The spanish translation for the volcano name‚ El Chichon only means ¨THE BUMP¨. El Chichon‚ one of many volcanoes that have been deadly to this world. The famous caldera has an elevation of 3‚773 feet‚ located on a convergent boundary. The volcano was considered quiet until 1982‚ which is now an explosive volcano. It has been said to erupt every 300 years‚ but there has been times when it has been overdue. Even though this volcano isn’t going to erupt for another 300 years‚ I would not live near

tectonic theory and how it can be used to explain seismic and volcanic events worldwide. However‚ I will also look at other potential causes of these events‚ and some evidence that does not follow the theory that all these events are caused by plate boundaries. I am going to look at a range of case studies from differing scales from all areas of the world in order to back up my points. These case studies will include Japan 2011‚ Koynanagar 1967‚ Lincoln 2008‚ Surtsey and the ‘Ring of Fire’. I hope after

broke away from Gondwana and headed east on the Pacific Tectonic Plate. A fragment of this landmass eventually became New Zealand. As the landmass slowly drifted away‚ the Tasman Sea formed between the continents. “About 26 million years ago the boundaries of Pacific and Indo-Australian Tectonic Plates ran through the New Zealand landmass‚ marked by the Hikurangi Trench and the Alpine Fault”

1. The earth consists of iron‚ oxygen‚ silicon and magnesium. This makes up about 90% of the earth’s elements. Jupiter and Saturn on the other hand consist mostly of volatile gases like water‚ methane and ammonia. These two planets retained their volatiles due to their greater gravitational force. 2. Scientist believe that the collision of earth with a smaller body caused the earth to tilt on it axis at 23 degrees. The blasting debris is said to have formed the moon. The period from the accretion

using global data and global visualization tools JAPAN (Convergent): Japan features a very interesting series of geomorphological features. The island lies in the Pacific Ring of Fire that is characterized by having active volcanic and tectonic activity. Due to its geomorphology‚ the area is very vulnerable to environmental hazards such as earthquakes‚ tsunamis‚ and volcanic activity. The country lies atop 4 converging major plate boundaries: the Pacific plate‚ the Philippine plate‚ the Othosk plate

Copper is one of the few metals that have been mined for more than 100 decades globally. According to M.G.C Wilson (1989) copper has been mined since the early 3000 BC in Cyprus. In the ancient times copper was used for making tools‚ weapons‚ ornaments and many household utensils. Copper is the third most widely used metal after aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) because of its high durability (Doebrich et.al‚2009). In the Southern African region copper has been extracted by the early inhabitants long

Some are estimated to be continental or even hemispheric in size‚ while other are believed to be much smaller. Though the actual boundaries and sizes and shapes of the plates are not known for sure‚ it has been postulated that there are six major plates and somewhere around the same number of smaller ones. Most of the plates consist of both sail (continental) and sima (oceanic) crust
