Aerial volcano lies at the convergent plate boundary between an oceanic and continental plate. It is believed to have been formed through the process of subduction. When the two plates converge, the denser and thinner oceanic plate gets bent, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental plate. The magma rises, becoming lava when it reaches the Earth’s surface. When the lava cools, it forms rock. Over time, after several eruptions in which magma explodes to the surface when pressure in the Earth is released, the rock builds up and Aerial volcano is formed. The area where this happens is called the subduction zone. The crust of the subducted oceanic plate melts and forms magma, a hot fluid.Environmental: Negative

The path as shown on the map dictates the direction in which residents should travel. Residents are advised to familiarize themselves with the evacuation plan.
The evacuation route will begin in Bravo Town (in highest risk Zone A) and move northwards along the Southwest coastal road towards Alpha City.
From this point, together with the Alpha City residents, the evacuees will travel across the trans-island road (within Zone C) to Charlie Town. Here, the Charlie Town and Aerial Resort residents (also in the highest risk Zone A) will be picked up, and the evacuees will continue traveling northwards to Delta Town (Zone G).
As Aerial Volcano erupts with a pyroclastic flow that travels at 100km per hour, it is important that the residents living in high risk areas such as A should be evacuated at the first signs of impending eruption. Therefore, they should be the first ones to move to areas of lower risk, followed by residents of other areas, who will then be evacuated to the safest zones to ensure safety from the volcanic
Rocks are heated underneath the crust then pushed out through a volcano or the oceanic plate. The rock substance that becomes the crust will deposit back underneath the crust. All of the process can be credited to the dynamic nature of Earth.
1. What is subduction and how did it plus faulting lead to the formation of Catalina’s island? Blueschist, greenschist, and amphibolite rocks are typically found in this order from top to bottom. Amphibolite is found at more intense pressures and temperatures than schists are found due to these metamorphic rocks being made from sediments that get subducted back down into the mantle. The unique Catalina Schist was formed when these layers of rock in the Farallon plate became subducted underneath the North American plate and eventually becoming “stuck.”
- Crust - cool, lightweight, brittle, which floats on top of mantle. It is the outer layer of earth. Tectonic processes reshape continents and also cause earthquakes - Tectonic plates- plates caused by convection currents in the mantle that causes earthquakes. - Ocean basins form where continents crack and pull apart. - Magma – is molten rock
Sherpa fire in Santa Barbara grows to 4,000 acres overnight, putting about 140 homes at risk and closing down major freeways according to federal officials. The fire started on Wednesday afternoon on coastal hills north of Santa Barbara. It had moved through overgrown hillsides and canyons that have not been burned in over 60 years because of the hot and dry weather and notorious “sundowner” winds. Sundowners, similar to Santa Ana winds, fuel many of the fires in the Santa Barbara County.
The Connecticut river valley was also formed from many rifts and faults that had developed. A rift valley is a region of lowland that forms where tectonic plates move apart, which is how the river valley was formed. On the other hand, the plate tectonics also formed the Appalachian mountains. The Appalachian mountains were formed by convergent boundaries, which is when two plates collide. The
One of the issues with geological features such as volcanoes is that it is impossible to know when it will become active again, we are only able to predict using the various technologies used to measure the different features of the volcano. The only thing communities can do is to be prepared for such an event. Things such as training the emergency rescue services in the area to be able to respond to an eruption or identifying the areas that are at high risk are things that can be done by the local community. The state government will have to be involved to make sure that the citizens are evacuated into a safe region and that there will be a steady food and water supply for them. The state/Federal government may also enlist the services of special emergency response teams specifically designed to deal with environmental disasters, these response teams may look to deal with the lava directly and divert away from the populated areas by spraying them with water or bombing them.
The volcano I pick was Mt Mauna Loa. This volcano has erupted about 32 times for the eruption of 1984. Mauna Loa is about 600,000- 1 million years old and hasn’t erupted as much as Kilauea and when it erupts it produces huge rivers of lava and threatens towns nearby. Mauna Loa is the second tallest volcano in the world. The elevation is 13,679 feet high.
One of Juneau’s most destructive slides occurred in 1936, covering South Franklin Street and killing 15 (Elizabeth, Jenkins 2015). Although deadly landslides aren’t as frequent damage to land is still a problem that the city faces. There is not a lot the city can do to mitigate the dangers. The city of Juneau focuses on preparedness and building codes and ordinances to protect citizens from another deadly
In the future to prevent Haiti from greater damage by natural disasters Haiti should do the following actions: To prevent Causalities in future disasters Haiti should give warning to all residents about the disaster predicted and get to the safest place possible. You could get to a safe place in your city/town were you can prevent serious injuries and deaths. People In Haiti could have a plan run by the community or council and all should know what to do if something horrific occurs, that way the town will be safe and knowledgeable about how to protect themselves. These three proposals could prevent further impact in the future from natural disasters and the citizens of Haiti to be safe and aware at all times.
The top risk in my community is flooding. When there is heavy rain in an approximate two-hour period the streets flood, because the canal near my home overflows with rain water. The evacuation route out of Algiers, New Orleans would be US 90 east or west, depending on the direction of the storm. Since, hurricane Katrina and the events at the New Orleans Superdome and Convention Center, the city no longer offer shelter before an approaching storm. The city does offer what is called city-assisted evacuation.
Hawaii Home to one of the world’s most active volcanoes, lies the beautiful islands of Hawaii. Stretching 1500 miles across the Pacific Ocean and twice the size of Mount St. Helens these islands are one of the youngest geological formations on the earth. These volcanoes are around 80 million years old and is where paradise meets darkness. Behind the stunning views and beautiful beaches, Hawaii has a storm of volcanoes erupting destroying everything in its path. Some may ask what causes this beautiful place to have such active volcanoes and my answer is complex yet simple.
The best way to prepare for a category 5 hurricane is by planning what you will do and trying to be greatly prepared. If you have no idea how to get inclined in the best way follow these guidelines. A hurricane may come as a category 5 or go down to a category 1. No matter how awful a hurricane comes at its best to always be prepared. To begin with for any hurricane it is best to buy plenty of supplies to eat during the hurricane.
WATER!!!! There are many vital things that will be needed, but this will be a mini guide to being safe during the hurricane. Here are the concepts i will talk about leaving the area and going to a safe place, putting up your shutters securely on your windows so they won 't fly off, gather enough food and water to eat. First of all, leaving the state would be one of the best ideas, because it is the safest and most efficient ways to stay safe, it is also the recommended thing to do in case of an emergency. From the source(https://www.depts.ttu.edu/nwi/research/DebrisImpact/Reports/DDS.pdf) the text states “hurricanes cause 60 injuries per year Nationwide, hurricanes annually account for an average of 17 deaths”

1st thing to know two escape routes from the house or base make sure a survivor’s need extra supplies like canned food water and weapons. 2nd Have to be fit most of the time survivors will be running and swinging the melee weapons. Do jogs, runs and walks in the days before the outbreak happens. 3rd don’t drive
