Currently‚ there are fifteen subduction-related volcanoes active along the Cascade chain. Before 1980‚ the last one to erupt was Mt. Lassen in California‚ in 1914. In the mid-1970’s scientists were concerned that Mt. Baker‚ in northern Washington‚ might be the site of the next volcanic eruption‚ based on increased activity on the volcano. However‚ in 1978‚ Dwight Crandell and Don Millineaux of the USGS suggested that Mt. St. Helens was potentially the most likely volcano to erupt in the twentieth

in to four basic groups. They are commonly known as Hawaiian‚ Strombolian‚ Vulcanian‚ and Peleean. The term of Hawaiian eruptions are named after the volcanoes in Hawaii. These volcanic eruptions are the least violent type. They produce highly fluid lava which flows quietly. This gradually builds up a shield volcano. Strombolian eruptions are named after Stromboli. These result from the constant release of gas from the magma. As the gas escapes‚ it produces tephra that piles up‚ turning into a cinder

in huge billowy plumes. Its dust and grime traveled nearly two hundred and fifty miles coving a good portion of the United States. The force of this massive volcano’s explosion was so powerful‚ that it collapsed in upon itself. This was known as the Lava Creek eruption and formed what we now know today as the Yellowstone Caldera and or as the Yellowstone super volcano. “The caldera is a volcanic crater some 40-by 25-miles large left behind when 240 cubic miles of debris ruptured out of the earth and

contribute to the ongoing examinations to monitor its impact to surrounding communities and environment. Mauna Loa is a shield volcano. These volcanoes are usually composed of basalt‚ which enables them to possess a gentle slope‚ fluid and pahoehoe lava. The fluidity nature allows the volcano to not be deadly (“Geologic Hazards”‚ n.d.). The volcano consists of tholeiitic basalt (“Mauna Loa Volcano”‚ n.d.). Some of oldest rocks in the structure are from 100‚000 to 200‚000 years ago (“Mauna Loa Earth’s”

Alaska is home to one of the most beautiful and tallest mountains in North America. Denali‚ previously known as Mt. Mckinley is the tallest peak in North America standing at 20‚320 feet(Denali). In relation to plate tectonics‚ the Pacific plate has been subducting underneath for millions of years. Therefore‚ causing land surfaces in Alaska to continually compress and fold. Due to the tectonic movement‚ this causes the mountain to be shifting upward. Denali is also surrounded by many glacier-clad
