Introduction This report is meant to investigate whether all seismic events have the same cause and effect as the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in 2010. The second seismic event chosen to compare whether the same causes and effects are common with eruptions is Mount Ontake. The theory of plate tectonics is the idea that the crust of the earth is divided into separate sections that create a shell from the mantle. The theory was brought to scientists’ attention by Alfred Wegener...

Kilauea is an incredible secure fountain of liquid magma inside the Hawaiian Islands, and in this manner the most dynamic of the 5 volcanoes that along kind the island of Hawaii. It began ejecting around 150,000 to 280,000 years prior. It is the second most youthful result of the Hawaiian hotspot and in this manner the current eruptive focal point of the Hawaiian-Emperor mount chain. Since it needs topography noticeable quality and its exercises generally concurred with those of spring...

This research paper is intended to travel through the history, composition, and destructive eruptions of three of the most well-known volcanoes on Earth in order to evaluate human preparedness in anticipation of Mt. Rainier's future eruption. Specifically, Mt. St. Helens, Nevado del Ruiz, and Mt. Pinatubo will be taken into consideration for the analysis. Additionally, a final overview of Mt. Rainier’s history will be presented and compared to the above-mentioned volcanos to establish if authorities' emergency plan regarding Mt. Rainier's...

Introduction Senecio madagascariensis Poiret (fireweed) is an short-lived or daisy-like annual herb with abundant branched stem that grows from 10 to 70 cm in height. Fireweed is native to Madagascar and Southern Africa and it was first introduced in the Hunter Valley in Australia by 1918 (Department of Agriculture and Fisheries QLD, 2017) and large spread and infest in Hawaii(USA), Japan, Columbia, Argentina, Australia, Argentina (Sindel et al., 1998). The habitat of Senecio madagascariensis commonly distribute in the pastures, woodlands,...

Kilauea is one of five volcanoes that forms Hawaii. Kilauea is active, and the most active out of the five volcanoes. It has been erupting since 1983. Kilauea is approximately 300,000 and 600,000 years old. It is situated along Hawaii's south shore and is accepted to have arrived adrift level around 100,000 years prior. Kilauea is a Hawaiian word signifying 'much spreading' or 'regurgitating', named in that capacity in view of its successive magma stream (Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica,2020). Most...

The Paricutín volcano is the one of youngest on Earth and belongs to the Trans-Mexican volcanic belt. It is situated in the central part of Mexico in the state of Michoacan, 322 km from Mexico City. The eruption occurred from 1943 to 1952 in the Michoacán-Guanajuato volcanic field (Larrea et al., 2017). Paricutín is notable for the fact that scientists rarely manage to capture the formation of a new volcano and the full cycle of its eruption (Larrea et al.,...

There are many volcanoes around the world, one might think there are all the same but in fact, volcanoes are separated into three categories. The three categories that volcanoes are separated to is composite, cinder cones, and shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have been around for some time now but what are shield volcanoes and where are shield volcanoes found? What are the similarities and differences between the shield, cinder cones, and composite volcanoes? Lastly, what are the effects of shield...

More time is taken to respond to a volcano eruption and this depends on the distance from the volcano. In the same perspective, fewer dangers are encountered when people are located further from the area of the volcano. Around the volcano area, the potential and immediate dangers include damage from a volcano, heat blast, flying rocks, mudslides, floods and lava. (Cutter, 1996, 529-539). The potential dangers result from the fact that rocks are thrown more than 20 miles from the...

Mount Merapi is located in Central Java in Indonesia. It’s inside the Ring of Fire it’s on the destructive plate boundary between the Indo-Australian and the Eurasian plate. It’s the second most active volcano in the nation. The volcano is 2 930 m high and 32 km wide. The volcano has been around for 400 000 years. The volcano has been erupting regularly since 1548, one explosion stood out and it was early November 2010. Mount Merapi was named like...

Volcanoes have lava in them that is really hot and dangerous to be around or touch.There lava builds up and makes a burst that is called an eruption.Volcanoes can be found in many different places but are usually found around the Ring of Fire.They also are found on the borders of places because they have more shifting plates. There are many dangers and risks with being around one. Bright red lava flows in Hawaii can get as hot as 1,165...

The earth is made up of three main layers namely the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is a thick solid rock, the mantle also referred to as magma is a thick molten rock and the core has an eccentric slid surrounded by liquid. Temperatures inside the core are very high (about 50000C), described as a ‘huge fiery ball’. The heat at the core rises and magma is heated to an extent of exploding through the crust. This...

Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are a lot more explosive than other volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are one of the most dangerous types of volcanoes. The large, cone-shaped volcanoes form on subduction zones called plate boundaries. The magma contains more silica making it more viscous. The thick, viscous magma plugs up the volcano and causes pressure to build-up; resulting in a dangerous and explosive eruption. Composite volcanoes, or Stratovolcanoes, are formed through the collision of Oceanic and Continental plate boundaries. This...

An Earthquake also known as tremor or quake, an Earthquake is the behavior by the earth’s surface blocks to suddenly slide past one another casing tearing of the blocks. The plane from which the block slides from is refferred to as fault plane. The position that is below the earhs surface where the earthquake originated is referred to as the hypocenter and the position that is directly above the hypocenter on the earth’s surface is referred to as the epic...

For centuries, people across different civilizations had been terrified by the display of power that volcanic eruptions present, and they interpreted them as a sign of wrath and vengeance of gods. Clearly, with the progress of the modern science, volcanoes have been demystified; particularly, the development of the plate tectonics theory in the 1960s has played a major role in helping people understand volcanoes. The purpose of the present paper is thus to analyze volcanoes as a natural phenomenon. The...

The volcanoes in Hawaii are formed on a chain of hotspots in the ocean known as the Hawaiian Emperor Seamount chain. The hotspot location climaxes, resulting in a shield volcano, and then dies out, reappearing on the trail of the chain, creating a new volcano. This is known as the plate tectonics and hotspot theory, developed by Tuzo Wilson in 1963. The trail of hotspots dates back to the oldest volcano at 5.1 billion years in the location of Kauai...

To start off, I am going to tell you what a volcano is, what they do, what's their purpose, how they have formed what types of volcanoes they are, and their anatomy along with the material within and intrusive bodies so that way you know the ins-and-outs of volcanoes and what their purpose serves on planet Earth. First off, a volcano is a mountain that contains a very hot material called magma that is held inside of a chamber which...

The Kilauea volcano, the second-youngest volcano in the Hawaiian Ridge, has continued to have a significant impact on the surrounding environment and its population since its current phase of eruption started in 1983. This eruption is thought to be the longest-lasting in Kilauea’s entire history – a history between three-and sixhundred thousand years long. It is also a history that has also literally produced the island of Hawaii itself, due to the shield volcano’s gently sloping sides, which constitute fifteen...

This devastating event happened on Hawaii’s Big Island and sent lava flowing through a very populated area called Leilani Estates, a residential area located near the Kilauea volcano. Hawaii is a part of the United States of America, but it is located in the Pacific Ocean. The lava spread thirty-six thousand square meters, forcing approximately two thousand people living near Kilauea to evacuate their homes. What Caused It to Happen? Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the...
