Right bBefore the eruption there was a earthquake of 5.0 magnitude that helped realise the pressure that was built up over time (Becker para. 12). Though the main event was when the volcano erupted, this earthquake was a key event that lead to the eruption. “This Eruption eEventually took the lives of sixty-one people and an estimated 2 million birds, fish, and animals; twenty-six lakes and 241 kilometers of freshwater streams” (Becker

happening to the earth. It is an environmental system, but we don’t have control over it obviously. So how can we be the only party who are blame for environmental change? The nature play it’s rule too, we can’t deny that. For example, earth quick’s, volcanos, mini earth quick’s, and hurricanes are considered as natural disaster too.

an extensional boundary. The second type of tectonic plates are Subduction tectonic plates. Subduction tectonic plates are an oceanic plate that moves under a continental plate. Subduction tectonic plates cause those most violent earthquakes and volcano eruptions. When the oceanic and continental plate converge, they sink into mantle and cause the volcanic eruptions to take place. The last type of tectonic plates are Transform tectonic plates. Transform tectonic plates slide back and forth against

In Lab 2, we studied the Earth’s crust and the processes that it goes through over times which relates to the theory of plate tectonics, as well as boundaries, hotspots, and forces. We begin with the PLate Tectonic Theory which developed along with many other theories to describe the world’s processes and common natural occurrences. In the theory, it describes how the Earth’s lithosphere is divided up into many different plates that push and pull which affects the creating of many of the Earth’s
