    On March 10, 2011, I attended a campus wide experience that was showing a volcano documentary by Maurice and Katia Krafft. They were born and raised in France and would like to retire in Hawaii. They are writers, movie makers, and scientists. In 1988, they circled the globe 8 times to study the many volcanoes of the earth. They love to photograph the many shield volcanoes in Hawaii because they are constantly erupting. To them, their perfect paradise is described as a lava lake not a paradise with crystal clear waters and sunny skies. They were attracted to fire since Maurice was 8 and Katia was 14. They transformed their passion to a way of life.…

    3. The information given to the viewer on the evidence of the coming volcanic activity seemed to be pretty accurately based on the knowledge of volcanoes presented in this course. The evidence included an increase in seismic activity/ earthquakes; caldera swelling and irregular growth; bulges above the caldera; vegetation death; and the release of toxic gases such as sulfur dioxide. These symptoms have been present on and around volcanoes that have erupted in the past, and are…

    A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface. It is a raised area of land, which usually forms a mountain or hill. Volcanoes are generally found along tectonic plates- diverging or converging. There are four main types of volcanoes, dome, shield, composite cone and cinder cone, which are based on their shape. There are three levels of activity, active, dormant and extinct.…

    Scientist Ben Kennedy begun a very lengthy quest to solve the mystery of the shrinking pumice. This quest would eventually change the way scientists think about volcanoes-forever. One of the things (out of many) that he and his colleagues found out while on the road was that not only the rock was shrinking, the pores that make up the rock were shrinking as well. They think that this was due to the heating of the rock, and the molten rock's surface tension. What the scientist found was how some volcanoes function on the inside. In past years, volcanologists believed that flowing lava sinks back down and settles after an eruption, pressing on the magma below and crushing all of the bubbles, which makes pressure build up under the compacted lava. This leaves the lava sitting there...Until it explodes. Pow! This hints at why some volcanoes will go through cycles of flowing and explosive eruptions.…

    Volcanoes exist all around the world. There are three types of volcanoes, they are shield volcano, cinder cone volcano and a composite volcano. A volcano is a place where ash, gases, and molten material rock from deep underground erupt to the surface. Lava comes out of a vent , then it turns into a lava flow. When external waters, such as groundwater , mixes with magma and then it turns into steam. The violence of an eruption depends on the amount of gas that was dissolved in the magma. Pyroclastics, form from when fragments of magma are thrown into the air by expanding gas. silicic caldera complexes produce the most violent volcanic eruptions.…

The conclusions of the study was that one third of the outer layer of the moon was extensively melted at the time of the formation of the moon. Although we know that an asteroid large enough to cause that much magma would destroy the moon, much like the solar flare theory. It was concluded that we can search for different kinds of magma rock to be able to support different…
