Ol Doinyo Lengai is another native major landform to Tanzania; it is the only volcano in the world to produce netrocarbonatite lava. Tanzania is bordered by the Indian Ocean and contains many important rivers and lakes. Lake Victoria is considered the largest lake in Africa‚ and it is theorized to be the source of the Nile River. Lake Tanganyika is the second deepest lake in the

Alaska is home to one of the most beautiful and tallest mountains in North America. Denali‚ previously known as Mt. Mckinley is the tallest peak in North America standing at 20‚320 feet(Denali). In relation to plate tectonics‚ the Pacific plate has been subducting underneath for millions of years. Therefore‚ causing land surfaces in Alaska to continually compress and fold. Due to the tectonic movement‚ this causes the mountain to be shifting upward. Denali is also surrounded by many glacier-clad

When the magma gets near the surface of the earth it sometimes erupts violently‚ but can also erupt without violence. | | A volcano is actually an opening or a fissure‚ in the Earth’s crust‚ through which lava or molten rocks‚ ash and toxic gases present below the surface of Earth are discharged by a sudden‚ violent eruption. Sometimes‚ it can be a mountain-like structure with a bowl-shaped depression at the top‚ through which these substances are expelled

suicides since the 1950s (TOFUGU). Aokigahara is a forest that spreads across the northwest base of Mount Fuji‚ it is less than 100 miles from the west of Tokyo. This forest is growing on top a lava that flowed during the eruption of Mt. Fuji in 864. The forest has been here around 1‚200 years ago. Although the lava that flowed from Mt. Fuji turned the place into a burnt-out wasteland‚ it later on cooled down. This is when the trees began to bud anew and the forest was regenerated. For a forest‚ which

killed around 91‚00 people. Mt.Tambora is a composite cone volcano and is still active today. The 1815 eruption consisted of mostly volcanic ash‚ which was so large it went up into the stratosphere and spread throughout the earth. Within seconds‚ ash‚ lava and molten rock (pyroclastic flow) started to speedily come down the volcano. The temperature of that was about 1‚250°C. The pyroclastic flow totally destroyed a small Indonesian town‚ just a few kilometers from Mt.Tambora. The entire population of

To answer the following question: Relate the generation of all three rock types (igneous‚ sedimentary‚ and metamorphic) to plate tectonics. I will start first‚ with igneous rocks and how does it relate to plate tectonics. Second‚ with sedimentary rocks and progressively keep on answering how all three types of rocks relate to plate tectonics. Will be giving as much information I learned from class. To assure‚ answer is fully answered. The igneous process begins when magma forms by melting at depth

There are 368 oreum on the island (※ oreum: It means ‘small mountain’ in Jeju dialect) and over 160 lava tubes are scattered on the island. It’s very rare to see a small island that has both oreum and caves in the world. The value of Jeju was proved as the island received as the island was designated Biosphere Reserve in 2002‚ World Natural Heritage
