Thera‚ the volcanic caldera in Greece that violently erupted 3500 years ago spawning the myth of Atlantis‚ and wiping out most of the Minoan civilization‚ is deforming. Scientists suggest that this caldera‚ a crater-like volcano that has collapsed in the past‚ may erupt again‚ making the people of the island vulnerable. The deformation could cause many disasters such as tsunamis‚ earthquakes‚ and obviously eruptions. Scientists argue whether the volcanic caldera unrest is actually a threat to the

What causes a volcanic eruption? When a part of the earth’s upper mantle or lower crust melts‚ magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption‚ three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma‚ the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. What follows is a brief description

CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust. Despite the absence of volcanic activity‚ these

Plate Tectonics: An Essay By: Grace Park Science 9 Mr. Achor 11-22-11 In the early 1900’s‚ scientists began to ask questions about the earth and it’s continents. Why are the same fossils found on opposite sides of the globe? Why do South America and Africa seem to fit together like two pieces of a jigsaw puzzle?
