This is spongey lava that is filled with gaps from magma gas bubbles. We also viewed the Fouque and Reck lava domes that were formed from the eruption of 1939-1940. The third point was the central twin crater of Nea Kameni and was formed in 1940 by 2 hydrothermal eruptions. The east rim of the crater had

Plate Tectonics Chart Amanda Wright GLG 150 February 24‚ 2013 Karen Hansen Plate Tectonics Chart 1) How does the motion of the tectonic plates affect the climate? Climate can be affected by many things. One of the biggest affects may be the motion of the tectonic plates. The Earths plates have been in motion approximately since its beginnings or shortly after‚ continuously causing climate to change. The Earth’s movement of plates as well as the apparent polar wandering can both play a role

Continental Drift‚ why True? Continental drift is the process of large mass of land and rocks unceasingly moving for a long period of time‚ which can be explained by what is called "Plate Tectonics". Due to the fact that continental drift is a theory‚ there is evidence and other sets of statements to back it up. According to Wegener‚ a geologist stated that segments of the Earth has made continental drift true (possible) whilst other pieces of information supported that continental drift has happened
