At the base of Mount Fuji‚ Aokigahara is located‚ is it believed to be the most infamous forest in all Japan. This is also known as the Sea of Trees(Jukai)‚ Suicide Forest and Japan’s Demon Forest. This forest has over 500 confirmed suicides since the 1950s (TOFUGU). Aokigahara is a forest that spreads across the northwest base of Mount Fuji‚ it is less than 100 miles from the west of Tokyo. This forest is growing on top a lava that flowed during the eruption of Mt. Fuji in 864. The forest has been

Dr. Rosen has an Honors Degree BS in Geological and Environmental Science from Stanford University and a PhD in Geology from Oregon State University. She is an award-winning writer currently working as a freelance science journalist (cite?). The article discusses the proposal for a new‚ large-scale research program called the Subduction

Did anyone know that around 10 volcanoes erupt everyday and it helps many people? Volcanoes are very good for many thing and it helps alot of people in the world for a huge list of things that it can do for people volcanoes can help economic trouble and even it can help hunger. This area where people live on volcanoes are safe on many levels like some volcanoes people live on are super quiet eruption volcanoes and they do not erupt and explode like volcanoes people think of. But sometimes disaster

The bulk modulus of elasticity of basalt is between 2.8g/cm3 and 3.3g/cm3 and the dense basalt is of high compressive strength‚ which can be as high as 300MPa.The basalt has a high rigidity (its Moh鈥檚 hardness is 5-9)‚ so it has excellent abrasive resistance.

Volcanoes are generally not preserved in the geologic rock record as they are usually eroded away. However‚ the various materials erupted from volcanoes are often found preserved in the rock record. From what you have learned about the different types of volcanoes‚ how could you infer what type of volcano erupted in a given area based on the type of volcanic deposits now found as layers of rock? Give specific examples‚ and briefly discuss how some materials may be linked to different types of volcanoes

About 320 MYA‚ Africa collided with PNA‚ which formed the Alleghanian Mountains. We know that the Alleghanian Orogeny happened because the Alleghanian Orogeny formed the Appalachian Mountains‚ and the remains of the Appalachian Mountains are still here today. 260 MYA‚ when the Alleghanian Mountains started eroding‚ the Appalachian Mountains eroded‚ but not completely‚ so the parts that did not erode are the parts we see today. During this time‚ the Iapetus Ocean was narrowing and subducting‚ and

Sedimentary rocks in Pakistan range in age from Precambrian to Miocene i.e from oldest to youngest on the geological time scale form 542 million years to latest. Luckily for geoscientists all of them are exposed in different parts of the country. Lithologically they constitute sandstone‚ limestone‚ shale and mixed lithologies of them all. These rocks are exposed all along the mountain ranges from Islamabad in north to Karachi in the south. Igneous rocks are exposed north of Peshawar or only at

The Inner Earth is composed of three main parts; the crust‚ the mantle‚ and the core as shown in the diagram of the earth’s interior below: * The Crust - silicate rocks‚ primarily granite and basalt * Oceanic Crust - mostly basalt * Continental Crust - igneous‚ metamorphic‚ and sedimentary rocks * The Mantle - iron and magnesium rich silicate rocks * Upper Mantle (Asthenosphere) * Lower mantle (Mesosphere) * The Core - iron nickel
