Volcanoes are mountains that have an opening where molten lava flows down from the side. Most of these volcanoes ruin villages. Volcanoes are usually active and most people who live near one don’t know it. People mostly die from volcanoes.Where volcanoes occur is magma that rises to the surface at the edges of the plates, this means that the volcanoes are mostly spaced out around the Earth in long thin lines. A, plate edges stretch all the way around the […]
The composite volcano sometimes known as stratovolcanoes are steep symmetrical cones that make up some of the most famous mountains for example Mount St. Helens, Mount Fuji and Mount Rainier. These volcanoes have formed over hundreds of thousands of years through multiple eruptions. Composite volcanoes are fed by a conduit system which taps into a reservoir of magma deep within the earth says universetoday.com. This magma can erupt out of several vents across the composite volcano’s flanks or from a […]

Japan dealt with such drastic damage that they are still in recovery from the damages. Many […]
It is no surprise to Earth Scientists that Alaska sees so many earthquakes annually. With two tectonic plates meeting under a subduction zone there is bound to be a great deal of seismic activity. There is a long history of quakes, some taking several lives, that has become a lifestyle more than an occurrence. Alaska has one of the most beautiful landscapes and one of the most dangerous natural disasters that occur all too often. With the help of many […]
It’s 5:12 AM, April 18, 1906. Extremely loud low pitched rumbling wakes many people up from their sleep.

INTRODUCTION In this report I will write about earthquakes. An interesting fact about earthquakes is that they are earthquakes. Another interesting fact is that when people along long long wen the earth started to shake . I learned that they are some kind of machine that measures if a earthquake is going to kame they are used by scientist because they are the ones to alert the people from the city . I will explain about where you can’t […]
Throughout centuries in our nations have experienced different natural disasters that have required recovery and creating new emergency assistance program. On September 6, 2018, in northern island of Hokkaido, Japan an earthquake magnitude of 6.7 reaching the maximum of 7 on Japan’s seismic intensity scale in some areas. According to International Civil Defense Organization (2018), earthquake or seismic tremor is a good description of the natural phenomenon which suddenly strikes an area causing damage that varies according to the intensity […]
