natural wonders find their homes in National Parks‚ ranging from Hawaii to British Columbia. Their eruptions occur on mountains on the Ring of Fire‚ when one portion of the earth’s crust slides beneath another‚ and melts under high heat and pressure. Magma erupts from beneath the surface and cause lakebeds‚ mountain peaks and huge boulders. Crater Lake in Southern Oregon at 4‚000 feet is the deepest lake in the nation‚ and was formed when Mount Mazama self-destructed 7‚700 years ago. In the center

Mineral: K-Feldspar K-Feldspar‚ also known as Potassium Feldspar or orthoclase‚ is the most common rock-forming mineral. It covers up about 60% of the Earth’s crust (Feldspar). Feldspar crystalizes from magma which is found in both extrusive and intrusive igneous rocks as well as metamorphic rocks (wisconsingeologicalsurvey.org). They form at medium to high temperature and at certain depths. They may also be found in some sedimentary rocks. This mineral is widespread and can mostly be found

The 1980 eruption was caused when magma formation beneath Mount St. Helens.The first sign of activity at Mount St.Helens occurred as a series of small earthquakes.

Affecting the environment Describe natural factors that have changed the surface and atmosphere of the Earth. Natural factors such as volcanic eruptions‚ changes in the Earth orbit and the amount of energy released from the Sun which can affect the Earth climate. Also human activities can be another reason why atmosphere is of the Earth is changing. When we burn fossil fuel such as coal‚ oil‚ and deforestation have caused the concentrations of heat-trapping “Greenhouse Gas” will increases significantly

Mineral Lab Paper Week One Mineral Lab Geology SCI/245 Axia College Mineral lab Paper The four requirements for minerals are that they must be naturally occurring in other words they must appear in nature something that that was formed by the earth and not man made. It must be inorganic which means I must not be formed from an organic substance like a fossil of any other living creature. It must have a specific crystalline structure that is formed from simple salts and complex silicates

down the hill and kills every thing in the way. It blocks the way for people to travel. Volcanoes are fractured structured located on the crust which fall within the mass of the definition of planet. The earth allows hot lava to escape from the magma which is below the surface. This occurs when the earth’s crust breaks in some major parts. Erupting volcanoes cause many hazards such as volcanic ash‚ which is a threat to aircraft‚ mainly in jet engines where ash particles are melted due to high temperature

1. What are the relationships among Earth’s mantle‚ crust‚ astheno sphere‚ and lithosphere? The lithosphere is basically the strong outer shell of earth. It is roughly 100km thick depending on its age‚ and is broken into plates‚ known as the tectonic plates. Within the lithosphere is the crust as a portion of the upper mantle. The crust is the outer most portion of the earth and takes up less than 1% than the total volume of the earth. It is commonly compared to the skin of an apple‚ whereas

massive eruptions have permanently altered global climate and large parts of the Earth’s topography. However the scale is only one of several factors. The impact of eruptions also depends on physical factors such as viscosity and gaseous content of magma‚ whether eruptions are effusive or explosive‚ the nature of the material erupted e.g. pyroclastic flows‚ superheated gases‚ ash‚ lava etc. There are also human factors such as prediction‚ hazard mitigation‚ and evacuation procedures‚ population distribution

PHARMACEUTICAL LOTIONS INTRODUCTION Lotions are usually liquid suspensions or dispersions. They consist of finely powdered‚ insoluble solids held in more or less permanent suspension by the presence of suspending agents and/or surfactants. Calamine Lotion (USP) is the classic example of this type of preparation. It can be prepared by triturating the ingredients into a smooth paste and then adding the remaining liquid phase. This procedure can be done manually by using pestle and mortar

------------------------------------------------- Rock (geology) In geology‚ a rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example‚ the common rock‚ granite‚ is a combination of the quartz‚ feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth’s outer solid layer‚ the lithosphere‚ is made of rock. Rocks have been used by mankind throughout history. From the Stone Age rocks have been used for tools. The minerals and metals we find in rocks have been essential to
