of Volcanic Eruptions on Climate Introduction Recently there has been a lot of research in the field of climate change‚ and much of it is focused on anthropogenic affects on climate. However‚ there has also been a great deal of research focused on natural Earth processes and how they affect the climate (Robock 2000). One natural process which significantly impacts climate is volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruptions affect the climate of the earth in many ways (Zielinski et al 1997). Volcanic ash

Volcanic Materials and Health Concerns Introduction: Basic Geology of Volcanoes A volcano can be a mountain like structure or a wide sloping hill that opens downwards to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When a break in the earth’s surface allows molten rock material to come up from the earth’s core‚ a volcano is formed.

Saji Begum With reference to one or more located coastlines‚ examine the factors responsible for landforms of coastal erosion. (25 marker) Most of our landforms on the coastline are formed because of coastal erosion. But firstly it is essential to understand what coastal erosions are. Coastal erosion involves the breaking down and removal of material along a coastline by the movement of wind & water. They are sorted in two categories‚ Marine processes and Sub aerial processes. A few methods of erosion

Volcanic conditions Although it’s dormant‚ Kilimanjaro has fumarole (an opening in the earths crust) that emits gasses in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Molten magma is just 400 metres below the summit crater. A number of landslides have occurred in the past creating an area called the Western Breech. The last known eruption was approximately 360 000 years ago‚ but the most recent volcanic activity
