10‚000 years ago. Mount Fuji is a symbol of Japan and it’s a inspirational modern art. Mount Fuji has made an impact on people and wildlife. This volcano is was formed from repeated lava. Mount Fuji is an active stratovolcano made up of 2 other volcanoes.

Earth’s crust that float on the mantle. These plates are constantly moving and may crash into each other or slide or move apart from each other. Continental Plate: Large sections of the surface of the Earth that move separately. Shield Volcano: Volcanoes formed by viscous lava and have broad and flat sides. This happens due to the lava cooling slowly which lets it spread widely before cooling. Magma: Molten or partly molten rock underneath the Earth’s surface. Seismic Activity: Release of energy

Mount Etna Sicily ’s greatest natural attraction is also its highest mountain. To the ancient Greeks‚ Mount Etna was the realm of Vulcan‚ god of fire‚ and the home of the one-eyed monster known as the Cyclops. At approximately 3350 meters‚ it is Europe ’s highest active volcano. The height of its summit changes with each eruption‚ and over the centuries a few lava flows have reached the coast. Over 1200 square meters of Etna ’s surface is covered with solidified lava. Etna offers skiing in

BOT 450 TR 10:30-11:20 Volcanoes are magnificent formations from an opening in a planet’s crust. They form when magma‚ volcanic ash‚ and gases escape from a magma chamber below the surface of the planet. Tectonic plates cover the surface of the planet and are constantly moving. Volcanoes are generally found where these plates converge or diverge. Not only are volcanoes found in these areas but also where the Earth’s crust is stretching or thinning. There are volcanoes that form away from plate

chamberbelow the surface. On Earth‚ volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. Amid-oceanic ridge‚ for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast‚ volcanoes are not usually created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching

many differences between the two volcanoes and their eruptions they also have a lot in common. These are some ways they are alike and different. Both volcanoes have a lot in common. For example‚ there both stratovolcanoes. A stratovolcano is one of the deadliest type of volcanoes because they make toxic gasses and also make pyroclastic flow. Also‚ both volcanoes preceded by tremors‚which are small earthquakes . Also‚ they both had giant ash clouds over the two volcanoes when they erupted.In addition

Most people are unfamiliar with the positives of Volcanoes. Volcanoes do cause destruction to people’s houses (and other things) but‚ the ash‚ rocks‚ lava‚ etc. improves the landscapes and the environment. It also makes great soil for farming‚ crops‚ and tilling. They are improving the natural scenery of the land and creating food and work for the people. The volcanoes affect the land in a good way because it is helping to improve our environment/earth. Nowadays‚ people don’t see difference

sudden and violent shaking of the ground because of released energy‚ and sometimes it causes great destruction and casualties. When it happens‚ everything that it crosses is destroyed. Therefore‚ there are three effects of earthquakes : tsunamis‚ volcanoes‚ and landslides. The first effect is tsunamis that are very dangerous. According to James‚ when an earthquake happens‚ the crustal motion can directly cause a tsunami. Also‚ tsunamis can move enormous distances at 300-600 mph with a little

main cause of volcanoes and earthquakes Earthquakes occur in many regions all over the world in some regions they occur more frequently and severely than in others (depending on the location)‚ the main cause of earthquakes is tectonic plates grinding against each other ‚ therefore earthquakes occur more frequently and more severely in these regions ‚ less commonly earthquakes are caused by volcanic activity in this case they either proceed or ac company eruptions .

Me and My Volcano Volcanoes exist all around the world. They can be very dangerous or unharmful. Some may seem unharmful because of their appearance‚ but they really are harmful to humans and wildlife. Volcanoes occur when two tectonic plates collide or‚ when there is a hot spot in the crust and constructive forces build a volcano. There are two types of volcanic flows pyroclastic and mud flows. Pyroclastic volcanoes occur when the amount of magma in the chamber collects and the pressure
