Volcano: City Of Los Angeles, California
The movie “Volcano” was about an active volcano forming into the city of Los Angeles, California.

The evaporating of harmful gases, earthquakes, and some evidences from the manhole are the manifestations showed that an underground volcano was forming under the city. This means that there was already lava under the city and the ground cannot take the pressure anymore so it formed a volcano.

The physical changes in the movie are the breaking of glasses from buildings, breaking of buildings, cracking of the ground, boiling of water from the pond, injured people, the melting of metal, and the falling down of some properties. The chemical changes are the burning of trees and people, formation of the volcano and its eruption, the ashfall,

    Now this is a story all about how two volcanoes erupted and destroyed three towns. This will take a while so just sit right there while I tell you all about the blast and the ash-filled air. On the west coast of Italy sat Pompeii, when August 24 advanced their way. No one was prepared for what happened that day. When the blast occurred, they all began to pray. When the sky began to fall, most of them tried to flee, but some of the others thought differently. The ones that remained were killed almost instantly. All of their deaths were caused by the ash and the burning hot air. Far into the future on Mount St. Helens, everything within eight miles turned into ruins. When an earthquake triggered the volcano that morning, nearly twenty-two hundred…

    In May 1980, following an earthquake Mount St. Helens erupted, triggering a massive landslide, which sent a plume of ash up into the sky so far that it scattered ash across a dozen states (Taylor, 2015.) When the volcano erupted, the north face of the volcano blew out spewing an avalanche of rock and debris up into the atmosphere. In addition to the previously mentioned effects of Mount St. Helens erupting, the blast also caused massive destruction to…

    As www.marinebio.net states, Wailea-Makena, Hawaii, East Maui County was caused by a hotspot or an extra hot plume of molten rock. This happens when heat rises as a thermal cloud from inside of the Earth. Heat and pressure at the bottom of the tectonic plate forces magma to form which then rises through cracks and erupts to form volcanoes. As volcanoes move away from a hotspot, they start to erode and become inactive. Maui is the third oldest volcano of the main Hawaiian islands and could still erupt one more time. Haleakalā or the East Maui Volcano is also a shield volcano or a broad, domed volcano with sloping sides. It forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Island of Maui and has an alert level of “normal.” The last time Maui erupted was in the 17th century, but even so, the soil is still very fertile from it’s past eruptions. Thanks to this fertile soil, crops such as coffee, macadamia, papaya, tropical flowers, sugar and fresh pineapple grow here.…

    The most recent eruptive period was in the 1980’s. Due to USGS (United States Geological Survey) geologists observations of a large bulge measuring 140m on the north face of the volcano. Using modern laser and radar technology they were able to track the movements of this bulge in order to predict when the volcano was in danger of erupting from a an observation tower 6 miles away. With this data collected the authorities were convinced to shut off the volcano to the local populations who make use of the volcano’s fertile soil for a large logging business and many recreational users who walk dogs or come to enjoy the views. As will be shown later, the shutting of the volcano saved many local thousands of tourists, workers and locals lives alone.…

    Scientist Ben Kennedy begun a very lengthy quest to solve the mystery of the shrinking pumice. This quest would eventually change the way scientists think about volcanoes-forever. One of the things (out of many) that he and his colleagues found out while on the road was that not only the rock was shrinking, the pores that make up the rock were shrinking as well. They think that this was due to the heating of the rock, and the molten rock's surface tension. What the scientist found was how some volcanoes function on the inside. In past years, volcanologists believed that flowing lava sinks back down and settles after an eruption, pressing on the magma below and crushing all of the bubbles, which makes pressure build up under the compacted lava. This leaves the lava sitting there...Until it explodes. Pow! This hints at why some volcanoes will go through cycles of flowing and explosive eruptions.…

    3. The information given to the viewer on the evidence of the coming volcanic activity seemed to be pretty accurately based on the knowledge of volcanoes presented in this course. The evidence included an increase in seismic activity/ earthquakes; caldera swelling and irregular growth; bulges above the caldera; vegetation death; and the release of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide. These symptoms have been present on and around volcanoes that have erupted in the past, and are…
