Right bBefore the eruption there was a earthquake of 5.0 magnitude that helped realise the pressure that was built up over time (Becker para. 12).

happening to the earth. It is an environmental system, but we don’t have control over it obviously. So how can we be the only party who are blame for environmental change? The nature play it’s rule too, we can’t deny that. For example, earth quick’s, volcanos, mini earth quick’s, and hurricanes are considered as natural disaster too. These disasters had been exist long time ago, even before industrial revolution and carbon dioxide emissions. The planet is not the only party who are getting damage because

caldera (collapse basin) and Lake Ilopango, near San Salvador. This catastrophic eruption destroyed all life within 20-30 km of the eruption. The huge cloud of volcanic ash fell over a widespread area, rendering everything within about 100 km of the volcano uninhabitable for one or two centuries.” (PG. 16). In addition, Feudal Japan also faces this major physical feature as it is at risk for not only volcanoes, but also earthquakes and tsunamis. Hence, these appalling earthly features certainly brought

an extensional boundary. The second type of tectonic plates are Subduction tectonic plates. Subduction tectonic plates are an oceanic plate that moves under a continental plate. Subduction tectonic plates cause those most violent earthquakes and volcano eruptions. When the oceanic and continental plate converge, they sink into mantle and cause the volcanic eruptions to take place. The last type of tectonic plates are Transform tectonic plates. Transform tectonic plates slide back and forth against

In Lab 2, we studied the Earth’s crust and the processes that it goes through over times which relates to the theory of plate tectonics, as well as boundaries, hotspots, and forces. We begin with the PLate Tectonic Theory which developed along with many other theories to describe the world’s processes and common natural occurrences. In the theory, it describes how the Earth’s lithosphere is divided up into many different plates that push and pull which affects the creating of many of the Earth’s
