Review questions 1-10 Pages 146-147 1. Describe the three different kinds of material that can erupt from a volcano. Products of eruption come in three forms; lave flow‚ which can be Basaltic‚ Andesitic or Rhyolitic lava. A volcano also erupts pyroclastic debris (when lava flies into the air and freezes) and gases. 2. Contrast a pyroclastic flow with a lahar. Pyroglastic debris are blasting clots of lava‚ and the lahar are like mudslides that can reach up to 50km per hour. When the

Austronesian Migration Theory propounds on the expansion of a group of people called the Austronesians from Asia into the Pacific by means of Taiwan 6‚000 years ago. It was a theory proposed by Peter Bellwood a professor of Archeology. The theory largely explains the similarities in culture‚ language and physical attributes in different countries in the most Asian countries. The Austronesian migrations began from the Chinese mainland‚ reaching Taiwan first in 3500 BC then the Philippines by 3000

"What’s Going Down in Geology" "What happened to the Big Marsupials of Australia‚ what does that have to do with the simultaneous rise and fall of the Sierra Nevada?" was the question on Thursday‚ in room Science-422. Geology instructor Roger Chambers went on to ask: "What’s your favorite Marsupial?" to break the ice and show how little we‚ the audience‚ actually knew about them. I personally was not aware that Australia was a devastated ecosystem built around them. He‚ like many experts believes
