of rock including sedimentary and metamorphic rock. Igneous rock is formed from the cooling and solidification of lava or magma. Igneous rock can be formed with our without crystallization‚ below the surface as intrusive rocks or on the surface as extrusive rocks. Volcanic rocks also known as extrusive igneous rocks include all the products resulting from volcanic eruptions of lava flows and fragmented debris called pyroclast. The other type of igneous rock would be plutonic rocks also called intrusive

Another important aspect from the outside reference source mentioned above is that Vesuvius is a stratovolcano. What is a stratovolcano or what does it consist of? According to our text‚ “stratovolcanoes are tall‚ steep cones built of layers of felsic lava and volcanic ash.

Finally‚ indicate and discuss those hazards that are a direct result of a volcanic eruption as well as those hazards that are indirectly linked. (Hint: think of indirectly associated” hazards as “side effects.”) Some of volcanic hazards include gases‚ lava and pyroclastic flows‚ landslides and earthquakes and explosive eruptions

The lava flows from the Galapagos chain‚ while similar to the Hawaiian‚ do not form a line which is unusual in most volcanic hotspots. When people normally think of a volcano‚ the image is of a Composite or Stratovolcano. Composite volcanos have a conical shape built up by layers of hardened lava‚ pumice and volcanic ash. Composite volcanos typically have steep sides and their eruptions‚ while they

Igneous Bedrock formed approximately 342 to 400 million years ago in the Carboniferous and Devonian Periods. Local environment previously dominated by eruptions of silica-poor magma. Eruptions of silica-poor magma. These rocks were formed from mobile magma‚ poor in silica. It rose to the surface and erupted as fluid lava from shallow-sided volcanoes and fissures. These eruptions are associated with the spreading

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A volcanic hazard is anything that can cause a threat to human life‚ infrastructure or nature as a result of volcanic activity. There are methods to lessen the effects of volcanic hazards to a certain extent through planning and preparation. Common volcanic hazards include: Pyroclastic flows‚ Ash clouds and mudslides. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot‚ dry rock fragments and hot gases

In most cases they are emphasized by their different forms such as reserves and parks‚ while in the other locations‚ they have been quarried away to meet the city’s demand for construction material. According to research‚ distributed over a 20km radius are approximately about 49 volcanoes

Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

Leisure activities that I took part in After the tour session with the guide‚ I decided to have some adventure. I got into a steam cave which is made from lava rocks. It made me feel relaxed. I stayed there for about 50min after which I went to the relaxing area. The lagoon was exemplary warm and I dozed off for a short while. I went to the in-water bar and was served with my favorite lemonade drink. One
