News item 11 Volcanic eruptions There is increased danger of fresh mudflows from mount Araramo according to the latest reports from Anturia. Eruptions reached the height of 2.5 miles yesterday as the volcano entered its 11th week of violent activity‚ despite the volcanologists’ predictions that it was subsiding. Mount Araramo dormant for three centuries erupted for the first time this year on June the 9th with the strength of 20 megaton hydrogen bomb‚ that upheavals sent rocks and plumes of hot

In a typical day of a volcanologist‚ one analyse data collected by others and manipulate it with the use of a computer. On the other hand‚ a volcanologist may also expect to be outside hiking a dormant volcano‚ taking various notes‚ photos‚ sketches and sampling rocks and lava‚ all of which may be forwarded to those working in an office‚ for perhaps

In 1991‚ a study in Science showed a massive and ancient lava flow in Siberia that was said to be precisely the greatest of extinctions 251 million years ago. The lava did not shoot out of the Earth like a giant volcano‚ but the molten rock passed slowly for thousands of years. There was excess of lava that it spreaded evenly. It would bury the surface of the Earth under 10 feet of magma. The second article states that “The researchers arrived at the theory by tying

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. It can be said that it’s easier to predict an event than prevent it‚ however prediction does have a positive impact on the effects of a volcanic hazard. Firstly‚ the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored

theory. This helps to prove that the boundries themselves are actually present and is a very simple way of validating the theory itself. Furthermore the fact that only certain types of activity occur at different types of boundries such as sheild volcanos at converging plates helps to show that the movement of plates is different around the world and this can help to show which type of boundries are present and can be used to show interactions between plates. This once again despite being relevent

ENDOGENETIC PROCESS: The Endogenetic processes are the processes that shape the land by forces coming from within the earth (Endogenetic forces). There are 3 main Endogenetic processes: folding‚ faulting and volcanism. They take place mainly along the plate boundaries‚ which are the zones that lay on the edges of plates. These zones are weak. Endogenetic processes cause many major landform features. MOVEMENTS: The forces coming from within the earth cause two types of movements in the earth.
