After a few generations, memories fade and far distant future dangers seem completely unimportant. When you have known a place to be beautiful and benign for centuries, it is hard to imagine great danger.

What are the precautionary measures after volcanic eruption?

People in a volcano zone need to be removed until the ash and lava have finished coming out of the volcano. Homes and businesses need to be evacuated and cars are moved out of the way. The volcano will need to be done erupting before people are allowed back into the area.


Where there warnings of mt st helens?

there were many warnings about mount St.Helen if they had an earthquake it would trigger the volcano to erupt causing the people to know if it will erupt or not


What do many small earthquakes near a volcano mean?

Increases in seismic activity around a volcano are typically caused by the movement of magma below the surface into a magma chamber. This causes increases in pressure which leads to fracturing to the rock mass around the magma chamber causing small earthquakes. If the pressure continues to build it would ultimately force the volcano to erupt. As such the small earthquakes are potentially a warning sign of an impending volcanic eruption.


What is the name of the chain of volcanoes that form at an oceanic to oceanic plate boundary?

When there is oceanic-oceanic convergence, one layer of oceanic lithosphere is subducted. This not only introduces water, which lowers the melting temperature of the asthenosphere, but can create an island with a volcano. This occurs when the hot magma rises from the subduction zone and build up in size. This would not have any specific name. If the volcano was situated on a hot spot, however, it would form linear island chains.

What are the Hawaii lslands made of?

A fixed "hot spot" (magma/hot lava) accumulated under the tectonic plate in that area. Imagine a volcano under the sea floor there. The "volcano" would erupt and create an island. Over time, the tectonic plate would move but the "volcano" would not. The hot spot (volcano) would erupt again but on a different part of the tectonic plate.

Can a composite volcano form in a pond?

Not really. While there is nothing that would prevent a composite volcano from developing under an area where a pond happens to be, there is no pond big enough to contain a composite volcano. As soon as the volcano starts forming, the first significant eruption would probably fill in or blast away the pond.


What kind of boundary is a volcano?

volcanoes are caused by subduction. it could be an oceanic plate sub-ducting under a continental plate which would result in a coastal volcano or it could be an oceanic plate sub-ducting under another oceanic plate, which would result in a volcanic island.


Can you build an oil refinry over a volcano?

That would be pretty tricky to do. Given modern technology it's possible, but could it really be safe.


If Mt.Everest WAS a volcano what type would it be?

It would never be a volcano


What is the role of geology in site selection?

Geology provides the foundation of whatever you are going to build on the site. Certain areas of the USA have what is called karst topography ...so, you would not want to build in these areas. The earth caves in and underneath are artesian water wells. If you have sold bedrock, you can build tall buildings and "earthquake proof" them because you can drill deep down and place rods that will stabilize the building during quakes. You would not want to build a resort hotel right under a volcano..or on a sandy beach


What was used before wooden golf tees?

There would be a bucket of wet sand at the tee. The player would take a small amount, build it into a little volcano, and hit off of that.


Should you build an ammonia factory near a volcano?

That would likely not be a good idea. Ammonia is toxic in the concentrations produced by industry. So it would be ill-advised to build an ammonia factory uin an area prone to major natural disasters.


What effect would a volcano erupting under water in the ocean have on the landscape?

It would take a long time but eventually either a new island will form or if the underwater volcano is close enough to land a current island we become larger
