that scientists and researchers possess the technology to observe and study events that happen on the depths of the ocean floor. This topic relates to the Geology 307 class in various ways. The first of which is plate tectonics. The eruptions of the volcano are a result of plates shifting causing magma to build under the ocean floor. Earthquakes also cause the volcanoes to erupt. Submarine volcanoes also affect the movement of sediment and plankton through the ocean. Submarine volcanism’s importance

________________________ Lab 1. Volcanic Hazards VOLCANOES INTRODUCTION Few things excite the imagination as much as a volcanic eruption‚ one of nature’s magnificent spectacles‚ which can result in devastating consequences. The very word “volcano” brings to mind thunderous explosions‚ rivers of fiery orange lava‚ and images of smoking destruction. The actual capacity for destruction is not overrated -- volcanic eruptions are one of the most devastating of all geologic hazards. There are

When the atmosphere gets polluted from carbon dioxide more radiation comes through and harms people. Earthquakes and volcanos affect the climate change. When the volcano erupts‚ the ashes from the cone come out and poisonous gases explode through the environment. Human influences also contribute to climate change by increasing in the CO2 levels. Carbon dioxide is greenhouse gas. That means

The area of the shield volcanos approximately covers 35.02 sq. miles or approximately 90.69 sq. kilometers. The reason this geological activity occurs is because the African and Aegean plates collide and the African plate subducts under the Aegean Plate (“Santorini‚ Greece”).
