major sources of income on this island. How it was formed‚ the Tectonic Plates Involved and What Type of Volcano is it? Mt Etna is a stratovolcano ( another name is a composite cone) which means that multiple layers of ash and solidified lava have formed this volcano. Mount Etna is formed on a convergent plate boundary‚ on two of the world’s active continental plates- the African and The Eurasian Plate. The Eurasian and African plates are moving past each other along most of the boundary‚ making it

1. Summarize advances over time in determining the age of the Earth‚ including the importance of the discovery or radioactivity. Herodotus counted layers of earth near the Nile River in 450 B.C.E. The Bible was used in the Middle Ages to compute the age of the Earth. The 18th and 19th centuries brought a more scientific look into determining the age of the Earth by studying the salinities of the oceans‚ the rates of sedimentation‚ and models of cooling of different materials in order to calculate

The Gros Morne National Park is world renowned for being one of the few places on earth in which geologists can studied the upper mantle directly! It also illustrates the concept of plate tectonics‚ the evolution of ancient mountain ranges and justifying why Canada has the most diverse land formations on the planet. The National Park was designated by the UNESCO (the United Nations education‚ scientific and cultural organization) as a world

earth as well covering very wide areas‚ often covering thousands of square kilometers‚ as well as convergent plate margins. The high pressure and temperatures are due to the process taking place at depths greater than 5 kilometers. Regional metamorphic rocks are almost always foliated and are formed under various degrees of differential stress caused by the tectonic forces and plate motions in combination with various settings of high pressures and temperatures.

History of Rock Worksheet Write a 500- to 750-word explanation regarding the role of plate tectonics in the origin of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks can come from two hot liquid like materials‚ which are lava and magma‚ these to substances are a lot alike‚ magma is what lava is before it is taken to the Earth’s surface by a volcano eruption. These substances being such a large part of the forming of Igneous rocks is where the rock gets its name‚ the word igneous comes from the word ignis‚ which
