pyroclastic materials, pumice, volcanic ash and igneous rocks. They tend to have similar eruption patterns that ordinarily results in very significant pyroclastic flows indicated by a fast moving build-up of ash and gas as the upper basal, and pumice and hot lava as the lower basal. From experienced occurrences, these Stratovolcano pyroclastic flows produce great energy and flow speed and have potentially destructive power, as was experienced during the Armero Tragedy which was a direct consequence of an eruption
the pressure. Toxic gases and rocks shoot up through the opening, overflowing the air with hot lava fragments. This can bring floods, avalanches, and can even provoke tsunami and earthquakes. How are they formed? Volcanoes are created when magma from within the Earth's crust rises to the surface. At the surface of the volcano, the manga erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time, these lava flows and ash deposits increases in size. What are
eventually break through a weak point in the Earth’s crust. When this happens the volcano may have a violent eruption of gas, rocks, molten lava, and ash. Volcanoes are generally grouped into four categories: cinder cone, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and lava domes. Cinder cone volcanoes are formed when gas-charged lava explodes into the air. The pieces of lava that fall from the air solidify and create a cone-shaped hill with a cup-shaped depression. Composite volcanoes are large, steep, symmetrical
forced upwards, and then surrounded by lava basalt flows. Once erupted through fissures and floods through out most of the area, lava flow eventually created enough basalt to form a thickness of about 1.8 kilometers (1). All of this basalt flow eventually led to the covering of most mountains, leaving the buttes uncovered. The igneous lava flows and loess is reasons that the Palouse consists of such sprawling hills, and rich soil for farming (2). In result of the lava flows, the Precambrian rock Quartzite

side of the mountain.”( Jeannie A. J. Scott). This explosion has damaged the mountain. ”Extrusion of the dome began in the center of the explosion crater created by Santa Maria's 1902 activity.”(WILLIAM I ROSE, JR.). This explosion was a major one in history. ”Flows, pyroclastic debris, and lahar materials directly associated with the Santa Maria composite cone occur on three sides of the dome.”(WILLIAM I ROSE, JR.). It has damaged itself and the area around it. Santa Maria is also near other volcanos
by way of information and predictions on activity is immeasurable. Named for the Roman god Vulcan, volcanoes have both intrigued and frightened mankind for centuries. Human like footprints dating back 300,000 years have been found in the solidified lava of Roccamonfina volcano in Italy (Onion, 2013). These footprints, called the "Devil's Trail" appear to indicate that these ancestors were escaping an eruption. In Turkey, a 9,000 year old painting depicting a volcanic eruption was discovered in 1964
A volcano erupts, and lava spews everywhere, burning every living thing it touches. By the time the eruption is over, not a single blade of grass is still living in the area. Volcanoes and their magma have always been viewed as chaotic, uncontrollable objects. But what if humans could use them for their own advantage? Geothermal energy is energy from Earth’s heat. Geothermal energy has some advantages over other types of energy. One is that it is available over 90% of the time compared to coal plants
Volcanoes can be found throughout the world. Often located along tectonic plate boundaries, shield, composite, and cinder cone volcanoes can be beautiful and deadly. The Pacific Ring of Fire is home to volcanic arcs and volcanic island arcs; the volcanoes of Japan are included in this. Japan, like many areas in this ring, is prone to having numerous volcanoes of varying shape, size, and make. According to Japan: A Country Study, “A tenth of the world’s active volcanoes are found in Japan, which lies
rocks. The effects on the landscape are lava that releases onto the Earth's surface. When that lava comes to the Earth's surface, it is red hot, and sometimes the temperature is more than 2012 degrees Fahrenheit. Fluid lava flows swiftly down a volcano's slopes. Sticky lava flows more slowly. As the lava cools, it hardens into many different formations on the landscape. Highly fluid lava hardens into smooth, folded sheets of rock called pahoehoe. Stickier lava cools into rough, jagged sheets of rock

of the Turks and Mongols. He chose Samarqand, “the city of domes,” for his capital and was an important trading city along the Silk Road. Trademarks of the Timurid style were of monumental scale; multiple minarets, polychromy tile work, and large bulbous double domes. The Timurids are best known for their advances in architecture, especially the melon dome. A melon dome, or a bulbous dome, is a pointed dome that swells. The melon dome is present on the mausoleum of Ahmad Yasavi, Bibi Khanum congressional
The Beauty of the Pantheon and the Parthenon If I showed you pictures of the Parthenon and Pantheon, would you get them confused? Well, I sure did at first, but then realized a lot of people do because they look almost alike. Well I am going to tell you today that they are two completely different, yet monumental pieces of architecture. To start off I want to look at the Parthenon and then finish with the Pantheon. So let's begin! The Parthenon is a temple that towers above the city of Athens
Irish Immigrants in Boston The life of Irish immigrants in Boston was one of poverty and discrimination. The religiously centered culture of the Irish has along with their importance on family has allowed the Irish to prosper and persevere through times of injustice. Boston's Irish immigrant population amounted to a tenth of its population. Many after arriving could not find suitable jobs and ended up living where earlier generations had resided. This attributed to the 'invisibility' of the
Ezekiel becomes aware that he is a prophet of God's word when he receives a vision by the Chebar River in Babylon (Thomas 25). His first vision consists of amazing creatures that each had four faces and four wings. Above these human like creatures was a dome that looked like a throne. On this throne was a human like form that resembled the likeness of the glory of God. When Ezekiel saw this he fell on his face. Then a voice came to him and said: "O mortal stand up on your feet, and I will speak with you
mathematical or design reasons the Greeks originally saw in their creations (as mentioned above). But this was not the case with the Pantheon. There are many references to geometric shapes (circles and squares) throughout the building. In addition, the dome was created at a height that is a perfect sphere above the ground which was a mathematical and structural This is quite different than the Parthenon, which focused on the pillars both inside and outside of the building. Marble stone pillars are a
Roman Pantheon (c. AD 125) v. Macon Auditorium (ca.1900) In this project, we going to compare two historical building, the Roman Pantheon (c.AD 125) and the Macon Auditorium completed in 1925 (“Macon City Auditorium”). Although very recent in historical perspective, we did find fewer information about the latest building compare to the Roman Pantheon. In this project, we did find a striking resemblance between these two building, starting from the idea behind the project, the architectural concept
regions. The Paricutin Volcano is referred to as a scoria cone volcano. This name is derived from the shape the volcano took while developing. Scoria cone volcanos are renowned for appearing suddenly, creating a cone shaped volcano, with a large inward dome, before going extinct or dormant for long periods of time. The Paricutin Volcano is one of the youngest volcanos in this region. Scoria cone volcanos are the most common type of volcanos in the region. The crater created by the volcano is almost 200
Volcanoes and the Environment By Fred M. Bullard As a little kid, volcanoes always interested me, as it probably interested every little kid at that time. It was always just something that amazed me when I saw that vicious eruption and the flow of lava; that would just make beyond ecstatic. But even as I have gotten older, I still have interest in volcanoes; I always wanted to learn more about them and about how they affect their environment and those things surrounding that environment. This article
descriptions that do not involve unusual perspectives. In fact, the most original and distinctive vision in the poem--the passage treating the ice on the trees (ll. 5-14)--is undercut both by the self-consciousness of its final line ("You'd think the inner dome of heaven had fallen") and by the two much more conventionally perceived environments that follow it: the rural boyhood of the swinger of birches (ll. 23-40) and the "pathless wood," which represents life's "considerations" (ll. 44-47). As a result
