organisation and leadership skills. Because of the geological history of Cornwall‚ I have gained knowledge from just walking around a restored clay pit rich in geological features. Yellowstone super volcano is the focus of my EPQ‚ I chose the subject of volcanology because it’s my favourite part of all geological subjects. My EPQ not only focuses on the hazards of Yellowstone’s imminent eruption but also the the more practical side such as monitoring and planning for an eruption‚ this includes looking at hazard

below the surface. The word volcano is derived from the name of Volcano‚ a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan‚ the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called volcanology. Divergent plate boundaries: At the mid-oceanic ridges‚ two tectonic plates diverge from one another. New oceanic crust is being formed by hot molten rock slowly cooling and solidifying. The crust is very thin at mid-oceanic ridges due to the
Free Plate tectonics Volcano
A volcano is a rupture on the crust of a planetary mass object‚ such as the Earth‚ which allows hot lava‚ volcanic ash‚ and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Earth’s volcanoes occur because the planet’s crust is broken into 17 major‚ rigid tectonic plates that float on a hotter‚ softer layer in the Earth’s mantle.[1] Therefore‚ on Earth‚ volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. For example‚ a mid-oceanic ridge‚ such as the Mid-Atlantic

The Volcanic Eruption of Nevado Del Ruiz Nevado Del Ruiz located in Central Colombia‚ is a broad‚ glacier covered volcano. A relatively small eruption caused a devastating mud flow that killed almost 25‚000 people in the town of Armero‚ marking one of the worst volcanic disasters in history. Sadly‚ this tragedy could have been easily avoided if clear warnings by volcanologists had been taken seriously. On November 13‚ 1985‚ Nevado Del Ruiz erupted and created a lahar.
