Jeju is a volcanic island; therefore‚ Halla Mountain‚ which is volcanic island is located in the center of the island. Halla Mountain is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO with two other tourist site‚ Seongsan llchulbong Peak‚ Geomunoreum Lava Tube System‚ of Jeju. The volcanic activity generated tremendous amount of basalt. People in Jeju used the basalt to create a symbol of Jeju‚ Dolhareubang (it means stone statue of old grandfathers). Moreover‚ Jeju is famous with its beach because

In 1991‚ a study in Science showed a massive and ancient lava flow in Siberia that was said to be precisely the greatest of extinctions 251 million years ago. The lava did not shoot out of the Earth like a giant volcano‚ but the molten rock passed slowly for thousands of years. There was excess of lava that it spreaded evenly. It would bury the surface of the Earth under 10 feet of magma. The second article states that “The researchers

Cassie grabbed them vigorously and pulled on to the bridge. “Just close your eyes and walk”‚ Cassie whispered briskly. As they were walking‚ Kendall opened her eyes and jumped horrifically in fear. The bridge split into half and the girls were hanging onto the rope like a chain‚ with hot‚ boiling lava firing up beneath them. Camilla and Kendall yelled anxiously

How does the theory of plate tectonics help to explain the world distribution of earthquake and volcanic zones? The Earth’s crust is made up of seven major plates and several smaller plates. These plates drift on top of the mantle. When two plates meet‚ they can either be constructive‚ destructive or conservative. At a conservative plate margin‚ one plate moves past another. As the plates are not smooth‚ great amounts of tension build up and earthquakes are made when the tension is released

The two volcanoes from these events are called stratovolcanos‚ meaning they are volcanoes built up of alternate layers of lava and ash(citation)‚ and cone shaped. Neither of these volcanoes are shield volcanoes‚ which are broad‚ domed volcanoes with gently sloping sides‚ characteristic of the eruption of fluid‚ basaltic lava(citation). Both of these volcano’s had a huge impacts on humans‚ human structures and property‚ and had very high damage costs. The major Mount St. Helens eruption was on

world. There are three types of volcanoes‚ they are shield volcano‚ cinder cone volcano and a composite volcano. A volcano is a place where ash‚ gases‚ and molten material rock from deep underground erupt to the surface. Lava comes out of a vent ‚ then it turns into a lava flow. When external waters‚ such as groundwater ‚ mixes with magma and then it turns into steam. The violence of an eruption depends on the amount of gas that was dissolved in the magma. Pyroclastics‚ form from when fragments

When basaltic lava flows they mostly have cracks on them caused by contraction forces‚ creating columns of harden lava which resembles the tessellation of regular hexagons. One of the most famous example‚ the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland. Tessellations can also found in daily life. For example‚ the tilings
