plates. The plates move slowly on a layer called the asthenosphere. Meteorites can tell us what the earth is like-these are rock and metal fragments which fall to earth from space. We know the earth’s core is hot through hot spring geezers and volcano lava. 2 types of crust OCEANIC CRUST: it is found under the oceans; it’s thin and has a low density as it is made from an igneous rock called basalt. It is 6-8 km thick. CONTINENTAL CRUST: this forms the land‚ made from granite which is low density igneous

surface of the earth through a series of cracks. When it reaches the surface of the earth‚ we refer to it as lava. As layer upon layer of lava builds up‚ a volcano is formed. What affects the forming of volcanoes? There are many factors that determine what kind of lava flow will occur and what type of volcano it will be. The amount of gas trapped in the lava‚ the kinds of minerals making up the lava‚ and how much pressure can be trapped in the area all affect the eruption and formation of the volcano

Finally‚ indicate and discuss those hazards that are a direct result of a volcanic eruption as well as those hazards that are indirectly linked. (Hint: think of indirectly associated” hazards as “side effects.”) Some of volcanic hazards include gases‚ lava and pyroclastic flows‚ landslides and earthquakes and explosive eruptions

surface cracks. When a submarine volcano erupts the result is different -- and usually less dramatic -- than the eruption of a land volcano. Unless the volcano breaks sea level‚ upon an eruption lava immediately comes into contact with ocean water. The water acts to cool the lava and to transform the lava into a solid state as rubble or sand.

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? (40 marks) A volcanic hazard is anything that can cause a threat to human life‚ infrastructure or nature as a result of volcanic activity. There are methods to lessen the effects of volcanic hazards to a certain extent through planning and preparation. Common volcanic hazards include: Pyroclastic flows‚ Ash clouds and mudslides. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot‚ dry rock fragments and hot gases

Lucky Koritela #23 The Rock Cycle The rock cycle begins when Earth’s plates shift around leaving gaps in between them making a volcano. The magma under Earth’s crust come through the gap and spill out of the volcano. Then the magma (lava) cools down and hardens into igneous rock. As time passes the igneous rock weathers (using substances such as water) away into little chips. After getting smaller‚ erosion (using elements such as wind) transports the little rocks to different places. The deposition

Leisure activities that I took part in After the tour session with the guide‚ I decided to have some adventure. I got into a steam cave which is made from lava rocks. It made me feel relaxed. I stayed there for about 50min after which I went to the relaxing area. The lagoon was exemplary warm and I dozed off for a short while. I went to the in-water bar and was served with my favorite lemonade drink. One

The eruption was andesitic and very explosive‚ with lots of ash and lava being thrown into the air and lava covering parts of the island.
