Vesuvius and St. Helens are volcanoes‚ they both erupted . Nonetheless‚ these volcanoes did damage to land and loss of life. Some people even lived by these volcanos‚ it may awesome to live by a volcano‚ or it may be terrifying. Nonetheless‚ if you were to live by a volcano while it was erupting‚ the event would be terrifying from the tremors of a volcano‚ moreover‚ many years ago St. Helens erupted‚ the tremors were horrific‚ people who lived by this volcano were terrified they probably had to

through which burning hot molten rock and gases are released to the surface of the earth. The build-up of the ashes and lava flows (magma that has been released from the earth) that are released around the hole accumulate to create a volcano. These happen most often at "hot spots"‚ which are places along the edges of earth plates that are weak enough to allow the earth to vent hot lava. The study of movement at these plates that creates super geologic activity is called plate tectonics. Statement of

Location: Eyjafjallajökull is a volcano in Reykjavik‚ Iceland. It sits in the mid Atlantic ridge. It is where the Eurasian and north American tectonic plates meet‚ both move away from each other and split the island in two causing volcanic activity. The mountain is a stratovolcano‚ it is 1‚651 meters at it highest point and has a crater 3 kilometers in diameter. The city of Reykjavik has a population of around 120‚000 people. Causes: The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull was caused because the north

continuously erupting since 1774. However only 10 of these eruptions since Oct. 26 actually did some damage by effecting the weather or humans. When Yasur erupts often times what happens is Molten Rocks‚ Dust‚ Gas‚ Pyroclastic‚ Ash and most of all Lava shoots out. Mt Yasur was discovered by Captain James Cook‚ in 1774 he was out on his first European journey out to this island and apparently what attracted him was the firey glow of the explosion. Some interesting facts about Mt. Yasur is that it’s

two plates that are responsible for this are the Nubian and the Somalian plates. Considering this is an active volcano‚ it does produce slow moving magma. The volcano doesn’t have a huge eruption it is small and builds up in the crater and causes a lava lake. The volcano we modeled was relatively small. We were able to keep the volcano model small because of it. We used installation foam to form the volcano and the topography around it. Considering the area is a desert and has no vegetation

like tussock‚ is eroded by the wind leaving the plant isolated. Winds also distribute ash during eruptions. Since winds are usually westerly‚ ash deposits are the greatest east of the mountains. This also results in the area being prone to lahars and lava flows. On the east side of the mountain‚ lower rainfall and lack of vegetation makes the soils drier and easier for the wind to erode. The Chateau experiences 142 days of ground frost a year. The fall of temperature as altitude increases causes the

Activity 3: DIY Lava Lamps Students will understand density‚ chemical reactions and simple circuits by creating a nifty take home‚ reusable lava lamp. Set-up: Every student will need two LED lights‚ two coin batteries‚ and a water bottle. Keep the water‚ vegetable oil and food coloring at a communal table so that you can track the amount each student is using. Electrical tape can be distributed to the tables to share. Demo and discussion: Although building lava lamps seems like a lighthearted

(“The Minoan Eruption‚” 2004). It’s actually believed that this eruption may be the story behind the legend of the Lost City of Atlantis (Whipps‚ 2008). As scientists piece together the evidence of past eruptions‚ they have found that products such as lava and ash have been produced by this volcano. Other eruptive products include basalt‚ rhyolite‚ amphiboles (Friedrich et. al 1998). Although many people visit the area of Santorini‚ they are always at risk because it is still an active volcano‚ but
