what ways does volcanic activity vary in relation to the type of plate margin on which it occurs (10) Volcanic eruptions can occur along both destructive and constructive plate boundaries; however the eruptions are different at the two different plate boundaries. Generally the eruptions are considered to be more violent at constructive plate boundaries compared to eruptions at destructive plate boundaries. At constructive plate margins the lava has a low viscosity meaning it is very runny lava

may or may not be incorrect. 1. The Richat dome is an anticline fold, or upwarped dome, circular feature that is the result of tensional stress. 2.The Richat dome is 38 KM wide. 3. 4. The Persian Gulf and Arabian Gulf are both proof of plate convergence. 5. Tensional stress is responsible for these dip-slip, or normal and reverse type faults. 6.The Zagros mountains are the result of compressional stress while the Basin and Range Province are the result of tensional stress. Compressive

My dog just stole my cookie. I made a giant sugar cookie and frosted it and turned around to get milk and I turn around and his front feet are on the counter and he’s running away with my delicious cookie (with a glut of sugar in it. I guess it was good I didn’t get to eat it?) Anyways, I’ve had a productive day. Yesterday (Saturday), after sitting on my floor using my iPod and texting, going on social media, and playing mobile-phone games all day, I realized that - even though I could succumb to

The Philippines is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the world alongside Japan, India, Bangladesh, China and Indonesia. It sits across a major plate boundary meaning it faces significant risks from volcanoes and earthquakes. The Philippines is made up of around 7000 islands all mainly mountains with areas of coastal lowlands and many people work on steeply sloping land of the mountains dues to the good soil for agriculture. Being 25% bigger then the UK it has a population of 91 million, which

8. Summary and conclusion Disasters can be natural such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, road and rail accidents and outbreak of disease. They can be manmade also like chemical, biological and nuclear attacks. In both situations significant social, environmental and economical impactwould occur. Casualties following disasters, and major accidents could escalate very rapidly if necessary preventive methods are not followed. Since such events are sudden and rapid, it is very difficult or may not

One of the challenging tasks for civil engineers is to mitigate the response of a structure subjected to dynamic loads in order to reduce the risks of damage and injuries caused by extreme hazards such as earthquakes and strong winds. Recent devastating earthquakes around the world have underscored the tremendous importance of understanding the way in which civil engineering structures respond during such dynamic events [1]. For example, the Kobe earthquake (in January 1995 in Japan), with a 6.9

A seismic tremor (otherwise called a shudder, tremor or quake) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, coming about because of the sudden arrival of vitality in the Earth's lithosphere that makes seismic waves. Quakes can extend in size from those that are weak to the point that they can't be felt to those sufficiently vicious to hurl individuals around and decimate entire urban areas. The seismicity or seismic action of a territory alludes to the recurrence, sort and size of quakes experienced

Guidebook for Aerial Volcano Formation of Aerial Volcano What is a volcano? What is a volcano? A volcano is a mountain that extends downwards to a pool of molten rock called magma below the Earth’s surface. When the pressure inside the Earth builds up, a volcanic eruption occurs. Magma shoots up through the opening and flows down the sides. Volcanoes can also spew volcanic ash when it erupts. What is pyroclastic flow? Aerial Volcano is an active stratovolcano that erupts pyroclastic flow. Pyroclastic
