Considering the history of Mt. St. Helens and Kilauea volcanoes and your knowledge of volcano types in different tectonic settin
gs, if you had to live on a volcano, which of the following would you choose if safety was your only concern? a. Mt. Spurr in the Aleutian volcanic arc
b. Mauna Loa in Hawaii, on the Big Island of Hawaii near Kilauea
c. Mt. Rainier in the Cascades just north of Mt. St. Helens.
d. Mt Fujiyama in the Japanese island arc.
If safety was my only concern, I would choose Mt. Fuji. Mt. Spurr in the last few years has been arising the color concern code since the number of earthquakes has increased in the zone; making it more dangerous. Mauna Loa is a volcano that keeps erupting to this date. It is part of the decade volcanoes program, which encourages the study of the most dangerous volcanoes. Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. Finally, we end up with Mt. Fuji that has become a cultural point in Japan, bringing millions of spectators and hikers. Mt. Fuji has become one of the worlds most beautiful wonders and complements the beautiful scene of the city of Tokyo.
The amount of heat they are exposed to has a lot to do with the inferences and observations that they make on the density of the earth's core. The inner core is the most compact due to the fact that they have a lot of direct exposure to heat and the gravity of the earth pressung down on it. The inner core is less subjected to those conditions.
Earthquakes are caused by the movement along the fault, which is found near the boundaries of two tectonic plates. The specific fault where plates slide against each other is known as the transform fault.
