system on the planet‚” says geologist Daniel Dzurisin. Yellowstone is easily one of the biggest volcanoes in the world‚ and one of the few super volcanoes on continental crust. The extreme ways of this volcano‚ is what makes it unique. Because of its tectonic setting‚ there are many hazards involved‚ as well as potential for damage. The history of this volcano explains that‚ and other super volcanoes help explain what could potentially happen when Yellowstone finally does erupt. Tectonic Setting:

Activity 2 2.1.1 Divergent boundary 2.1.2 Convergent boundary 2.1.3 Transform boundary 2.2.2 Divergent boundary Divergent boundaries cause oceanic ridges‚ valleys and lakes. Divergent boundaries can cause volcanic eruptions. Location: Basalt in (Mid-Atlantic Ridge‚ East-African Rift). Convergent boundary Leads to trenches

that forms over a volcano after it erupts. Collision zone When 2 continental plates collide. Neither plate is forced under the other‚ nor so both are forced up and form fold mountains. Composite volcano Composite volcanoes are made up of alternating layers of lava and ash (other volcanoes just consist of lava). They are usually found at destructive or compressional boundaries. Cone They are the build-up of rock from the volcanic vent; it piles up in the shape of a cone with a central crater. Conservative

Fire is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that encircles the basin of the Pacific.Why is it called the ring of fire have to do with plate tectonics? The Ring of Fire is a direct consequence of plate tectonics and the movement and collisions of crustal plates.What does the ring of fire have to do with plate tectonics?The "Ring of Fire" refers to a string of volcanoes‚ which create a ring in the Pacific. The relevance to plate tectonics‚ is that volcanoes are created by two plates

Geography Assignment: Earthquake Part A: 1. Earthquakes are the sudden and rapid shaking of the earth. The collision of tectonic plates and volcanic eruptions are what cause earthquakes. 2. Earthquakes are caused by the movement of tectonic plates and by volcanoes. The Earth’s crust is made up of plates which can freely slide across the mantle. When these plates collide or slide past with other plates‚ earthquakes occur. After the main earthquake‚ an aftershock may occur as the rock masses

injury‚ suffering‚ sickness‚ disease‚ and even death. This paper will introduce the major natural disasters that have affected life in the Caribbean and they include hurricanes‚ earthquakes‚ volcanoes‚ landslides‚ flooding and tsunamis. Other than Barbados‚ all Windward Islands of the Caribbean are of volcanic origin. Volcanoes are ruptures in the earth’s surface that allow for the escape of lava and gas. The two types of volcanic eruptions‚ explosive and effusive‚ can both have devastating consequences

(Mitchell 444). This article is important in order to further research by geologists and oceanographers‚ making this an interdisciplinary matter. It highlights the need for additional research using new technology to study the effects the ocean has on volcanoes and vice versa. New research is cited throughout this article; each study highlights an area in the Pacific Ocean. The Axial Seamount‚ off the Oregon coast‚ erupted in 2011 and again in 2015. The Chadwick study utilized hydrostatic pressure
