Hello, my name is Jamerson, I am a 5th grader at [|M.I.C.D.S]. in [|St.Louis]Missouri. I am doing volcanoes for my [|natural disasters] project. On my wiki you will find facts and information about volcanoes from how they form to where they are to how they impact human lives. There are so many interesting things about volcanoes, if you keep reading you will know almost everything about them by the time you are done. You will learn that there are two types of[| volcanoes] underwater ones and the ones that are on land, some of them spit out magma and lava, and some spit out gas and ash. You will also learn about what happens when volcanoes go off, and how they hurt the humans that live to close to them. You will hear about the horrible happenings in pompeii and how their city was wiped out. media type="custom" key="12199910" Weather station at M.I.C.D.S.

[] Historical Event

The boom was heard from all over the ancient city, shoppers were thrown off the street. Everybody started looking for the source of the loud noise. People started pointing to the sleeping volcano that was Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius had been sleeping for 800 years before it exploded again, wiping out the whole city of Pompeii and burring it in ash. [|Pompeii] was a city next to [|Herculaneum] and Stabiae in the Bay Of Naples. About 20,000 people lived there along with many animals. This is the timeline of the event at 9:00-10:00 AM the eruption began at 1:00-5:30 PM the ash and pumice rock started making roofs and houses cave in. There were six surges the 1st and 2nd were at 1:00-2:00 AM the 3rd at 6:00AM the 4th and 5th at 7:30-7:45 and the 6th surge the most deadly at 8:00 AM. The surges buried the city under ash killing many and destroying everything. Soon the ancient city was forgotten and was waiting to be discovered again.

Even though Pompeii was destroyed, the scientists today can predict a volcanic eruption. Today scientists use seismographs and gravimeters to detect the flow of lava which can also tell them when a volcano is going to erupt. When the scientists see that a volcano is going to erupt and that it may effect a human environment, they send out a warning. Most of the time the people listen to the warnings and evacuate, but sometimes people do not listen and don't evacuate. What you can do to prepare for a volcanic eruption is to make an evacuation plan and look at it every month. You can also stock up on supplies like flashlights and batteries, a battery operated radio, first aid kit and cans of food and water. You should also buy disposable breathing masks and goggles for each family member. You should always be prepared for a disaster.

Titan is Saturn’s largest moon. Titan may have a warm interior and ice volcanoes may have formed on it, possibly creating it’s rough look. Or Titan may have a cold interior and its rough look could have just been made by weather. But new evidence suggests that there are no volcanoes on Titan, and that Titan’s rough surface is made up of weather impacts. Also that Titan has a cold interior and not a warm one. NASA thought that volcanoes on Titan were created by the liquid methane lakes on the surface. But really there would be no way for lava to form with Titans cold interior. Which means that if there was a volcano it would have no lava which means it can’t erupt. Which means it would not really be a real volcano. Titan has a dense atmosphere which makes it surface hard to study and hard to get pictures of. Without any straight evidence it would be hard to see if there are any volcanoes. But scientists at NASA said that if they can’t study surface they should study the interior. That is what they did. The scientists figured out that Titan has a cold interior making it impossible to have have a volcano. Scientist are still trying to study the surface of Titan to reenforce their theory that Titan can’t have any volcanoes due to it’s cold interior. But like any other planet Titan is always changing and who knows there could be a new volcano on Titan.

I learned that Saturn has moons. I also learned that there are not volcanoes on Titan and that Titan has a cold interior.

This is related to science because this event happens in space.
