rigid and more flat. There would be less mountains‚ if any‚ as well as volcanoes. 7.) Cavemen never saw dinosaurs because they came well after the dinosaur’s time or after the dinosaur’s evolution. Expanding Your Knowledge Questions: 2.) Crustal rocks are created both in the oceans and on land. The oceanic crustal rocks are created at the mid- ocean ridges and the continental crust is created by colliding plates and volcanoes. Earth does not get bigger because it is a never ending cycle of recycling

because the two plates are moved together. What happens at trenches is that the lithosphere is pulled into the asthenosphere. 5 volcanoes and mountains This type of plate collapse is a convergent boundary. When the plates crashes‚ it creates a hot spot in the center‚ which is the cause of the creation of mountains that come out of the oceans‚ which we call volcanoes.

Did you ever wonder what keeps you warm while in the living room with a lit chimney? Or what claims thousands or lives each year just by starting off as a tiny spark or match? That’s right‚ Fire‚ the Greek God Hephaestus is the god of fire‚ volcanoes‚ smiths‚ and craftsmen. Hephaestus was known to all the Greeks as the lame god for limping as he walked because he was thrown off Mount Olympus twice: once by his mother and later by his father.

Earth is the only planet in our solar system that sustains life‚ and therefore one of the most intriguing planets because of its capabilities. Each of the seven other planets that orbit the same sun as Earth is interesting in its own way. Some planets share similar characteristics to those found on Earth‚ while other planets are completely different. An analysis of these terrestrial bodies‚ using comparative planetology‚ will allow us examine these qualities. However‚ before beginning such a process

The magma‚ being light‚ is pushed up against the crust. As it tries to escape to the surface‚ it sometimes creates violent explosions. As it progressed‚ belt of volcanoes were formed on above the dominant plate. When the subduction occurred underwater‚ like when an oceanic plate descends beneath another oceanic plate‚ the belt of volcanoes formed results in island arcs. The Philippines is an assembly of several island arcs. The Philippine Island Arc System The territory of the Philippines is composed

incandescent lava spurts from the fissure on the volcanoes rift zone and feeds lava streams that flow down slope. the “Phreatic” type eruptions are driven by explosive exploding steam resulting from cold ground or surface water coming into contact with hot rock or magma. In this case no new magma is erupted‚ only the fragments of pre-existing solid rock from the volcanic conduit are blasted out. Though usually the eruptive activity of these volcanoes is weak‚ sometimes it can be very violent. the
