people hear of Santorini‚ they think of the islands in Greece located in the beautiful waters of the Aegean sea. What many people do not know is that Santorini is in fact a scope of volcanoes‚ also known as shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are easily identifiable because they actually look like volcanoes (“Shield Volcanoes‚” 2016). I have actually had the pleasure of visiting Santorini a few years ago and I have included some pictures. Some of the things I have learned about this volcanic island is

Plate Tectonics‚ Earthquakes‚ and Volcanoes Renee Kuraly 1. There are 13 tectonic plates. (several smaller ones) 2. Evidence for continental drift includes: coastline fit‚ alignment of mountain ranges‚ similar rock sequences‚ fossils‚ modern fauna‚ and ancient climates. 3. We know plate boundaries exist because their defined by earthquake data and the depths of earthquakes show what type of boundary they are. 4. Divergent Boundary- places where plates are moving apart. Convergent Boundary-

Mt St Helens – Script Introduction of Theory From the deepest ocean trenches to the highest mountain rangers‚ plate tectonics explain all of the features from the past and present. A plate tectonic is a theory that was developed in the 1960s. According to the concept‚ Earth has a rigid layer called the lithosphere‚ which is normally 100km thick. The lithosphere is broken up into seven large continental and oceanic plates‚ six or seven medium sized regional plates‚ and various small ones. These

Allison Introduction My report is on Mt. Saint Helens. Before 1980‚ symmetrical Mt. Saint Helens was known as “Fujiyama of America.” (http://mountsthelens.com/history-1.html) Mt. Saint Helens erupted on May 18‚ 1980. It was one of the most deadly eruptions in America. Mt. Saint Helens height used to be 9‚677 ft making it the 5th highest peak in Washington. It’s height was reduced to 1‚300 ft after it exploded in 1980. Mt. Saint Helens is almost 53 km west of Mt. Adams and approximately 80 km Northeast

Mt. Nyiragongo is a very interesting and explosive volcano‚ even though it isn’t especially world renown. It is on the continent of Africa‚ near the Uganda and Rwanda border. Though it is near those borders‚ the volcano is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The latitude and longitude of Mt. Nyiragongo is 1.5167° S‚ 29.2500° E. Those are the introductory facts to exploring Mt. Nyiragongo; it is very much more than that though. Mt. Nyiragongo is a stratovolcano‚ a composite-cone volcano. It

Super volcanoes We are now in year 2016‚ and I believe that almost all people in the United State remember the disaster film called “2012”. The catastrophe included great eruptions of super volcanoes in America‚ such as Yellowstone. There are a lot of scientists doing researches of super volcanoes‚ and trying to predict when will the super volcanoes erupt again. Today I would like to introduce some knowledge of super volcanoes‚ and the reason why people do not need to worry about hazards of eruptions

chamber below the surface. On Earth‚ volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-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
