The main priorities of the plan encompasses areas such as weather‚ transportation routes‚ hazardous materials‚ utility preservation‚ logistics‚ personnel‚ search and rescue‚ law enforcement‚ communications‚ and evacuation (City of Watertown 2008). Some basic mitigation strategies are derived from hazard identification suited to the local area and risk assessment of mitigation those

Volcanoes A volcano is an opening‚ or rupture‚ in the surface or crust of the Earth or a planetary mass object‚ which allows hot lava‚ volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. The word volcano is derived from the name of Volcano‚ a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan‚ the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called volcanology. Divergent plate boundaries: At the mid-oceanic ridges

where plates move against or over each other‚ or dive back below the surface. As the plates move‚ mountains are uplifted‚ the sea floor cracks and spreads‚ volcanoes erupt‚ and new land is formed. I think that volcanoes present the greatest challenges to human. And I will try to explain my point of view. As I have already mentioned volcanoes can form a new lands‚ without them we would not have Hawaii Iceland and many other most magnificent places in the world. On the other hand‚ volcanic eruptions

Three types of volcanoes are the shield volcano‚ Strato Volcano’s and cinder cones .The Shield volcanos are usually built entirely from lava flow they are name for their large size and low profile. The Starto’s volcano’s have steep sides with cones that stick out like huge bumps. They are built up when eruptions of viscous lava‚ tephra‚ and pyroclastic flows happen. The Cinder cones is a steep conical hill of tephra that accumulate

Volcanoes Of the many natural forces which have defined the Western United States and Canada‚ volcanoes are among the most dramatic. Five of these 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.

Hot melted rocks collect under the Earth’s surface and when the pressure becomes too hard‚ the Earth’s skin breaks‚ and a volcano erupts. The melted rock inside the Earth is called magma‚ but when it comes out in an eruption‚ it is called

VOLCANOES Most people have never seen a real volcano but have learned about them through movies or books. So when most people think of a volcano‚ they usually conjure up the Hollywood version: a huge‚ menacing conical mountain that explodes and spews out masses of lava which falls on rampaging dinosaurs‚ screaming cave people‚ or fleeing mobs of betogaed Romans - depending on their favorite volcano disaster movie. While those types of volcanoes do indeed exist‚ they represent only one "species"
