that left more than 25,000 people buried in ashes. That natural disaster almost destroyed all the population in Italy, but somewhere able to survive and escape. "Scientists estimate that more than 260,000 people have died in the past 300 years from volcanic eruptions and their aftermath” (Natural Disasters & Weather). Earthquakes have killed more than 10,000 yearly. Avalanches kill more than 150 people worldwide each year. Hurricanes, Cyclones and Typhoons kill more than 6,500 people annually. But the

Crimson Peak Crimson Peak is an American gothic romance/horror movie that came out in October of 2015. It was written and directed by Guillermo del Toro — whom is famous for producing other American movies such as: Hellboy, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Pacific Rim, Mama, and many more. Toro has always loved monsters, he considered them to “symbolize great power.” His new movie, Crimson Peak is “ about a house that has a memory and induces horror” (Biography.) A ghastly warning from a mother should

1. Introduction: The geologic cycle consists of three cycles which collectively play a role in the formation of the materials and processes on earth; the tectonic cycle, rock cycle and hydrological cycle. It is a continuous system involving many different aspects which must work together to achieve a natural balance. These cycles exchange energy and matter and whenever this occurs there is the potential for environmental damage due to extreme conditions (Nelson, 2016). The concept of uniformitarianism

associated with the Geologic Cycle The Geological cycle refers to a series of intertwined processes that are important for the formation and break down of physical Earth features. The processes that make up the Geological cycle are the tectonic cycle, the rock cycle, the hydrologic cycle and the biogeochemical cycle. There are a number of different environmental issues that are associated with the geological cycle. Most of these issues are naturally occurring and cannot be prevented. The Tectonic Cycle The

called, “the greatest exposure of the rock record on our continent.” The exposure of the “rock record” is not what draws tourists to the Grand Canyon, but it is what makes the canyon so spectacular to behold. The canyon, at its deepest is about 6,000 feet and at its widest it about 18 miles. According to the article I read, the canyon is a record of “deep” time, which means, it’s old. Powell and other geologists, knew there were three sections or “sets” of rocks that are exposed in the Grand Canyon

sedimentary rocks. Most garnet forms at convergent plate boundaries where shale is being acted upon by regional metamorphism. The heat and pressure of metamorphism breaks chemical bonds and causes minerals to recrystallize into structures that are stable under the new temperature-pressure environment. As these rocks are metamorphosed, the garnets start as tiny grains and enlarge slowly over time as metamorphism progresses. As they grow, they displace, replace, and include the surrounding rock materials

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

Caroline Burns 159001444 Museum Assignment 2 3) Basalt is an igneous and mafic rock that compromises most of the volcanic rocks. It is dark black and gray colored. It is rough and has an uneven rectangle-box shape. Basalt is from Somerset and is four point two billion years of age. Basalt is mostly composed of augite, plagioclase and olivine. Augite comes in many shapes – cylinder, square, rectangular - but is usually rough and grayish black. Plagioclase is whitish brown and usually has a cubic shape

this report is to explain and identify the three groups that rocks are classified into and how they are formed. Rocks can be classified as Igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary. Metamorphic rocks are formed when other rocks are hot or pressurised. The process of rocks changing is called metamorphism. Sedimentary rocks are formed by sediment that is left over time usually form the layers at the bottom of lakes and oceans. Sedimentary rocks are formed when sand, mud and pebbles get laid down in layers

The ode is a poetic form meant to praise or exult a certain individual, usually in regards to their athletic ability. Historically, there have been odes to Olympians, leaders, and even Grecian urns, but in Pablo Neruda’s poem “Ode to a Large Tuna in the Market,” he is commending a dead fish amidst a sea of spoiling vegetation. He praises the tuna for being the premier fish in the sea, and how even the dead fish is magnificent in comparison to the surrounding prosaic goods; Neruda insists it is a

Theaters are not the only place for musicals, the big screen has proven worthy of it as well. Almost everyone love to watch musical films. One of the reasons is that it involves catchy songs, that when you listen to it once, you would want to listen to it over and over again for the next couple of days, and even if the musical film is so old, it would make you want to rewatch it just to get into the songs. Another reason of course is the dance moves, musical films has songs on them, that involves

Rocky, A movie about how a simple man who is down on his luck, receives a life changing opportunity. The main character finds love, with a local shy girl. The story is a rags to riches tale, that takes place in a time period where the good in the world was often lost. The movie Rocky will inspire hope to any individual, who is down on their luck or an outcast to society. The film production was even an rejected my many. The main actor, Sylvester Stallone, had to write his own script and was the

I stepped on the rock and got the back of my foot wet in the chilling stream of water. “Come on Cody,” I said as I pulled him up over the ledge and then made my way up the creek bank. As I got up the bank I could smell the disgusting fume of recently blown up fireworks

A good leader may not be the kindest person, but the thing that matters the most is how they lead their nation. A national leader is someone who is confident, strong minded, physically strong, provides protection and provides supplies for their people. In Lord of the Flies, written by William Golding, Jack proves that he would make a better national leader than Ralph. Jack creates jobs and maintains them. He also provides safety for his people and he has an intelligent mindset of how to rule his

Film Music Review —Titanic Titanic is a beautiful love story happening on a sinking ship and an unparalleled success in the cinema, with 11 Oscar rewards won and countless nominations. It is a very expensive film to be made, and the first film to break the billion box office record. As I revisited this film, once again I was truly touched by the star-crossed lovers and the humanity in front of a disaster. Indeed, the world was moved by Titanic. It is considered to be the movie that ‘make men cry’

A small rock or just a collection of black sand can open up doors of hell for you! “She is Pele-honua-mea, Pele of the Sacred Land. She is Pele-‘ai’houna, Pele the eater of land, when she devours the land with her flames. She who rules the volcanoes of Hawai’i, and Mankind has no power to resist her. When Pele is heard from, her word is the final word.” Pele is the goddess of fire and volcanoes. Pele’s curse is a folklore about Pele giving bad luck to those who steal from her, it was invented in

subject; having a hands on approach with rocks and minerals. Soon, I was able to interpret paelo-environments using geological laws, rock types and fossils; this was engaging for me as the order in which the rocks were lithified and altered by other processes could be put together like a jigsaw puzzle; this stretched my understanding of the subject further.

ephemeral streams.” (Carrara 2014) The majority of the rock formation found in the park were formed from sediments from the crustaceous age (Carrara 2014) . The four most prevalent forms are

The clays and poorly consolidated rock make the badlands easily eroded (Graham, 2008). The Badlands National Park was formed from the deposition of these poorly consolidated rocks. After the rocks were deposited they experience a lot of erosion, and the erosion is what shaped the badlands into what we see today. In The Badlands National park you can see the Pierre
