Chile earthquake on May 22‚ 1960. About 38 hours after the mainshock‚ Puyehue-Cordón Caulle in Central Chile erupted violently after being inactive for more than 25 years. In this instance it is likely that the fault rupture extended beneath the volcano. There is also clear evidence that large‚

Natural Calamities A natural calamity is a major adverse event resulting from natural processes of‚ or effecting‚ the Earth; examples include floods‚ severe weather‚ volcanic eruptions‚ earthquakes‚ and other geologic processes. A natural calamity can cause loss of life or property damage‚ and typically leaves some economic damage in its wake‚ the severity of which depends on the affected population’s resilience‚ or ability to recover. A natural calamity are the side effects or the after effects

Avalanche An avalanche also called a snow slide or snow slip is a rapid flow of snow down a slope. Volcanic eruptions The volcanic eruption itself that may cause harm following the explosion of the volcano or the fall of rock. Second‚ lava may be produced during the eruption of a volcano. As it leaves the volcano‚ the lava destroys many buildings and plants it encounters. Hailstorms Hailstorms are falls of rain drops that arrive as ice‚ rather than melting before they hit the ground.

1. There are four eras of Earth’s history they are Precambrian (87.6%)‚ Paleozoic (7.1)%‚ Mesozoic (3.9 %)‚ and Cenozoic (1.4 %) 2. There are four layers and two sub layers. * Inner core is solid metal and made up of nickel and iron * Outer core is made of a liquid molten core of nickel and iron * Mantle is made up of dense and mostly solid silicate rock * Lithosphere is the uppermost layer (100km thick) * Asthenosphere is the layer below the

The magma has changed a great deal over the years. One example is the silica weight percent peaked at 100‚000 and 200‚000 years and was the lowest in the last eruption. This indicates that Hawaii might have had more felsic lavas and more explosive eruptions 100 and 200 thousand years ago than in 1959. The weight percent of K2O and Na2O of the lava has also fluctuated throughout the years.These changes are the result of the magma changing from andesite rich lava to more basalt rich over time. The

The Kobe earthquake shows that sometimes the wealthier countries can be just as badly affected. The Icelandic volcano‚ Ejajjallajokall‚ affected many people around the world‚ both wealthy and poor.

eruption began back in July 1990‚ when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck a region 100 km northeast of Pinatubo. This shook the earth’s crust beneath the volcano and caused a landslide‚ some local earthquakes and some small steam emissions too. The following year‚ sometime in March‚ villagers of Patal Pinto felt some earthquakes around the volcano. On the 2nd of April the villagers witnessed small explosions

What forms after volcano eruption and after magma cools? Igneous rock forms when superheated volcanic liquid‚ also called magma‚ cools and thus hardens through a process of crystallization in one of two manners: by cooling and crystallization on the Earth’s surface such as after a volcanic eruption; or by cooling more gradually through a process of rising as it cools through the magma while still below the Earth’s surface. Scientists further classify such rocks based on their mineral characteristics:
