Where is volcanoe natural disaster most likely to occur?
Volcanic natural disasters are most likely to occur around the ring of fire, a region in the Pacific Ocean where tectonic plates meet. Countries such as Japan, Indonesia, the Philippines, and parts of the United States (like Hawaii and Alaska) are at higher risk of experiencing volcanic activity.
Why are geysers in the west?
Geysers are mainly found in the western United States, particularly in places like Yellowstone National Park, due to the presence of a unique combination of factors such as volcanic activity, underground water sources, and specific geological formations. These conditions create the ideal environment for geysers to form and erupt.
What are the five Hot Spots on the Earth?
There are more than just five hot spots throughout the whole Earth. There is the Tasman hot spot, the Hawaii hot spot, the Galapagos hot spot, the Yellowstone hot spot, Easter Island hot spot, Bouvet hot spot, St. Helena hot spot, the Canary Islands hot spot, and then Iceland hot spot.
What type volcano is Yellowstone?
At Yellowstone, we see the caldera or what we call a supervolcano. The volcanic profile of Yellowstone in its past is one of a massive eruption that dwarfs anything we understand in current knowledge. Use the link below to the Wikipedia post on the supervolcano to learn more.
Which of the hawaiian islands has the greatest chance of having a volcanic eruption?
The Big Island of Hawaii has the greatest chance of having a volcanic eruption, as it is home to the active Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanoes. These volcanoes have a long history of eruptions and are closely monitored by scientists for any signs of activity.
Did the moon lose its volcanic activity because of its weak gravity?
No. The moon lost its volcanic activity because it is much smaller than Earth and so lost its internal heat more quickly.
Countries that are found in volcanic areas are more to earthquakes?
Countries located in or near volcanic areas are more prone to earthquakes due to the movement of tectonic plates. The volcanic activity can also contribute to seismic activity in these regions. Additionally, the presence of magma chambers and the release of pressure during volcanic eruptions can further trigger earthquakes.
Why the pacific ocean has so many trenches and Atlantic ocean does not?
more volcanic activity
What is the world's largest active volcano crater?
The largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa, Hawaii, with an area of 5271 km2, more than half of the "big island" of Hawaii. It is also the largest in volume, at more than 75,000 km3. The Mauna Loa (long island) ridge extends for more than 120 km, but at a slightly lower elevation than Mauna Kea to the north.The largest volcanic crater in the continental US is the Yellowstone supervolcano in Yellowstone National Park, in NW Wyoming in the US. The currently dormant caldera is approximately 3960 km2 -- 55 by 72 kilometers (34 by 44 miles)Another comparable volcanic crater (caldera) on Earth is Lake Toba on Sumatra Island, Indonesia. It is approximately 3000 km2 -- 100 kilometres long and 30 kilometres wide, and up to 505 meters (1666 feet) deep. matthew will get it wrong
Why does the moon have little water?
Because there is no active volcanic activity on the moon. For a planet or moon to develop water, it needs to have active volcanic activity. The steam from erupting volcanoes creates an atmosphere and condensation which, over millions of years, creates oceans. We know the moon had active volcanic activity millions of years ago, because there are pockets of ice on the moon. However, volcanic activity on the moon is now non-existent, therefore, no more water can be produced from volcanic steam.
What precious materials can be found in volcanic areas?
Precious materials that can be found in volcanic areas include diamonds, opals, gold, and various gemstones. These materials are formed through volcanic activity and can be discovered in regions with volcanic deposits or where volcanic activity has occurred.
How many people have died in Hawaii because of the volcanic eruptions?
81
