Mauna Kea Imagine the most breath- taking view. Do you think you could ever stop looking? If there was one place I 'd like to go, it would be Mauna Kea. Mauna Kea is a shield/ hotspot volcano located on the Big Island of Hawaii. I want to go to Mauna Kea because of the beautiful summit, exciting topography, as well as the otherworldly drive up and down the mountain.
The volcano I pick was Mt Mauna Loa. This volcano has erupted about 32 times for the eruption of 1984. Mauna Loa is about 600,000- 1 million years old and hasn’t erupted as much as Kilauea and when it erupts it produces huge rivers of lava and threatens towns nearby. Mauna Loa is the second tallest volcano in the world. The elevation is 13,679 feet high.
Earthquakes continued for years as the magma chamber inside Vesuvius inflated. Finally, in August of A.D. 79, eruptions began. Fine-grained ash, then coarse white pumice, and later gray pumice, rained down on the city of Pompeii for 12 hours. Then, the eruption changed. Explosions created hot avalanches of rock, ash, and gases that sped down the volcano’s flank.
The central idea of “Mount Vesuvius: Day of Disaster” is about the destruction Mount Vesuvius left on the city of Pompeii in 79 A.D. and the challenges the citizens who lived there faced. The article details that Mount Vesuvius erupted without warning to the townspeople. Although, there were signs of an eruption people didn’t have the advancement to understand them. People ran from their homes to escape the poisonous gasses floating in the air and ran for their lives as the pumice chased behind them. The fortunate ones who made it out were left with nothing but the clothes on their back, while the not so lucky ones were buried alive under the incinerating lava.
It is a time honored tradition that nearly everyone in the United States does. We end up going to Las Vegas, the city of sin, so that we can have a weekend, or week of fun under the sun of Nevada. Parties, gambling, drinking, and more happens daily in the jewel of the desert. Much like the modern day jewel of the United States, ancient Rome also had a jewel of its own, known as Pompeii. In this city, much like Las Vegas, parties, gambling, drinking, and more happened every day around the clock; however, unlike Las Vegas, Pompeii was also a hub of trade and business.
There are many natural disasters that affect the world, for example, volcanoes. Mount St. Helens is known to be the most active volcano in the Cascade Range in Washington; effecting the people and the state. It was first recognized as a volcano in 1835! Before the eruption on May 18,1980, Mount St. Helens was a beautiful symmetrical cone, 3,000 meters above sea level. For most of the 20th century, many people viewed this mountain and recreation area as a beautiful and peaceful place, but after the volcano erupted in 1980 that view point was shattered.
Pompeii, Italy is a city lost in time. Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, the city was buried along with most of its inhabitants. The daily lives of the people of Pompeii can be predicted, but full assurance is not possible. For the quaint city at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, time stands still. Many archeologists and history experts have explored the remains of Pompeii to gain a better insight on the lives of the deceased.
Thousands of people died, the city was wrecked and fires were set aflame. The earthquake happened at 5:13 in the morning on April 20, 1906. The earthquake destroyed the city hall and many more buildings that took a long time to build. It had killed many people and started oil leaks. The leaks led to fires that blazed upon the city and killed many more.
However, the eruption on May 18th was a true surprise. Within minutes, the mountain went from calm and quiet to become one of the greatest powerful natural disaster ever recorded in the U.S-
Since the Mt. Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii many people died. Mt. Vesuvius erupted in Pompeii. Pompeii was destroyed then kept in a time capsule. Allisons findings may also carry over to other Baman towns. Pompeii is one of the most famous archaeological sites.
What are some of the devastating effects such an eruption could have had on the surrounding regions? If not caused by the eruption of Thera, what were some other explanations for the ca.15th cent. BC destruction of Minoan palaces in Crete? Megan Billy Roman Art & Architecture Prof. Sarah M. Harvey Sept 19 2014 Reading Response: Doumas
Malcom X once said, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” Most students in the United States have spent twelve years preparing to go to college. I’m included in that majority and I want to utilize my education to pursue a career. College is a stepping stone that transitions students from high school to the adult world. I believe that college is a transition that will offer the criteria I need to become a screenwriter and a professional writer.
The Roman Coliseum is an enormous amphitheater build by the Roman during the Flavium dynasty. The Coliseum only took 8 years to build, and its original name was Flavian Amphitheater. The construction of this new amphitheater was a political move to restore Rome to its former glory, after its recent civil war. It also prove that Emperor Vespasian gave respect to his people. The Coliseum became the center for entertainment in Rome and the rest of the empire.
