One of Maui’s most visible attractions is the Haleakala National Park. It is one of the most outstanding places to watch a sunrise. It’s a two hour drive up the very curvy and steep road to the top of Mt. Haleakala. It gets very cold and often gusty at the summit. The temperature drops 3º for every 1000 feet of elevation‚ so at the Haleakala Visitor Center’s 9‚740-foot elevation (where most people watch the sunrise) it’s about 30º colder than at sea level‚ temperatures are often in the 40-degree

similarly the sun’s light provides energy to green plants through photosynthesis. Although nature acts positively in many ways it also acts in a negatively. For example volcanoes release boiling hot magma that destroys land and causes deaths‚ in 1815 a volcano erupted in Indonesia which killed approximately 92‚000 people. Similarly this year there was an earthquake in Haiti on the 12th of January that had a magnitude of 7.0 and killed about 230‚000 people‚left 1‚000‚000 people homeless and had 52 aftershocks

Positive Effects of Volcanos Volcanic activity has many positive impacts on both the natural physical environment and on socio-economic activity. Positive impacts include the creation of new land‚ the creation of valuable natural minerals and ores‚ and the enhancement of countries’ tourism potential. Creation of new land: Volcanic activity can result in the creation of new land‚ when material from within the earth’s crust is ejected in the form of molten liquid‚ then cools and solidifies to created

‘The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people’ to what extent do you agree with this view?

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
