Volcanology

#12 Melanie Diaz Popocatepetl Introduction: Volcano: a mountain or hill that has a crater or vent that lava, rock fragments, vapor, and gas that erupts through earth's crust. According to the google dictionary. What is a volcano: A volcano is a mountain created by the earth. It also creates a hole where molten rock (lava) erupts. A volcano is filled of magma but when the magma erupts

The Kangaroo Point Cliffs made a huge part in the improvement of the capital of Queensland and port of Brisbane. They are a unique landscape feature of Brisbane along with the Brisbane City Hall and the Story Bridge. Geological history remarkably important is our understanding of which provides the widest and most fundamental picture of the universe. (Walker, August 2014) The cliffs have the best identified outcrop of Brisbane Tuff*, the building stone was used in some of Brisbane's earliest 1820s

Title Volcanos Science Topic: Volcano Eruption Specific: Chemical Reaction / Hypothesis Baking Soda and Vinegar - Drips out - This chemical reaction will be the slowest because it drips out like a slow waterfall. Yeast and Peroxide - Foamy - This chemical reaction represents the Elephant Toothpaste experiment for being big and foamy. Ketchup and Vinegar - Like Real Lava - The classic Science Fair Volcano with ketchup red foul smelling fake magma falling out the side of the volcano. Mentos

On April 30, 2015, a volcano in Chile called Calbuco erupted for the third time in eight days. Calbuco is located near the town of Puerto Montt. One witness, Gregorio Billikopf, said that this eruption was not as dramatic as the previous eruptions that occurred on April 22 and 23. Others have also observed that the most recent eruption of Calbuco was smaller than the earlier eruptions. About 1,500 people were evacuated is what Deputy Interior Minister Mahmud Aleuy said. Due to the steady decrease

Madagascar was once a part of the supercontinent formally known as Gondwana about 200 million years ago (Wikipedia). However, about 115-120 million years ago some movement began to occur that caused India to break off of the supercontinent and attached to it was Madagascar (Wikipedia). Just a few million years later around 84-95 million years ago two major events caused Madagascar to release its hold on India and it became its own independent island country (Wikipedia). The two events were a result

A Volcano is a mountain or hill that has a crater running through it filled with lava, rocks, gas and hot vapour that will erupt. There are three types of volcanoes, there is the Cinder Cone volcano which is the smallest, the Shield volcano which is in most cases the biggest and the Composite volcano which can be the most deadly. Cinder Cone volcanoes are the smallest type of volcano out of the three, their eruptions are small and they are the most common volcano. They tend to be small hill sized

Mount Vesuvius Mount Vesuvius is a strto-volcano on the west coast of Italy. It is one of the active volcanos on mainland of Europe. The destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD is the reason why lots of us know this volcano. This is one of the most dangerous volcanos in the world because a large portion of people live near it like, the city of Naples. Mount Vesuvius destroyed the city of Pompeii. The city was buried by volcanic ash quickly thus the site is well persevered, which can be used by the geologist

Volcano Laki In 1783, the volcano Laki erupted. It took place in Iceland, but it ended up killing almost two million people. The eruption of Laki changed history. Laki is located in Europe. In Iceland, it is within the province Suðurland. The nearest town is Kirkjubæjarklaustur with a population of 160. This town is about 20 kilometers away. Laki’s coordinates are 64.0707 degrees North and 18.2378 degrees West. Even though Laki is at this location, it still had a big impact on the rest of the world

Magma can also push up under the middle of a lithosphere plate, though this is much less common than magma production around plate boundaries. This interplate volcanic activity is caused by unusually hot mantle material forming in the lower mantle and pushing up into the upper mantle. The mantle material, which forms a plume shape that is from 500 to 1000 km wide, wells up to create a hot spot under a particular point on the earth. Because of the unusual heat of this mantle material, it melts, forming
