The Iceland hotspot and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge go right through Iceland. This is an essay about how tectonic activity and how it comes to form Iceland. Location Iceland is an island between the Greenland Sea and the Northern Atlantic Ocean‚ northwest of the United Kingdom Iceland is situated right in the North Atlantic Ocean. Iceland

ZXCSACZXC\XCZCZXCZ\XCZXCXZC\ZCCZXDuring a volcanic eruption‚ lava‚ tephra (ash‚ lapilli‚ volcanic bombs and blocks)‚ and various gases are expelled from a volcanic vent or fissure. Several types of volcanic eruptions have been distinguished by volcanologists. These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of behavior has been observed. Some volcanoes may exhibit only one characteristic type of eruption during a period of activity‚ while others may display an entire sequence of types

erupts. Collision zone When 2 continental plates collide. Neither plate is forced under the other‚ nor so both are forced up and form fold mountains. Composite volcano Composite volcanoes are made up of alternating layers of lava and ash (other volcanoes just consist of lava). They are usually found at destructive or compressional boundaries. Cone They are the build-up of rock from the volcanic vent; it piles up in the shape of a cone with a central crater. Conservative plate boundary a plate boundary

More prominent is the landscape of the igneous rocks. The basaltic lavas form the major upland hills‚ predominant being the Pentlands‚ Ochils‚ Sidlaws‚ Campsies and Kilsyth Hills. (Ref 1 P.64‚Midland

Traino and Livia were running down the street to the theater‚ then Mount Vesuvius started to rumble‚ the sky was turning black‚ by the smoke and the birds were heading the wrong way. They ran straight to the boats and hopped in one‚ they soon fell asleep. Tranio and Livia woke up on the boat and the sky was still black. They saw that they were headed straight toward Mount Vesuvius‚ they were starting to get scared. It was starting to get a little lighter‚ the boat stopped‚ at the bay of Mount

civilization‚ while the earth was still being developed its apocalyptic surface consisted of nothing but molten rock and volcanic eruptions were a common occurrence; it was literally hell on Earth. No life‚ no oceans‚ no nothing just a sphere of fire and lava‚ but look at Earth today; a gorgeous blue fills all of the sky along with vast vivacious oceans containing all sorts of remarkable creatures. These “geological monsters” are actually capable of producing beautiful habitual islands such as Iceland

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of a volcanic hazard (40 marks) Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe therefore bringing hazards to every affected area. A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards

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. Volcanoes also make sound
