Excavation has produced landforms such as pits‚ ponds‚ ridge‚ drenches‚ subsidence depressions‚ canals‚ and reservoirs. Dumping is the creation of landforms due to excavation‚ for example the cutting of terrace out of slopes of hills and mountains in Asia. The removal of fluids and solids beneath the ground‚ results in subsidence. The effects

encompasses a wide range of concepts fundamental to many professions and to civilization in general. Scientific disciplines such as civil engineering and environmental sciences‚ for instance‚ rely on a deeper understanding and appreciation for earth’s landforms and processes. Generally‚ any environmentally-related field requires a background on geological studies. Since civil engineers are ideally responsible for the built environment‚ an understanding of the ground upon which various infrastructures

Positive Effects of Volcanos Volcanic activity has many positive impacts on both the natural physical environment and on socio-economic activity. Positive impacts include the creation of new land‚ the creation of valuable natural minerals and ores‚ and the enhancement of countries’ tourism potential. Creation of new land: Volcanic activity can result in the creation of new land‚ when material from within the earth’s crust is ejected in the form of molten liquid‚ then cools and solidifies to created

1.Introduction: Historical accounts of what is now known as the volcanic eruptions on the Greek island of Santorini‚ previously known as Thera‚ suggest that the estimated 1600 BC eruptions may be one of the most catastrophic natural disasters in human history.1 Conflicting beliefs of the timing of the event have been made. The debate of the traditional 1500 BC‚ and the earlier date emanate from the finding of an olive branch buried beneath lava‚ which radiocarbon dating has estimates is from 1627-1600

To what extent can preparedness and planning mitigate the effects of volcanic hazards? Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe and naturally hazards occur too. It can be said that it’s easier to predict an event than prevent it‚ however prediction does have a positive impact on the effects of a volcanic hazard. Firstly‚ the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored

The signs of volcanic characteristics become apparent while driving west of Geelong‚ where some farms are littered with basalt. Scattered bluestone can be found around the area. Driving further west‚ walls built with volcanic rocks become more and more common. More than 400 vents of
