the many beguiling things about this small country. Costa Rica is full of bewildering contrasts with some of the most unreasonably beautiful and bizarre scenery I’ve ever seen. Alajuela was only a stopover‚ so we set off the next day to Lake Arenal‚ home to one of the country’s many volcanoes. But we had a few mini-wonders to experience along the way first. There was the small café in Mirador Cinchona‚ for example‚ which is a lookout post over a vast garden that resembles a compact rainforest

Objective Explain the reasons why people live in hazardous areas. Discuss vulnerability as a function of demographic and socio‑economic factors‚ and of a community’s preparedness and ability to deal with a hazard event when it occurs. Explain the reasons for some sectors of a population being more vulnerable than others. A Distinction A hazard / Hazard event / Disaster Hazard -is a perceived natural event which threatens both life and property Disaster - is the realisation of this hazard

Michael 5/10/12 The Yellowstone volcano has the potential to destroy all life on Earth. I believe that the volcano will erupt because the Yellowstone volcano is still active. The volcano has not erupted any time recently‚ and could make it even more dangerous the longer it stays dormant. If it does erupt‚ how would it wipe out the population on Earth? Will this event be significant to our generation? What are some of the statistics on the Yellowstone volcano? Is there a way to prevent the eruption

Science FAIR This volcano experiment is unlike the other volcanoes‚ instead it is more unique. In this science project‚ we will be making our own man-made volcano erupt! (except more sophisticated) Our team members are Andrew‚ Jimmy‚ Rosa‚ and Me. (Colin) Well‚ not necessarily make it burst into flames with 2‚085 degrees Fahrenheit lava dripping down; we are making “lava” come out made with soap‚ baking soda‚ vinegar‚ and a little food color to make the “lava” look pleasant. We have many questions

Volcanoes are big erupting mounting that shoot out hot lava/magma. Volcano eruptions produce a lot of toxic gases which can damage the environment. When a volcano is about to erupt there is rain‚ thunder‚ and lightning. Volcanoes can also be bigger or smaller than a mountain. There are many different types of volcanoes that cause destruction throughout the entire world. Volcanoes occur all over the world anytime of the day. Volcanoes occur at the mid-ocean ridges because they are divergent plate

worry about hazards of eruptions of super volcanoes. “The term "super volcano" implies a volcanic center that has had an eruption of magnitude 8 on the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI)‚ meaning the measured deposits for that eruption is greater than 1‚000 cubic kilometers (240 cubic miles)”. (Questions About Super volcanos‚ 2015). According to the definition of super volcano‚ we know that super volcano is actually a kind of volcano‚ which erupt more than one thousand cubic kilometers of deposits. Within

The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program defines an active volcano as having erupted within the last 10‚000 years. A volcano finally goes extinct when there’s no lava supply in the magma chamber beneath the volcano. There are approximately 1‚500 active volcanoes in the world today and 75 percent of them are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire. On average‚ 50-70 volcanoes erupt every year. Nyamuragira – D.R. Congo -Africa’s most active volcano‚ Mount Nyiragongo is located in Virunga National Park in

As the bell of the bank rang‚ Volcano Man flew over to stop the robber. Volcano Man had bright flames as hair. He was a known force in the city because his superpowers were acknowledged by everyone. Volcano Man could fly and send balls of lava to an enemy. Of course‚ hw wouldn’t shoot at a normal mortal because it would fatally wound them. Instead‚ he shoots ball of lava from a distance‚ so that the lava can cool and not kill his target. At the bank‚ Volcano man scanned the premises for a trooper

something like the volcano that is thought to have killed all but 15‚000 members of the human population 74‚000 years ago is underneath the U.S. as I speak? “Lucky for all of us humans‚” we may have to face another volcano like this soon‚ since there is a historically destructive one in Yellowstone National Park. The volcano that possibly killed a majority of the human species and the volcano that currently resides in Yellowstone are both a special kind of volcano called a super volcano‚ which you will

we must define a hazard. A hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life‚ health‚ property or environment in this case caused by a volcano. I will now analyse how the factors affect the hazards. One factor that must be considered is the viscosity of the magma. The viscosity can determine how violent the eruption is and what shape the volcano becomes. Viscosity can be affected by temperature‚ dissolved gases in the magma and its silica content. High temperatures can make the magma less
