Methodology On Thursday October 4‚ 2012 the study area Botany Bay‚ St. Thomas and Hectors River‚ Portland‚ Jamaica were visited and a camera was used to take pictures of landforms and observations were done. Pictures were taken of important landforms and notebooks and pens were used to record information on the landforms that was of spoken

extent do you agree that river landforms can be classified as either erosional or depositional? Many different landforms are made by either deposition or erosion and there are some cases where they can be classified as both. Erosional landforms are caused by erosion which is the breaking down and transportation of particles from one area to another. Depositional landforms are made when particles are deposited somewhere else. In my opinion I think that river landforms can be classified as one or

plot the field stops and assisted in identifying relief features associated with the river processes. Measurements of the width and depth of the channel were obtained by the use of a measuring tape and a metre ruler. The lengths of some fluvial landforms were also measured in addition to the degree of slope along the valley sides. An analysis of the sediment found in the river channel was done at two of the four localities. The samples were selected at random and for each‚ the axes were measured

As the world’s population grows‚ more and more people are living in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue to happen and they can cause great threats to life and property. Predicting a volcano’s eruption accurately will lead to more saved lives and ensure our safety. When a volcano erupts it produces many threats. Some of these threats are lava flows‚ falling ash‚ and they may even cause other threats like mud and debris flows‚ or they can cause the climate to change

I am _______ ________‚ newly appointed Site Manager at Akrotiri. After exploring the site’s premises I have much to write about. There is a significant amount of site-management problems and issues‚ which exists at Akrotiri. Marinatos was right when he said that it would take several generations of archaeologists to uncover everything. Even today I know that it will be a long time before everything is unearthed and completed to its original state. There is a lot of work to be done and problems to

Writing Assignment: Famous Igneous Rocks 25 Points Some very famous stone products are made out of igneous rocks. Select one of the items in the list below and do some research on it. Then write a creative story about the travels or life history of the rock that makes up the item. Your story can be as creative as you like but must at least include: * An explanation of the conditions under which the igneous rock was formed in the first place * What the product is today‚ where it is located

This article from News and Views discusses the observation and analysis of submarine volcanic eruptions. Volcanism underwater is unalike volcanism on land due to the differing qualities of water and air. Air is not as dense as water; the properties of air allow for larger eruptions than those that occur underwater (Mitchell 444). Pressure on the ocean floor does not allow water or gasses to escape from lava. This causes the eruption to have less of an impact underwater than it would if it were on

Thera‚ the volcanic caldera in Greece that violently erupted 3500 years ago spawning the myth of Atlantis‚ and wiping out most of the Minoan civilization‚ is deforming. Scientists suggest that this caldera‚ a crater-like volcano that has collapsed in the past‚ may erupt again‚ making the people of the island vulnerable. The deformation could cause many disasters such as tsunamis‚ earthquakes‚ and obviously eruptions. Scientists argue whether the volcanic caldera unrest is actually a threat to the

Formation of Volcanic Islands When people think of volcanoes‚ most would imagine a deadly explosion of liquid hot magma that ruthlessly obliterates anything in plain view. If volcanoes demolish everything in sight then how did life become what it is today? Volcanoes are not just a source of destruction and mayhem‚ long before civilization‚ while the earth was still being developed its apocalyptic surface consisted of nothing but molten rock and volcanic eruptions were a common occurrence; it was
