    Prior to this eruption, on March 27 of the same year “a steam explosion and crater opening occurred at the mountain’s peak.” For a few weeks, this steam continued to come out of the crater that was growing on the mountain as well as ash. Then, towards the end of April, people began noticing a bulge on the north side of the mountain that continuously grew larger. By the time the volcano erupted, the “north side of Mount St. Helens bulged out 300 feet and increase[ed] at a rate of five or six feet a day. This was caused by magma rising inside the mountain” which led to Mount St. Helens erupting.…

    While the reading passage enumerates the three types of damage often cited by the critics of the "Let It Burn Policy," the professor in the lecture effectively refutes the validity of each of these arguments by redirecting attention to the long term benefits that resulted from the recovery process. The first serious damage cited by the critics is the loss of vegetation. There was significant loss of trees and other vegetation in the park as some one-third of Yellowstone national park was engulfed by the fire. It would have been understandably shocking for people to witness the charred remains of trees and ashes left on the landscape. The professor, however, points out that vegetation did, indeed, return to the area, and more significantly, new forms of botanical…

    Mt Vesuvius is located in the west coast of Italy overlooking the bay and city of Naples. Latitude and Longitude: 40.82°N / 14.43°E. Build up of pressure in the magma chamber causes Mt Vesuvius, a stratovolcano to erupt. When gases in the magma chamber are under immense heat and pressure they dissolve in the liquid rock, once this magma reaches the conduits (channels for conveying water or other fluid) the gases explode and may burst out the sides of the cone in addition to the summit crater. Mt Vesuvius is a Stratovolcano also known as a composite volcano.…

    Shield volcanoes are formed by many different lava flows that layer over time. Mount Kilauea is a well-known shield volcano in Hawaii. Before it erupts, it is known to inflate as magma pushes upward from its magma chamber. Seismic activity usually precludes Kilauea’s eruptions by about 24 hours. Their eruptions consist mostly of lava flowing out of the summit or through lava tubes in what is known as a flank eruption.…

    Volcanoes form when magma rises through cracks or weaknesses in the Earth's crust. Pressure builds up and magma explodes to the surface causing a volcanic eruption. The lava from the eruption cools to form a new crust. After several eruptions, the rock builds up to form a volcano. Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface.…

    The natural process of volcanism occurs in New Zealand and can produce a multitude of hazards to both the natural and cultural environment. Volcanism occurs in New Zealand due to its location on the boundary of the Pacific Plate and Indo-Australian Plate. Due to convection currents in the asthenosphere, the tectonic plates are pushed together and one plate is pushed below the other creating a subduction zone. In the North Island the Pacific Plate is subducting below the Indo-Australian but in the South the Indo-Australian subducts beneath the Pacific Plate. As the oceanic lithosphere subducts beneath the continental crust (or vice versa in the South), the increase in temperature and pressure causes volatiles such as water to be expelled from…
