    vast areas‚ to gain a more complete understanding of some of Earth’s most critical and dangerous processes. Subduction occurs when oceanic crust is forced downward into the mantle at the place where two lithospheric plates converge. A subduction zone is the area along this convergent plate boundary where subduction is taking place. Activity at subduction zones includes an important part of the rock cycle‚ the recycling of Earth’s crust‚ as well as earthquakes‚ tsunamis‚ and volcanic eruptions. According

    the area it takes place in; however‚ others may solidify that earthquakes are infinitely more catastrophic than volcanoes considering the amount of destruction that it causes. There are two types of plates‚ oceanic and continental. Various types of movement occur along the different types of plate boundaries. Earthquakes measuring a magnitude of 1-6 are not that powerful; therefore‚ not much damage will be produced; however‚ earthquakes measuring of a magnitude of 6+ are going to be much more severe

    released from the earth) that are released around the hole accumulate to create a volcano. These happen most often at "hot spots"‚ which are places along the edges of earth plates that are weak enough to allow the earth to vent hot lava. The study of movement at these plates that creates super geologic activity is called plate tectonics. Statement of the problem The study aimed to find out what ingredient/s together with baking soda and red food coloring will be able to make an unrealistic volcano model

    that are caused through geological processes that have threats to human life and the environment they live in. These types of hazards include things such as Volcanoes and Earthquakes‚ namely because their source of origins are directly linked to tectonic and earthly activity. With the occurrence of lithospheric hazards i.e. the hazard being turned into an event or disaster‚ there comes about effects in the short and long run of things that affect human life and activity. These effects can be classified
