  • Beneath The Surface Mauna Loa
    1,512 words
    Which are the biggest (tallest and largest volume) and smallest volcanoes on Earth? The island of Hawaii is probably the largest volcano on earth. From its base (on the floor of the Pacific Ocean) to the summit of Mauna Kea (about 13 000 ft) is some 30 000 ft i. e. higher than Everest. The island comprises several coalescing volcanoes including Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and Kilauea. Mauna Loa alone has an estimated volume of 40 000 km 3. It is impossible to say which is the smallest volcano since the...

    ... locked into the melted minerals. If volcanic rocks erupt on the earth's crust, such as the Andean volcanoes, then magma can interact with carbonate rocks such as chalk as it travels up through the mantle or lower crust, picking up carbon dioxide on the way. In subduction zones, where the ocean floor goes down into the mantle some carbonate rocks do get taken down and melted, recycling their carbon dioxide content, but this is a minor source compared with the mantle. Carbon is quite common de...

    Volcano: defined is a mountain or hill formed by the accumulation of materials erupted through one or more openings (called volcanic vents) in the earth's surface. The term volcano can also refer to the vents themselves. Most volcanoes have steep sides, but some can be gently sloping mountains or even flat tablelands, plateaus, or plains. The volcanoes above sea level are the best known, but the vast majority of the world's volcanoes lie beneath the sea, formed along the global oceanic ridge sys...

    ... on of material into the air. Nonexplosive eruptions produce lava flows and eject very little pyroclastic material into the air. Explosive eruptions can eject liquid and semisolid lava as well as solid fragments of volcanic or nonvolcanic rock that have been carried along by the rising magma before eruption. Very violent explosive eruptions are called Plin ian eruptions, after Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder. These eruptions can last for several hours to days and eject a large amount of pyro...

  • The Ozone A Hole In Theory

    The protective ozone layer around our world undergoes much thought and debate. The "Hole", however, only exists in the minds of environmental, self-serving scientists and politicians. It interests many to find all the faults in the publics consensus of the "ozone depletion. " Most scientists do not believe in this "depletion", they think it is a natural phenomenon. Ozone gasses come into view as consideration over what gasses are actually accused for this awful crime of destroying the ozone. But...

    Throughout history, man has made many advancements. These advancements have been made to make life easier. The one thing man can't do is to control Mother Nature. Mother Nature can cause many things such as earthquakes. The causes of earthquakes have been theorized in many ways. According to the book Predicting Earthquakes by Gregory Vogt, the Greeks, "blamed the earthquakes on Poseidon, god of the sea" (25). The Hindu believed that "the earth was a platform that rested on the back of eight grea...

    The core is divided into two parts, the solid inner core and the liquid outer core. The inner core is thought to be solid and primarily made up of iron and some nickel. The outer core is all around the inner core and is believed to be made up of liquid iron mixed with liquid nickel. The outer core is about 2890 to 5100 km. The inner core is 5100 to 6378 km. Earths mantle is mainly composed of substances high in iron and magnesium. The melting point of every substance depends on the pressure and ...

    The plates which are about 20 miles thick, make up the earth's crust and are a chief cause of volcanic activity. These plates are always in motion. They move very slowly, however some at times bump in to each other. These movements put a lot of pressure on the surface rock. Volcanoes obtain their energies from such movement and pressure. Volcanoes form at the boundaries of these plate where two types of movement occurs, two plates will collide with each other or the plates will move apart from e...

    When there is a sudden breaking of rocks within the earth or an explosion, wave like energy travels through the earth and is recorded on seismographs. These are called seismic waves and they are of two types: body waves and surface waves categorized into different kinds. What we will be discussing are body waves; there are two types of body waves: primary waves (P waves) and secondary waves (S waves). Both kinds travel through the Earths interior in all directions and arrive before the surface w...

    Volcanoes Since the beginning of times, volcanoes were something that attracted human attention. Our ancestors often thought of volcanoes as places that powerful gods chose to make their home and they werent far from the truth. Volcano is a powerful exhibition of the might possessed by natural forces and the results of awakening such forces are often devastating. Today, volcanoes are a well-explored natural occurrence and theres even a science, called volcanology, which investigates this phenome...

    I. INTRODUCTION A mountain is an elevated land mass usually higher than its surroundings. Some are isolated, but they usually appear in ranges (Ms Bs 95 W 32). A group of ranges closely related in form, origin, and alignment is a mountain system; an elongated group of systems is a chain; and a complex of ranges, systems, and chains continental in extent is a cordillera, zone, or belt. (Ms Bs 95 W 32). Some mountains are remains of plateaus, mesas, and buttes, through erosion (Summerfield). Other...

  • Square Miles Miles North

    Lateral Blast The sudden removal of the volcano's north flank released pressure on the hydrothermal and magmatic system within the volcano, triggering a devastating lateral blast to the north. The abrupt pressure release, or " uncorking, " of the volcano by the avalanche can be compared in some ways to the removal of the cap from a vigorously shaken bottle of soda pop, or to punching a hole in a boiler tank under high pressure. The northward-directed lateral blast of rock, ash, and hot...

  • Time It Takes Surface Of Mars
    1,058 words
    Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at about 228 million-km (141 million miles) and the last terrestrial planet from the sun. The next five planets in order from the sun are gaseous. Mars follows closely behind Earth but is comparatively smaller, with about half the diameter of Earth and about one-tenth of Earth s mass. Thus the force of gravity on Mars is about one-third of that on Earth. Though it is much smaller, Mars does have the same surface land area as Earth. Other than Earth, Mars po...

    trembling or Natural Disasters earthquake, trembling or shaking movement of the earths surface. Most earthquakes are minor tremors. Larger earthquakes usually begin with slight tremors but rapidly take the form of one or more violent shocks, and end in vibrations of gradually diminishing force called aftershocks. The subterranean point of origin of an earthquake is called its focus; the point on the surface directly above the focus is the epicenter. The magnitude and intensity of an earthquake i...
