With no immediate precursors‚ a magnitude 5.1 earthquake occurred and was accompanied by a rapid series of events. Mount St. Helens produces small to large explosive eruptions‚ which send varying quantities of ash and tephra into the atmosphere Tephra (rock fragments and particles ejected by a volcanic eruption

Precambrian time‚period of time that reaches out from around 4.6 billion years back to the start of the Cambrian Period‚ 541 million years prior. The Precambrian speaks to more than 80 percent of the aggregate geologic record. All life-structures were for quite some time expected to have begun in the Cambrian‚ and consequently all prior rocks were gathered together into the Precambrian. Albeit numerous fluctuated types of life developed and were safeguarded widely as fossil stays in Cambrian sedimentary

A metamorphic Rock can be formed by simply being under the earth’s surface‚ being exposed to extremely high temperatures and a huge amount of pressure from the layers of rock above. These rocks can be formed by tectonic processes‚ some which include‚ continental collisions (this is a process that causes friction‚ distortion and horizontal pressure). These rocks can also be formed when rock becomes heated rapidly by the intrusion of a hot molten rock‚ (called magma) and it comes from the earth’s interior

The Volcanic Eruption of Nevado Del Ruiz Nevado Del Ruiz located in Central Colombia‚ is a broad‚ glacier covered volcano. A relatively small eruption caused a devastating mud flow that killed almost 25‚000 people in the town of Armero‚ marking one of the worst volcanic disasters in history. Sadly‚ this tragedy could have been easily avoided if clear warnings by volcanologists had been taken seriously. On November 13‚ 1985‚ Nevado Del Ruiz erupted and created a lahar. Surprisingly‚ not all the

INTRODUCTION: The Ring of fire (figure 1) is a horse shoe shaped fault line. This fault line is prone to Earth quakes and volcanic eruptions. The ring of fire Is home to 452 volcanoes and 75% of the worlds dormant and active volcanoes live on the Ring. PLATE TECTONICS Plate tectonics is a theory that the earth is split up in to different areas of the world. They glide on the mantle of the earth the plates act like a hard ridged shell (fig 2 plate tectonics) Some of the plate tectonics move very
