punished. Hephaestus was mad‚ he had already been thrown off Olympus for being ugly‚ now he was yet again blamed for something out of his control. Hephaestus didn’t realize that his anger had vented down to earth‚ mountains were exploding and pouring out lava‚ thankfully out of range of causing any harm. He had created the first volcano. Regardless‚ Zeus was furious‚ he ordered Hephaestus to clean up the disaster. Hephaestus had no choice but to listen‚ unless he wanted to face Zeus’s wrath. The fire was

We have many questions about this project. I don’t want to spoil it to you right now though. We have three questions we are interested in. Our questions are: Does

Also‚ with the surface as liquid-like as it is‚ its surface is constantly refilling all impact craters with molten lava. This lava ’s contents are not exactly discovered yet‚ but scientists are led to the belief that it contains sulfur

These craters range in size up to many hundreds of kilometers‚ but the most enormous craters have been flooded by lava‚ and only parts of the outline are visible. The total area of the moon is 37 930 000 square kilometers. One of these craters found‚ is the Alfrancus C. It has a maximum diameter of 10 km and a maximum radius of 5km.

mantle is hotter than average causing ‘mantle plumes’ to rise to the bottom of the lithosphere‚ find a thin or weak part of the lithosphere‚ and breaks through. In the case of the Hawaiian islands‚ the hotspot is underneath an oceanic plate and the lava has built up until it is higher than the surface of the sea. These hotspots remain in the same place in relation to the mantle‚ but the plates move across the hotspots. The Pacific plate has moved across a hotspot in the ocean leaving the chain of

What is a hazard- volcanic hazards include tephra‚ lava‚ pyroclastic flows‚ volcanic bombs and seismic hazards include earthquake‚ tsunami‚ liquefaction‚ landslides 2.

Mount Vesuvius is a composite volcano. This type of volcano has many layers of lava and ash. There are two kinds of eruptions. A composite volcano like Vesuvius will erupt with two kinds of eruptions‚ but never at the same

the earth’s core. As the convection currents move the plates away from each other‚ there is a weaker zone in the crust and an increase in heat near the surface. The hotter‚ expanded crust forms a ridge. Magma rises up from the mantle in the gap. The lava cools‚ solidifies and forms a chain of volcanic mountains thousands of miles long down the middle of the ocean eg. Atlantic. There are transform faults at right angles to the ridge. The movement of these faults causes rift valleys to occur. Examples

What causes a volcanic eruption? When a part of the earth’s upper mantle or lower crust melts‚ magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption‚ three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma‚ the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. What follows is a brief description
