Explain the effects of earthquake and volcanic eruption on a selected Caribbean country

Geography

Trava [24]3 years ago

An earthquake and a volcanic eruption on Grenada will have devastating effects.

Explanation:

The Caribbean countries (in this case we'll speak about Grenada) that have active volcanoes tend to be small islands. This makes them ultra vulnerable if a natural disaster or combination of multiple natural disasters strikes. The reason as to why they are in such bad position if this occurs is because everything will be stranded on a very small area, with the full effect of the disaster being felt, no one will be able to get to a safe place, and it is hard for help to come from other countries.

A stronger volcanic eruption combined with an earthquake has the capability of destroying the majority or all of the infrastructure in this country. But it is not that that will be the most tragic, it will be that all of the population will be stranded and in danger to get injured or end up dead which can go so far that the country may even seize to exist.

1. Describe the most important diagnostic properties in igneous rocks.
azamat

1- The terrestrial lithosphere is composed almost of 80% by igneous rocks, they are also known as magmatic rocks and are formed at high temperatures due to magma solidification, they come from the superior mantle and terrestrial coast. Its texture is super resistant with significant hardness to obtain minerals and other derived materials. They can be divided into extrusive and intrusive.

2- Through experiments, Bowen has defined a sequence of mineral formation when a magma begins to cool. There are two types of magmatic differentiation defined by Bowen, the continuous series and the discontinuous series. In the continuous series the internal structure of the magma is not altered and all minerals have iron and magnesium, they are formed: aluminum, silica and sodium and calcium.

In the discontinuous series decreasing the temperature reacts the previously formed mineral with the existing liquid, and thus a new mineral with different internal structure and composition is formed. They are formed: olivine, pyroxena, amphibole and biotite.
