Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius‚ A.D. 79 The Eruption of Mt. Vesuvius is one of the greatest volcanic eruptions in the past. Since I live in the Midwest‚ we don’t experience volcanic activity‚ which is why they interest me. The A.D. 79 upsurge of Mt. Vesuvius included many details common to Pompeii and caused harm & destruction to property and lives that affected the region‚ but has improved in the aftermath. On August 24th‚ A.D. 79 the residents of Pompeii were hit with something that actually was expected

During the past 4‚000 years‚ Mount St. Helens has erupted more frequently than any other volcano in the Cascade Range. Volcanic mudflows filled rivers with rocks‚ sand‚ and mud‚ damaging 27 bridges. Over the course of 17 episodes‚ lava eruptions began filling the crater‚ building a lava dome that reached 876 feet above the crater floor. 5. This project taught me a lot about

I. Temperature Measurement 1. A thermometric property is a physical property that changes in a known way with temperature‚ and can therefore be used to measure temperature. The substance used as a thermometer must have a property that varies proportionally / linearly with temperature. [ In other words: When objects are heated or cooled‚ their temperatures change‚ along with some of their properties‚ these properties are known as Thermometric Properties.] Two commonly used thermometric properties

Others lie between mountains‚ formed in response to the collision of sections of Earth’s crust. Still others formed as a result of many lava flows that spread out over hundreds of thousands of square miles‚ building up the land surface. These latter plateaus are known as lava or basalt plateaus (basalt is the dark‚ dense volcanic rock that forms these particular lava flows). Some plateaus can form simply when the side of a land region is weathered away through erosion (the gradual wearing away of Earth

part of Nea Kamini. It was created in 1570 and over time has developed rudimentary soil. The second point was on the south rim of the great Daphni crater. The crater is made up of scoriaceous lava. This is spongey lava that is filled with gaps from magma gas bubbles. We also viewed the Fouque and Reck lava domes that were formed from the eruption of 1939-1940. The third point was the central twin crater of Nea Kameni and was formed in 1940 by 2 hydrothermal eruptions. The east rim of the crater

I visited the Lindgren gallery and observed the works there. The gallery is a hall way area with paintings‚ shirts‚ and shirt designs. The artist‚ Kimberly Chai‚ is originally from Hawaii‚ and many of her works reflect as aspect of Hawaiian culture. Even before looking at the artist and the topic of her works‚ I could easily tell that her work was Hawaiian. Being from Hawaii as well‚ I really felt a sense of home when I looked at the work here. Of all her work‚ I enjoyed her Stolen Hibiscus‚ Reflections

This term used for the first in 1912 by a man known to be Patrick Marshall of New Zealand. The andesite line is located in the Pacific
