Five5difference between volcanic and limestone island?
Volcanic islands have black sand beaches whilst Limestone (coral) islands have white sand beaches.Volcanic islands have fertile soil and in Limestone islands' is not as fertile as Volcanic islands.Volcanic islands tend to be tall whilst Limestone tend to be flat.Volcanic islands have many sulphur springs whilst Limestone islands have little or no sulpher springs.Limestone islands are formed from 'Secretions'of the sea and Volcanic islands are formed from igneous rock and lava.THANK YOUHOPE YOU LEARNED FROM IT!
What is the difference between volcanic island and limestone island?
volcanic islands have black sand beaches, have sulfur springs and have fertile soil, but limestone islands have white sand beaches, have little or no sulfur springs, and the soil is not as fertile as volcanic islands.
How was fertile soil formed in Hawaii?
From the volcanic ash
What type of soil does Japan have?
Because Japan is a group of islands that was formed by volcanic material which contains lots of minerals that are found deep in earth that are necessary for plants to grow.
How does antarctic soil differ from soil found in warmer wetter climates?
antarctic soil differs from other soil because it is formed from volcanic rocks
How are coral islands?
Coral islands are formed by water going through sandy soil when it goes at the bottom the coral island is formed.
American settlers in Hawaii quickly discovered that the climate and soil of the islands were suitable for growing?
When American settlers arrived in Hawaii, they discovered that the islands were humid, and the soil was volcanic. The combination of the volcanic soil and the humid weather made Hawaii suitable for growing crops including macadamia nuts and sugar cane.
Good effects of volcanoes?
Volcanoes help enrich soil for farming and in some cases provide reservoirs for the storage of ground water. Moreover the earth's valuable resources are formed in volcanoes.
How do volcanoes affect Hawaii?
Hawai'i was formed from volcanoes. The shape of the islands (volcanic mountains) affects the weather. Volcanic activity causes eartquakes, eruptions on the Big Island cause it to continue to grow, cause fires, close roads. Gasses from the volcanoes can cause vog (volcanic smog) and volcanoes have produced fertile soil in Hawai'i.
How can volcanoes be beneficial?
Volcanoes can form new islands and expand land area (although it takes a while before the new land can be used for anything). The Hawaiian islands are all of volcanic origin for example. Soil formed from erosion of volcanic materials such as ash and cinders tends to be rather fertile since it is loaded with minerals and other nutrients and holds water remarkably well.
What are the beneficial products of volcanic activity?
The beneficial products of volcanic activity is that the earth/soil will be filled with nutrients. yeah and: the hawaiian islands geothermal energy and what was written up above sheep_dog/is*me (:
What are the benefits of a volcano erupting?
The positive effects of volcanic eruptions are that volcanic eruptions can build new land masses, such as the Hawaiian Islands. They also enrich soil and their help in creating earth's early atmospheres and minerals.
