Mt. Saint Helens is a volcano located in Skamania County in Washington. It is the product of when tectonic plates on the surface of the Earth collide. Like how most volcanoes are formed, the formation of Mt. Saint Helens began with subduction of the Mt. Saint Helen Juan De Fuca plate underneath the North American plate. An explanation of why this happens is because the water weight on top of the oceanic plates increases the density of the oceanic crust in which eventually, it slides under the continental crust. The oceanic plate (Mt. Saint Helen Juan De Fuca plate) then goes farther underneath the continental plate and the lithosphere. It eventually reaches the asthenosphere part of the upper mantle where the plates are melted and turn into

About 1 year ago, my family and I went to a glorious place called Crystal Mountains. Crystal Mtn is a ski resort in Thompsonville, MI. My family went because of our yearly Christmas gift exchange. My cousins traveled to this location as well. We all stayed at the resort for a week or so on Christmas. At Crystal Mountains, we did a lot of really fun things inside and outside of the cabin. All of what we did was a blast!
Humans don’t have a big impact on Mount Etna, People only effect Mount Etna by documenting it and keeping track of what is happing around the volcano and monitoring it to prepare for the eruption.

The Glaciated Mountains (alpine area) was created when some of the seafloor went beneath the continental land mass but some of the sea floor was scraped off and jammed against the mainland, creating the dome mountain. The Glaciated Mountains are also known for Mount Olympus, the tallest mountain in the park which rises up to 7,965 feet. The coastline is made of 73 miles of the Pacific Ocean. The coast hasn’t changed at all because nothing can change it except for the surf and storms. The Ozette Loop is a popular trail that takes you through some of the coast and some of the forest. The Hoh River, toward the south end of the park, gave out large amounts of eroded timber, which moved north toward the beaches. The Olympic National Park is one

The world-famous mountain of Squaw Valley has been a home to me, a place to explore some of the great features that the Lake Tahoe region has to offer. Recently, a proposal has been passed to unnecessarily expand and innovate what was once a beautiful piece of land, to a “concrete jungle”. It was clear to me that what's proposed would, wall off the west end of the valley, occluding nearly every angle of the one of a kind mountain views the world has enjoyed for so many years. It's simply inappropriate and far too big. Nothing about it fits.
One warm, sunny day, my family and I went on a small vacation to Georgia. My father said he had been there before; Stone Mountain it was called. It looks just as it sounds, a stone mountain. It has a bare face where three men on horses are carved. Holding their hats to their chests, the three men sat on their own horses, appearing to look at something in the distance.

Can you imagine a world in which there was no war, no homelessness or poverty? Ever since I was six years old I’ve dreamed dreamed of a world that was ideal, a world that would not need to worry about the future of their children.The universe we live in is brimming with crime, unemployment and starvation.Consequently, many people don’t realize that the solutions to these predicaments lie in the hands of our community, for our citizens are stronger as one. Throughout our society is a force that has not been aroused, a force that can move mountains, a force that can change lives. it is imperative that we come together and make this dream become reality.
