %). Compositions became more primitive (MgO up to 10 wt. %) down rift. However, the lowest elevation flows were the somewhat more evolved (MgO 8 wt. %). The data are consistent with mixing of a relatively primitive magma with an evolved magma that may have been residing in the rift zone (this older magma has compositions very similar to the lava produced by the 1949 summit…

    Should Death Penalty Be Abolished In The United States?

    Has it ever occurred to you that in this country you can be executed for a crime you didn’t commit, even if the method of killing you is expensive and completely unconstitutional? The government believes that this is the correct way to punish those who have committed horrific crimes. Is this really the best option? I don’t think so. As a citizen of this country, this system of “justice” appals me. The death penalty should be abolished in the United States because it is unconstitutional, comes at a great cost, and is otherwise ineffective at carrying out its intended purpose.…

    Volcanos

    On March 10, 2011, I attended a campus wide experience that was showing a volcano documentary by Maurice and Katia Krafft. They were born and raised in France and would like to retire in Hawaii. They are writers, movie makers, and scientists. In 1988, they circled the globe 8 times to study the many volcanoes of the earth. They love to photograph the many shield volcanoes in Hawaii because they are constantly erupting. To them, their perfect paradise is described as a lava lake not a paradise with crystal clear waters and sunny skies. They were attracted to fire since Maurice was 8 and Katia was 14. They transformed their passion to a way of life.…
