CFCs have useful properties such as coolant liquids in refrigerators and aerosol sprays but studies in the 1980s revealed that they are the cause of destroying the Earth’s ozone layer. How was this problem addressed? Introduction Halogen derivatives are new compounds acquired when one or multiple hydrogen atoms of acyclic hydrocarbons are exchanged for an…

Earth day is an annual day when events are held globally to increase recognition and appreciation of the earth`s herbal environment. Earth day reminds us that we all share an identical planet. We are accountable for what and how we use it. Earth day is celebrated in more than one hundred seventy-five nations every year.…

Introduction The aim and reasoning of this report relate to and is to determine whether life can be held on the moon by research and knowledge. It will discuss the necessary information that evolves around the topic (can we live on the moon). This assignment will focus on the essentials of life as well. We…

Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, are a lot more explosive than other volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes are one of the most dangerous types of volcanoes. The large, cone-shaped volcanoes form on subduction zones called plate boundaries. The magma contains more silica making it more viscous. The thick, viscous magma plugs up the volcano and causes pressure…

The earth is made up of three main layers namely the crust, the mantle, and the core. The crust is a thick solid rock, the mantle also referred to as magma is a thick molten rock and the core has an eccentric slid surrounded by liquid. Temperatures inside the core are very high (about 50000C),…

Volcanoes have lava in them that is really hot and dangerous to be around or touch.There lava builds up and makes a burst that is called an eruption.Volcanoes can be found in many different places but are usually found around the Ring of Fire.They also are found on the borders of places because they have…

Mount Merapi is located in Central Java in Indonesia. It’s inside the Ring of Fire it’s on the destructive plate boundary between the Indo-Australian and the Eurasian plate. It’s the second most active volcano in the nation. The volcano is 2 930 m high and 32 km wide. The volcano has been around for 400…

More time is taken to respond to a volcano eruption and this depends on the distance from the volcano. In the same perspective, fewer dangers are encountered when people are located further from the area of the volcano. Around the volcano area, the potential and immediate dangers include damage from a volcano, heat blast, flying…

An Earthquake also known as tremor or quake, an Earthquake is the behavior by the earth’s surface blocks to suddenly slide past one another casing tearing of the blocks. The plane from which the block slides from is refferred to as fault plane. The position that is below the earhs surface where the earthquake originated…

For centuries, people across different civilizations had been terrified by the display of power that volcanic eruptions present, and they interpreted them as a sign of wrath and vengeance of gods. Clearly, with the progress of the modern science, volcanoes have been demystified; particularly, the development of the plate tectonics theory in the 1960s has…
