Vesuvius rises to a height of 1277 m (4190 ft). Vesuvio (Vesuvius) is probably the most famous volcano on earth‚ and is one of the most dangerous. Mount Vesuvius is a strato-volcano consisting of a volcanic cone (Gran Cono) that was built within a summit caldera (Mount Somma). The Somma-Vesuvius complex has formed

1980‚ the last one to erupt was Mt. Lassen in California‚ in 1914. In the mid-1970’s scientists were concerned that Mt. Baker‚ in northern Washington‚ might be the site of the next volcanic eruption‚ based on increased activity on the volcano. However‚ in 1978‚ Dwight Crandell and Don Millineaux of the USGS suggested that Mt. St. Helens was potentially the most likely volcano to erupt in the twentieth century; based their evidence on the relatively young age of the volcano‚ and its frequent historical

improves the landscapes and the environment. It also makes great soil for farming‚ crops‚ and tilling. They are improving the natural scenery of the land and creating food and work for the people. The volcanoes affect the land in a good way because it is helping to improve our environment/earth.

largest volcano on our planet. Its long submarine flanks descend to the sea floor an additional 5 km‚ and the sea floor in turn is depressed by Mauna Loa’s great mass another 8 km. This makes the volcano’s summit about 17 km (56‚000 ft) above its base! The enormous volcano covers half of the Island of Hawaii and by itself amounts to about 85 percent of all the other Hawaiian Islands combined. Now let’s get to finding out about lava. Although‚ it is a little terrifying having an active volcano next

Me and My Volcano Volcanoes exist all around the world. They can be very dangerous or unharmful. Some may seem unharmful because of their appearance‚ but they really are harmful to humans and wildlife. Volcanoes occur when two tectonic plates collide or‚ when there is a hot spot in the crust and constructive forces build a volcano. There are two types of volcanic flows pyroclastic and mud flows. Pyroclastic volcanoes occur when the amount of magma in the chamber collects and the pressure

Santa Maria Volcano Santa Maria’s first recorded eruption was in 1902‚ it was dormant for at least 500-1000 years before that. When it awoke‚ it caused seismic swarm activation in many volcanos in the region. There was also a major earthquake along with the many eruptions. The eruption tore most of the south western part of the volcano off and around 5‚000 people were killed as a result of it. The volcanic ash fell as far as San Francisco‚ which is 2‚996.8 miles from Santa Maria. The volcano didn’t calm

Living near Hawaii’s volcano‚ Kilauea‚ is not worth the risk because of the uncertainty of the volcano erupting once again. In the article‚ “A force of nature‚” there are many dangers that can occur. The gasses emitted from the volcano is toxic‚ these toxic gasses could affect people’s health in major ways. One way that people’s health can get affected by the volcano is‚ when the gases are released into the air‚ the gases in the air can be inhaled. These gases can harm a human body in major ways

The volcano we modeled was Erta Ale. Erta Ale is a active shield volcano. This volcano is located in Ethopia on the continent Africa. This volcano is on two divergent plates. It is the Afar rift that is causing the volcano to continue to be active today. The two plates that are responsible for this are the Nubian and the Somalian plates. Considering this is an active volcano‚ it does produce slow moving magma. The volcano doesn’t have a huge eruption it is small and builds up in the crater and causes

With regard to contemporary art‚ it is hard to determine what is pleasing and what will be remembered due to the sheer volume of opinions. Therefore‚ we must go back to an earlier age to identify what makes an artwork last. From the cross-cultural comparison of the art pieces‚ The Great Wave off Kanagawa‚ and Eruption of the Volcano Vesuvius‚ I synthesized the theory that art‚ that of which is considered truly pleasing‚ can stand the test of time regardless of its origin. Both of these art pieces

small earthquakes coming from Mt. Thunder. For those of you that do not yet know‚ Mt. Thunder is an active stratovolcano and these earthquakes could be related to an impending volcanic eruption. There are three types of volcanos which include: shield volcanos‚ scoria cone volcanos‚ and stratovolcanoes. Unfortunately‚ stratovolcanoes are the most dangerous‚ explosive‚ and deadly volcanoes. The reason for stratovolcano’s explosive tendency is because of the type of magma contained in the volcano’s magma
