Earthquakes and INFRASTRUCTURE, and it can also cause landslides and liquefaction. Tsunamis, which are large waves caused by earthquakes, can also cause widespread damage. Volcanoes are formed when magma, or molten rock, rises to the surface of the Earth. Magma can rise to the surface through cracks in the Earth’s crust, or it can erupt … Read more
The Unseen Forces: Exploring Endogenic Processes and Their Impact on Earth The Earth, a dynamic and ever-changing planet, is a testament to the interplay of internal and external forces. While the sun’s energy and atmospheric processes drive the external forces, the Earth’s own internal heat and pressure fuel the endogenic processes. These processes, often hidden … Read more
Interior of the earth- composition and physical conditions Core, mantle, and crust are divisions based on composition. The crust makes up less than 1 percent of Earth by mass, consisting of oceanic crust and continental crust is often more felsic rock. The mantle is hot and represents about 68 percent of Earth’s … Read more

Volcano is a place on the earth’s surface (or any other planet) where molten rock and gases are erupted. or hill or mountain built up by the eruption of molten rock.Volcanic eruptions are caused by magma (a mixture of liquid rock, crystals, and dissolved gas) expelled onto the Earth’s surface. Basaltic magmas tend … Read more
The Earth’s Fury: A Look at Earthquakes and Volcanoes The Earth, our seemingly stable home, is a dynamic and restless planet. Beneath its surface, immense forces are constantly at play, shaping landscapes and unleashing powerful natural phenomena. Among these, earthquakes and volcanoes stand out as dramatic reminders of the planet’s raw power. These events, while … Read more
Most of the knowledge we have about Earth’s deep interior comes from the fact that seismic waves penetrate the Earth and are recorded on the other side. Earthquake ray paths and arrival times are more complex than illustrated in the animations, because velocity in the Earth does not simply increase with depth. Velocities generally … Read more
