hiiiLava domes are built by slow eruptions of highly viscous lavas. They are sometimes formed within the crater of a previous volcanic eruption (as in Mount Saint Helens)‚ but can also form independently‚ as in the case of Lassen Peak. Like stratovolcanoes‚ they can produce violent‚ explosive eruptions‚ but their lavas generally do not flow far from the originating vent. Cryptodomes Cryptodomes are formed when viscous lava forces its way up and causes a bulge. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens

The range begins in the south at the Tehachapi Pass near Bakersfield and stretches north to Lake Almanor. The Sierra Nevada range is 400 miles long‚ north-to-south and has an average width of 70 miles wide. It was formed through subduction when the Pacific plate slid under the North American plate. The range is made up of deeply imbedded rock otherwise known as batholiths. The eastern slope of the mountains

Soils of the tropical savannas The soils of the tropical savannas‚ along with the distinctive wet/dry climate‚ are a major determinant of vegetation in the region‚ and of potential land uses. Soil is an outcome of five broad factors: parent material‚ climate‚ relief/slope‚ time and organisms. | Infertile soils Given the variations in all of these in the savannas it is no surprise that there are many different soil types in evidence in northern Australia. Generally speaking the combination of these
