Investigating Plate Tectonics, Earthquakes, and Volcanoes by Michael Anderson
ISBN: 9781615305049

Publication Date: 2011-08-30

Some of the planet's most destructive forces are caused by the same factors that helped shape much of the Earth as it is today. Plate tectonics, or movement of the Earth's outer layers, can occur in a number of different ways and produce a range of results, some minor and others far more considerable or devastating. Distinct maps, interesting sidebars, and detailed illustrations of the Earth's layers are included in this volume, which details the motion of the planet and the nature and study of earthquakes and volcanoes.
The Volcanic Earth by Lin Sutherland
ISBN: 9780868400716

Publication Date: 1995-01-01

Lava fountains and lava bombs, glowing clouds and geysers are just some of the dramatic phenomena featured in this comprehensive, colourfully illustrated account of the Earth's volcanism past, present, and future, with an Australian focus

A volcanic "hotspot" is an area in the mantle from which heat rises as a thermal plume from deep in the Earth. High heat and lower pressure at the base of the lithosphere (tectonic plate) facilitates melting of the rock.

How Does the Lithosphere Interact with Other Earth Systems? In this informative video, we will examine the fascinating interactions between the lithosphere and other Earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere. Understanding these relationships is essential for grasping how our planet functions as a whole. We will discuss how the movement of tectonic plates can influence weather patterns and climate, as well as how water shapes the landscape through erosion and sediment deposition.

Volcanoes can erupt explosively and effusively. We will have a look at these two eruption styles in the video.

A Quick Look at subduction zones where oceanic and continental crust collide.

Magma Composition: Magma is a molten mixture of rock-forming minerals, gases, and dissolved substances that exists beneath the Earth's surface. Its composition plays a crucial role in determining the behavior and characteristics of volcanic eruptions. Magma composition is primarily influenced by two factors: the relative proportions of silica and the presence of other elements, including gases.
