Formation of the Volcano on Aerial Island
Aerial Volcano is a stratovolcano. It is a conical volcano with steep sides formed by the accumulation of hardened lava, rock fragments, and volcanic ash. [ fig 1 ] Magma erupt through one or more volcanic vents, which are openings on the earth’s crust. They are built up when eruptions occur.
With each eruption, erupted lava and ash adds another layer to the growing volcano. After many eruptions, the volcanic material pile up around the vent(s). These piles form what we recognize to be
Aerial Volcano.

Pyroclastic flows are mixtures of ash, pumice

Social Impacts
• There may not be enough resources to rebuild homes quickly, as well as provide sufficient shelters, emergency housing and refugee camps for the stranded.
• Many people will be left homeless and those who have lost a loved one may suffer psychological damage. • There may be a food shortage as all agriculture will be wiped out, leading to starvation.
• Unemployment may rise for a period of time after the eruption as industries are destroyed.
• Clean water, sewage disposal and food distribution facilities may be disrupted by flooding, ash fallout and lava flows which block transport routes.
• Increased levels of occupancy due to shortage of housing may lead to sewage disposal systems
(ie. septic tanks) to malfunction due to accumulations of large amounts of waste.
• Exposed water supplies (ie. springs and wells) may be contaminated with ash, deeming them unsafe for consumption.
• The risk of diseases and famine will be high if the affected people are remote from emergency services. 4

(Harris, 2004) The downfaulting of Death Valley is correlated with the extension of the lithosphere in the Death Valley region, which plays a part to the uplifting associated with Sequoia – Kings Canyon National Park. The Batholiths of the Sierra Nevada mountain ranges are prominent in both parks, exposing “plumbing systems” in magma chambers that fed the volcanoes. “Magmatic differentiation” involves the crystallization of a magma with magma of a different chemical composition, creating more than one type of igneous rock, which can be seen in both Yosemite and Sequoia – Kings National Parks. (Harris, 2004, 748)
Mt. St. Helens is known as “Louwala-Clough”. Louwala Clough is also known as the “Smoking Mountain” because of some Indians of the Pacific Northwest, while, Mt. St. Helens had a memorable story behind its name. It was named Mt. St. Helens to honor a fellow countryman, who happened to be one of the naval officers. It was Captain George Vancouver, who had the idea and dedicated it to honor his fellow countryman, Alleyne Fitzherbert and Vancouver named the three other volcanoes, Mount Hood, Mount Rainier and Mount Baker for the other British Naval Officers as well. Captain George Vancouver is known as the British Royal Navy, a seafarer and also an explorer.
Mauna Kea Imagine the most breath- taking view. Do you think you could ever stop looking? If there was one place I 'd like to go, it would be Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea is a shield/ hotspot volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to go to Mauna Kea because of the beautiful summit, exciting topography, as well as the otherworldly drive up and down the mountain.
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.
Introduction The Glass House Mountains are an iconic part of Queensland. There are fourteen mountains, however, twelve were volcanoes. This report contains information such as how the glass house mountains were formed and what types of rocks are found at the volcanoes. How were the glass house mountains thought to have formed?
How would you like to live on the side of a volcano? On The Big Island of Hawaii, people can experience this during their vacation at KMC, a military camp located near the volcano Kilauea. There are currently three active volcanoes in the state of Hawaii, all of them being on or very close to the Big Island. Mauna Loa is the oldest of them, Kilauea is the most active, and Loihi is so young in comparison to the others that it hasn’t even breached the ocean’s surface. As of 2017, The Big Island is home to a population of 186,738 while 953,207 people live on the nearby island of Oahu.
The volcano slowly makes its way up to sea level and the submarine phase ends when it is shallowly submerged. The explosive phase begins when the volcano breaches the surface. Upon contact to air, a large amount of steam is produced and the lava becomes volcanic ash. Following the explosive phase is the subaerial stage which primarily consists of the “shield” shape forming and landslides. Following the shield stage is the post shield stage.
Exploring the Yellowstone Volcano – Atalanda Cameron Intro Hi, my name is Atalanda, and I am a Ranger here in Yellowstone. Today I’d like to talk to you about the Yellowstone super volcano, and the geological processes that shaped this area. The program will last about 20 minutes, and I am happy to stay longer to answer any questions after. If there are any junior rangers, I will sign your books and I encourage anyone else who would like to participate in our junior ranger program to pick up a book at our visitor’s desk.
There are three different types of volcanoes that can be formed. I think that Mt.Tambora is one of the biggest and strongest volcanoes ever seen although it erupted over 200 years
The eruption removed 1,300 feet of the summit leaving a horseshoe-shaped crater and a barren wasteland. This famous mountain got it 's name from Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest, they
When people think of segregation they think of what segregation was sixty years ago, people think of the type of segregation when African Americans were divided from whites or in other words restricted from specific things. Segregation has never disappeared but has changed dramatically since then. De facto segregation is still at large in today’s society. The type of segregation that is happening today is when a person or family chooses to move to a segregated area. They are practically forced out of their former town because they usually cannot afford bills and taxes and move to a town with lower bills.
On May 18th, 1980, Mount Saint Helen, a volcano in Washington erupted majorly. The eruption is the most studied volcano eruption. Mt. St. Helen was known as one of the most prestige volcanoes in the Cascade Range before its eruption on May 18, 1980. The eruption made a big blast that destroyed the northern part of the volcano, crushing millions of the trees below the mountain. The zone was further described as a big debris avalanche.
Popocatepétl 19° N, 98° W - Satsang Adhikari Popocatepetl is located in Puebla, Mexico. It is a steep-sided stratovolcano, with the elevation of 5,426 meters, which is a part of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt that extends 900 km from east to west across central southern Mexico. It is also one of the 452 active volcanoes surrounding the “Ring of Fire”. NASA considers Popocatepetl to currently be the planet’s “most riskiest volcano”.
Final Exam Mattie Parham Bryant & Stratton College HTHS 400: Disaster Planning and Management Dr. Markisha J. Woodson April 25, 2016 Compare and Contrast the various types of disasters that can affect healthcare facilities. Describe the effect that various types of disasters can have on the ability of a healthcare facility to effectively respond. A disaster in health care is an event that produces casualties beyond the number and severity for which a single hospital or prehospital emergency medical system can plan. A disaster would affect communities, surrounding localities, and regions.
These two plates push and shove each other causing small tremors throughout which can cause landslides,volcanic eruptions and once in a couple years, quakes with devastating results. The strongest earthquake recorded occurred in 1991 with a measure of 7.6 on the Richter scale. This earthquake left 4 dead and buildings as well as bridges and road were completely destroyed. If another Earthquake occurs, the coastal cities would be the most affected ones as they are closer to the plates.
