In the movie Dante’s peak, there were some natural clues. The clues show if the peak was activite. The first clue was the ph of the water. The ph can determine if its activated or not. The second one is the hot water. Magma under the water can make the magma hot and make it boil.The third clues trees have died. The volcano can make plants and even animals die out.The fourth clue is that the volcano erupted in 2001. That can indicate a volcano eruption can come in the future. The role of technology

Yellowstone super volcano, its northwest Wyoming and northeast Montana. No one has died, but if you are around when this explodes, you won’t be around much longer. It melts the lithosphere, this makes a giant soup of nukes and when it goes off it will be very powerful. If you put Tokyo in the Yellowstone volcano (caldera) there will be a lot of space left over. Then there is some bad things that might happen, now you might be thinking “save the children!”, it's not going anytime soon. Maybe 30

The summary of the Deep… Everyone used to think that the bottom floor was a mystery. Many scientists were baffled as how it looks like and the map details of it. In fact it was said that mars was more known than the ocean floors. It was not until German scientist Alfred Wegener came up with the idea after extensive research and travelling. He had finally collected enough samples to conclude that all dry lands were once one continent called Pangea. This continent broke up 200 millions years ago

The structure of the earth The earth has three major parts-the land part or lithosphere, the water part or hydrosphere and the air part or atmostpere. The lithosphere is the surface on which you live . It is also the earth solid sphere consisting mainly of massive rocks. The massive rocks form large land masses called continent and small island groups . Different land form such as mountains,hills,valleys,plateaus and plains make up the lithosphere. The hydrosphere include all water forms

Geology 1210 Homework #6 #15 When and what sequence of events led to the origin of the Himalayas in Asia? During the late Cretaceous India’s plate and the Eurasian plate began to collide approximately 70 million years ago. The Indian plate destroyed a chain of volcanoes as it collided with southern Asia, near present day Tibet. As India’s landmass subducted into southern Asia during the Miocene, the Himalayan Orogeny was born from the continent to continent collision. This ended the ocean to
