The Lava Pit One time in Hawaii‚ in 1888‚ there was a small village just next to a little beach. Not far from the village‚ there was a huge “lava pit.” Scientists believed that it was just a volcano that had formed underground and only the opening at the top could be seen from the surface. The lava pit had always been filled with lava‚ and people wondered if it would ever erupt. For many years‚ tourists have visited Hawaii and come to see and take pictures of the lava pit.

This was one of the most tragic volcanic

plates act like a hard ridged shell (fig 2 plate tectonics) Some of the plate tectonics move very slowly each year for example in Iceland there is a visible line where the plates are moving if the plates merge together they can cause mountains and volcanos. Mountains and volcanoes are formed buy two plates colliding together and one plate gets pushed down into the earth while the other gets pushed up and creates a mountain range or volcanoes.(Figure 2 plate tectonics)

WRITE A TWO PAGE DISCUSSION ON VULCANICITY IN EAST AFRICA. SS/BSS/09/0069 11/24/2010 GEO 211 | Vulcanicity comprises of all the processes through which emissions of magma‚ rock fragments called pyroclaitics and gases are released through openings in the earth’s crust. Most volcanoes appear to be explosive in nature and produce more pyroclastics than lava. The common types of vulcanoes are shield‚ conical and composite volcanoes. Basically‚ vulanicity in Eastern Africa can be categorized into

Life is destroyed after a volcano. The eruptions cause hot lava to destroy the natural habitat of many animals and some people‚ causing the instability of the system. But after a while‚ when the system becomes stable again‚ life reappears. New organisms thrive in the changed habitat

Landforms are the physical features of the earth. They are described with particular attention to the contours of the land slope‚ elevation and morphology as well as the context in which the landform resides. For instance‚ landforms may be categorized based on how they are formed (such as by erosion) or what surrounds them (such as surrounded by water or mountains). Landforms are distinct from the biota (plant and animal life) that inhabit the ecosystems contained within the landform. Scale -
