Module Two Visual Art 100 Journal - Which one would be the most fun to explore‚ and why? I feel that visiting the Ancient remains of Pompeii would be the most fun and interesting to explore out of the small list. My reasoning for this is fairly simple. In 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius erupted‚ it buried the entire city in heavy volcanic ash that actually preserved majority of the city’s contents for a long period of time. Based on the photos and virtual tour‚ the city was indeed preserved very well

How do you think the principle of uniformitarianism accounts for occasional catastrophic events such as meteorite impacts‚ huge volcanic eruptions‚ or great earthquakes? Because uniformitarianism shows us that if our earths plates are moving today‚ they were moving in the past. This moving of the plates causing things such as earthquakes. In what ways do geologic processes affect your daily life? Geology is the study of earth‚ which is where we live. Understanding geology and how it works‚ helps

Acid Rain Acid rain occurs when Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) is released into the atmosphere by electricity generation‚ motor vehicles‚ factories and by wildfires and volcanoes. Once released‚ the sulphur dioxide reacts with water to produce sulphuric acid. This has a pH of approximately 2-3 pH. This has a dramatic effect on water dwelling wildlife. Most water dwelling creatures can’t withstand water more acidic than pH 5. This causes the mass loss of life of animals such as trout‚ perch‚ frogs and mayflies

Ulysses in Dante’s The Inferno Dante places many figures of Greek mythology‚ Roman antiquity‚ and some political enemies in Hell. For some of these people his reasoning suits their punishment‚ for others it doesn’t‚ and for some we don’t know enough about them to verify their placement. Ulysses is placed in the eighth circle of Hell and in the eighth bolgia with the evil counselors for his acts in the Trojan War. Dante’s reasoning behind his placement was unjust and Ulysses does not deserve the

Professor Radcliffe Geology 1 Lab Report December 10‚ 2012 Geology of the Caribbean Islands Have you ever wondered how the famous tropical land masses located in Central America‚ known as the Caribbean Islands‚ came to existence? Well geologists have dated some of the rocks in the islands such as‚ Cuba and Trinidad‚ as far back as the Jurassic time period. This means the rocks formed about 145-200 million years ago‚ therefore the eldest islands from the Caribbean date way back to the time

If you have closely observed what is happening to the Earth over the past decade and a half‚ week in and week out‚ you may take a dark view of the future. People are not looking after the environment. The Earth is under threat as it has never been before. From the activities of a world population which doubled from three to six billion in four short decades and will probably increase by three billion more. These activities are now wiping out ecosystems and species across the world. • The

Denudation Processes While volcanic activities are a mountain’s building process‚ denudation processes are trying to level them down. Denudation includes processes which removes rock debris and carrying them to a new location. These processes happen through gravity‚ wind‚ ice and water. In the Tongariro Volcanic Centre‚ winds are an effective denudation agent because the mountain top gales are frequent and severe. Winds can transport and deposit debris. They carry with them fine silts and sand

There have been many disasters movies from Hollywood‚ and San Andreas is another disaster film. This movie is about how an earthquake started in the Hoover Dam (Clark County‚ Nevada)‚ but then it spread out to San Francisco and a Tsunami came.

VulcanicityVolcanoes mostly occur at plate margins. They can also occur at hot spots and in rift valleys. The most active volcanic zone is the Pacific Ring of Fire around the Pacific plate. Here plates are colliding or separating. At active points on these plates volcanic mountains are formed‚ e.g. Nazca Plate and South American Plate‚ where plates separate‚ e.g. Pacific and Nazca Plate and in rift valleys‚ e.g. African Plate‚ Kenya. The most active area on the globe is the western rim of the Pacific
