Volcanic Landforms Volcano is essentially a fissure or vent (opening) which serves as an outlet for hot magma from beneath the Earth’s crust. The hot liquid magma coming out in the form of lava (most commonly molten basalt) is potential of shaping different landforms on earth crust. The most common landforms that are results of volcanic activity include cones‚ craters‚ calderas‚ domes etc. This article gives a description of these volcanic landforms.

is now known as the volcanic eruptions on the Greek island of Santorini‚ previously known as Thera‚ suggest that the estimated 1600 BC eruptions may be one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in human history.1 Conflicting beliefs of the timing of the event have been made. The debate of the traditional 1500 BC‚ and the earlier date emanate from the finding of an olive branch buried beneath lava‚ which radiocarbon dating has estimates is from 1627-1600 BC.2 The event produced widespread effects

“There is no such thing as Natural Good.” Discuss how far you agree. Many say that natural law means observable law relating to natural experience and also a body of unchanging moral principles regarded as a basis for all human conduct.

The ‘true value’ of a relationship can be interpreted in various ways‚ the idea of a positive romantic love and trust are aspects associated directly with this notion. Yet in some ways the true value of a relationship can be more in line with realism and imperfections‚ which both F. Scott Fitzgerald and Carol Ann Duffy explore. In ‘The Great Gatsby’ F. Scott Fitzgerald presents an illustration of the American dream and with this theme the idea of

Plate Tectonics Paper Michelle Tillman GLG/220 1/12/15 Jessica Terrien Dunn First and most important hazard is the ground actually shaking. This causes building to be damaged or the ground/foundation to settle different than it was. If the soil is liquefied then the building can actually sink into the ground. This can make the buildings also tip and lean. Los Angeles was built on a myriad of transform faults that include Santa Monica fault‚ the San Fernando fault‚ and Northridge/Santa Barbara fault

Evaluate the extent to which development across the lifespan can be explained by one theoretical perspective. Developmental psychology‚ as a discipline‚ is currently undergoing a paradigmatic/world view change. Consequently‚ several different theoretical approaches to the study of development and the life course have been proposed and advocated. The three primary approaches currently being debated include the structural‚ information processing/cognitive‚ and life-span developmental/developmental

“The Impact of a Tropical Storm depends on location” How far do you agree? Tropical storms formed 5-30 degrees north of the equator‚ so if there is a largely populated area or economic centre around this latitude‚ in an area vulnerable to hurricanes‚ the impact will be increased in comparison to the tropical storm running its course over unpopulated islands or the ocean. This can be seen when looking at Hurricane Sandy‚ a tropical storm of 2012 and its impact on Cuba. Cuba was located in the Hurricane’s
