I am a daredevil like you wouldn't believe, and I want to hike volcanoes. What kind of protective gear should I invest in, if any?
Im not too knowledgeable about gear but I do know a lot about volcanoes. They happen when the crust of a planet ruptures which allows gas and lava to escape.
Oh yeah, now that's what I'm TALKING about! In the lava, will there be large chunks of rocks floating that I can jump around on?
I wouldnt recommend doing that because of the heat. YOu can find volcanoes where the tectonic plates diverge. Most are underwater.
Oh I'm not worried about the heat. I tan easily. Underwater volcanoes, huh? Should I be worried about getting the bends?
-called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another.
Erupting volcanoes can pose many hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. One such hazard is that volcanic ash can be a threat to aircraft, in particular those with jet engines where ash particles can be melted by the high operating temperature; the melted
It was good to get your letter. I find that when one is blind one misses one's friends.
You ask if I am doing any writing. The answer is "almost none"... It is not that this new job of mine is impossibly onerous. Far from it. My complaint is the other way about. If and when you come to see me, which I do hope will not be too far hence, I can tell you what it feels like to go into low gear when one has
