This breathtaking province is located on the eastern edge of North America and is the youngest province to join Confederation in 1949 (Summers‚ 2010) to become a part of Canada. There are many attributes that make up this province. Physical‚ economical and human diversity play a large role in the makeup of this province.

Volcanic eruptions can cause damage within hundreds of miles away. The volcano ash’s causes airplane engines to fail‚ destroys crops‚ contaminates water‚ and damages electronics and machinery. When the ash touch’s the ground‚ burying everything‚ sometimes even make’s buildings to collapse. Mount St. Helen’s produced more than 490 tons of ash that fell over some many miles. All volcanos are dangerous. They are all scattered all over the world and we don’t know when they are going to blow. The three

There is certain order in the world. The planets move in their orbit around the sun. The disasters which occur naturally are known as natural disasters. There are infinite natural disasters. Some of them are landslides‚ floods and volcanic eruptions. By taking the example of planets orbiting around the sun‚ the question rises that how do these devastating disasters occur? Floods occur in those areas which are closer to seas. Due to heavy rain‚ the sea water increases and spills out over the area

These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collisional boundaries; divergent boundaries‚ also called spreading centres; and conservative transform boundaries. Activities like earthquakes‚ volcanic activity‚ mountain building and oceanic trench formation occur along these plate boundaries and the lateral relative movement of the plates varies 0-100 mm annually. Relation between plate tectonics and mountains: Mountain formation processes are

Work done by geologist in the 1950s used methodical studies of the volcanic deposits‚ laboratory investigations of rock and ash samples‚ they also used radiocarbon (carbon-l4) dating of plant remains buried in and beneath the ash layers and other volcanic debris has allowed them to reconstruct a complete record of the prehistoric eruptive behavior of Mount St. Helens

Odin created the first form of human beings with the help of an elm and ash tree.

I chose this quote because it shows how powerful this volcano is. The Volcanic ash that erupted from the mouth of the stratovolcano condensed into pebbles of ash‚ and chunks of coal from the volcano. At that time the lava with high viscosity had not erupted yet. The VEI of the volcano on the convergent boundary between the
