A Guide to In-Line Lists

A Guide to In-Line Lists A Guide to In-Line Lists A Guide to In-Line Lists By Mark Nichol This post portrays how to sort out in-line records, those that happen inside a sentence, when contrasted with vertical records, those composed by separating the things on the rundown from one another, recognized by numbers, letters, or different images, on continuous lines. (Vertical records will be portrayed in a different post.) An in-line rundown may comprise of a lot of words, expressions, or statements, or a mix of the three. The least difficult in-line list is one that comprises of single word things: â€Å"The shades of the American banner are red, white, and blue.† (Style guides vary on whether the comma going before and, called a sequential comma-or, now and again, an Oxford comma-is essential, yet reliable use assists scholars with abstaining from making vaguely sorted out sentences.) Increasingly unpredictable records welcome mistakes. For instance, in the accompanying sentence, the language structure of the rundown things isn't steady: â€Å"Children brought up in a customary two-parent family unit will in general be truly and genuinely more beneficial, more averse to utilize medications and liquor, participate in wrongdoing, or become pregnant outside of marriage.† One can examine the sentence by changing over it into an early on express followed by a vertical rundown. Note how the things are not equal in structure: Kids brought up in a customary two-parent family unit will in general be genuinely and sincerely more advantageous more averse to utilize medications and liquor take part in wrongdoing become pregnant outside of marriage. An actually right correction follows: Kids brought up in a conventional two-parent family unit will in general be genuinely and sincerely more beneficial more averse to utilize medications and liquor more averse to take part in wrongdoing more averse to get pregnant outside of marriage. Be that as it may, the reiteration of the expression â€Å"less likely to† is diverting and is repetitive to â€Å"tend to be,† and assist modification of this vertical rundown is prescribed in the event that it is to be changed over back to an in-line list. Since the four components in this sentence are not reliably upheld by action words or action word phrases, it is ideal to isolate the main thing from the remainder of the things, bringing about a sentence comprising of two components that incorporate models the primary model remaining all alone, and the other three held as a three-thing list: â€Å"Children brought up in a conventional two-parent family unit will in general be genuinely and sincerely more beneficial and are more averse to utilize medications and liquor, take part in wrongdoing, or become pregnant outside of marriage.† On the off chance that at least one components in an in-line list incorporate a comma, a more grounded accentuation mark, the semicolon, must be utilized to explain the association of the sentence. This is genuine when at any rate one component incorporates a solitary comma that sets off, for instance, the name of a city and the name of a state, as in this model: Unordinary names of urban areas and towns incorporate Cut and Shoot, Texas; Truth or Consequences, New Mexico; and Rough and Ready, California. Semicolons are likewise called for when at least one things in an in-line list are themselves records, as appeared here: Abnormal names of urban communities and towns incorporate Cut and Shoot, Truth or Consequences, and Rough and Ready; Embarrass, Uncertain, and Waterproof; and Accident, Hazard, and Protection. Note that albeit a few journalists use semicolons to isolate things in a rundown when the things are long and complex, doing so is pointless. Consequently, the mediating accentuation checks in the accompanying model are securely changed over to commas: â€Å"Uncertainties remember the unpredictability for oil and gas costs; worries about the effect of financial authorizes in Russia to U.S. what's more, European markets; inquiries regarding log jams in China; and the impacts on U.S. monetary strategy coming about because of the move in power in the U.S. Senate in January 2015.† This is particularly evident if an extra proviso follows the last rundown thing, making the suggestion that the statement applies just to the last thing. Here, it is important to change over the semicolons after capacity and investors to commas: â€Å"If the CEO isn't eager to focus on the notice signs posted by the hazard the executives work; the prize framework isn't adequately offset with the drawn out premiums of investors; or the board isn't posing intense inquiries about the suspicions and dangers basic the system, it isn't almost certainly chance administration will have an effect at the critical second when a contrarian voice is needed.† Otherwise, the expression starting â€Å"it isn't probably chance administration . . .† would have showed up (in any event when originally read) to relate just to the expression starting â€Å"the board isn't posing intense inquiries . . . .† Additionally, semicolons are a bit much while isolating just two arrangements of rundown things, instead of at least three. In the accompanying model, or is adequate to recognize the two records, and the semicolon ought to be overlooked: â€Å"This system may traverse a few divisions for instance, legitimate, acquirement, and money; orâ marketing, deals, and client service.† Additionally, to help in recognizing things in a rundown, the things are now and again went before by successive numbers (or, every so often, lowercase letters) trailed by a nearby bracket as opposed to a period, as in this model: â€Å"The three types of rock are 1) molten, 2) transformative, and 3) sedimentary.† This strategy for association can be valuable for counting and setting off complex rundown things (or, on account of letters, offering choices), yet it is generally pointless, or a vertical rundown (without numbers or letters) might be a superior choice.

Sintered, steel fleece, punctured materials and fiber metal are among the permeable materials that have been progressively utilized in car commotion control. Following the assorted variety and assortment of permeable material attributes, the investigation of permeable media has end up being wide and fascinating. The survey starts with laying out and contrasting the models that are planned with be utilized in anticipating the crucial acoustical attributes that are material in car. The paper presents both the hypothetical, experimental and numerical displaying and shows how the models are utilized to decide the acoustic attributes of permeable materials. The scientific models demonstrate that the strong constituents of permeable material are inflexible and the liquid constituents are like that of a homogenous isotropic liquid that has been adjusted. The survey likewise thinks about the acousti cal portrayal of permeable materials and goes further to take a gander at the permeable materials displaying while at the same time having specific interests on permeable materials that are flexible. The major attributes of permeable materials are then delineated utilizing computational and test models . Presentation In car, absorptive materials have different applications in various areas. Safeguard cushions can serve viably in a few areas, for example, in the entryway board, column trim, main event and roar the floor covering.

It is the gooey misfortunes that outcomes in the transformation of vitality to warm while sound waves explore through the strands or pores that are interconnected in the material. A permeable material that is fortified with a boundary that is non-permeable behaviors the sound vitality in waves that are in type of structure-borne. The attributes which have the attractive impact on this wave structure are the basic misfortune and mass solidness (Allard, 1993,p. 56). Regarding car applications, retention is favored at frequencies that are lower while the weight and thickness are to be constrained. Permeable materials with wind streams opposition that are explicit yet extraordinary have been recognized as to accomplish the outcomes that are wanted. In any case, the activity of diminishing or expanding the given wind current obstruction so as to accomplish low recurrence results influence high recurrence exhibitions. The audit subsequently gives an introduction of various distinctive material’s considers which show such conduct. A few models, for example, the punishment approach show this conduct by recreating liquids inside and permeable districts encompassing the obstruction. Such models are anything but difficult to actualize and needn't bother with a body fitting or a particula r interface treatment. The models are effectively utilized in the presentation of new aloof control strategies that involve the execution of a permeable layer in the middle of the liquid and the blue-body to change the qualities of the limit layer. Such an inactive control model outcomes in regularization that is intense particularly with regards to high Reynolds numbers (Allard, 1992, p. 3349). Permeable materials come in two stages, to be specific; the stringy strong part named as the casing and the interstitial liquid situated in the pores coming about because of the casing. Following their low thickness, permeable materials can't be commonly used to make boundaries however are ordinarily applied really taking shape of materials that retain

Burton read the title story and I was like, I NEED this book in my life. I was right. (hardcover) Daisy Johnson Black Beauty by Anna Sewell: I know, I know, I’ve read it a thousand times before, but it’s one of those books that I keep coming back to. Plus.

But with Mignolas expressive art and masterful weaving of occult and folklore into an apocalyptic narrative, Im going to enjoy every second. S.W. Sondheimer My So-Called Bollywood Life by Nisha Sharma: This book is an absolute delight and I’m very much enjoying the twist of the main character, Winnie, walk the line between wanting a future of her own making and wanting to believe in romance and adoration of cultural tradition, that last something we don’t always see in YA or in romance. The characters are realistic in their strengths and weaknesses, their missteps and course corrections and I very much appreciate parental figures who, while strict are also reasonable and loving.

(library ebook) Jaime Herndon When Life Gives You Lululemons by Lauren Weisberger (SS, June 5): I admit: I loved The Devil Wears Prada, and when I heard about a book about Emily Charlton (from the original book) was coming out, I had to read it.

(egalley) Elizabeth Allen The Power by Naomi Alderman: Women have spent centuries being oppressed by men. The power has always resided with those who possess the most physical strength. But what if the playing field was not only evened out, but women suddenly had the higher ground?

(hardcover) Erin McCoy Hitting It by Kathy Lyons:  When I went to a bookish conference in April, I was finally able to pull together all the random bits of romance knowledge loose in my mind and realize that Kathy Lyons and Jade Lee are the same person.

In Hitting It,  the sensible heroine, Heidi, meets an up-and-coming baseball player, Rob, during a spring break trip to Florida. The two college students take to each other immediately but then go their separate ways after a very short liaison.

(galley) Elisa Shoenberger Archival Quality by Ivy Noelle Weir and illustrated by Steenz (Oni Press, March 2018): I found this YA graphic novel at my local comic book shop’s recommendations and fell in love.

So far the stories are proving quirky and queer in all the right ways. (egalley) Rachel Brittain Fresh Ink: An Anthology, edited by Lamar Giles (Crown Books for Young Readers, August 14): This collection of short stories created in collaboration with We Need Diverse Books is everything I wanted it to be. Sweet and touching and relatable and important. I’m only a few stories in, but I am already loving it.

So far my favorite story is “Meet Cute” by Malinda Lo, but I know there are going to be many more great ones to come. (egalley) Eileen Gonzalez The Big, Bad Book of Botany by Michael Largo (William Morrow): This is essentially an encyclopedia of cool plants and their various uses. It’s been sitting on my sister’s bookshelf for ages, and I finally snagged it out of boredom. It’s working out well, though. I’m always on the lookout for plant-based murder weapons…for my writing, of course. (paperback) Alison Doherty Hurts to Love You by Alisha Rai (Avon): Alisha Rai writes some of the best contemporary romance around, with intelligent characters, authentic love, and blush-inducing love scenes. The fact that her love stories are both diverse and feminist AF is big cherry on top. This continuation of her Forbidden Hearts series does not disappoint. Heiress Evie Chandler and tattoo parlor owner Gabriel Hunter both get their worlds turned upside down, spending a week together at a family wedding where just about everything goes wrong…except the feelings that grow between them.

It’s the story of a man riding in the Tour de France and it gets cycling right (I say as someone who never rode in the Tour but who did do some amateur racing). If you like cycling, you will love this. (paperback ARC) Alice Nuttall Black Dahlia, Red Rose by Piu Eatwell: It’s been, ooh, at least three weeks since I read some true crime, so I picked up Black Dahlia, Red Rose after it came up on my recommendations. I’m only a little way into the book, but it’s a very vivid and evocative depiction of Los Angeles and the people who played a part in attempting to solve this particularly grisly and baffling murder. I’m especially loving learning about Aggie Underwood, one of the very few female journalists who worked the crime beat. Priya Sridhar I Am Jazz by Jazz Jennings:  We rarely, rarely, get a happy real-life story in the mainstream about a transgender child with a supportive family who have fought the world to let her play on the girls soccer team and use the girls bathroom. Jazz didn’t just beat the odds; she and her family made their odds. Her writing is very eloquent, heartbreaking at times, and I can’t wait to finish. (library hardcover) Jessica Pryde His Cocky Valet by Cole McCade: There was no way I wasn’t going to read this book ASAP. Spite is quite the cure for writer’s block, apparently, and the speed at which this was written didn’t take away from the marvelous story. It’s my first Cole McCade/Xen Sanders book, but will definitely not be my last. (ebook) Kathleen Keenan Educated by Tara Westover: I’ve seen this book recommended everywhere, read an essay the author wrote for The Guardian, and had a trusted friend tell me it’s great. Time to read it! So far, Westover’s description of her survivalist Mormon childhood in rural Idaho has pulled me right in. (ebook)

Issue The case is about a large flower shop where the conflict between a manager and the two workers arose. The employer of the manager, James, pays him a salary of $100,000 per year to manage the business, which includes some 15 employees, including 2 cleaners and 6 flower arrangers. Two flower arrangers, Dan and Sam, have been pestering the manager for weeks about getting an increase in their hourly rate. Don’t waste time! Our writers will create an original "A Problem Question on Company Law" essay for you Create order The manager has repeatedly explained to Dan and Sam that he cannot agree to a pay rise without first speaking to James, and that as he is overseas, that will not happen until the end of the month. Dan and Sam are becoming increasingly frustrated with his refusal to consider their request. One Wednesday morning(the busiest day), Dan and Sam confront the manager and tell him that unless he agrees to increase their hourly rate by $5 per hour, they are going to walk out with the 4 other flower arrangers, leaving the manager to fulfil the orders on his own. The manager has no choice but to agree to their request, as there are four wedding orders that must be done today. The manager prom ­ises to adjust their pay as requested. Once the day is finished, you sit down and consider the ramifications. This essay argues that: Is the manager legally obliged to keep his promise? What are the legal remedies? If the manager did not agree to their terms, and they walked out, what would he has been able to do if the orders werenà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢t fulfilled and the business lost $10,000/-? Law Stilk v Myrick [1809] [1] is a contract law case of the English High Court on the subject of consideration. In his verdict, the judge, decided that in cases where an individual was bound to do a duty under an existing contract, that duty could not be considered valid consideration for a new contract. According to the Law of Employment [2] Eachcontract[[3]] of employment contains terms and conditions by which the parties of the contract i.e. empoyer and employee regulate their relationship. These terms may be in black white or spoken. More often, the appointment letters, job descriptions, policy manuals, workplace rules practicesare considered to be the part of terms of the contract. Such terms impose a legal binding on both of the parties of contract to perform their consideration in adequate manner. These terms can also include restrictions such as period of employment, amount of wage, serving of notice periods, etc Application According to the aforemetioned case, Stilk v Myrick [1809] and keeping in view the principle of precedent, the manager is not legally obliged to keep his promise, because there was no additional consideration, fulfilled by the workers who remained at the flower shop against the additional pay which they claimed. Before they start pestering the manager for the salary increase they had undertaken to do all that they could under all the circumstances at the workplace. They had sold all their services at the previous wage rate. Therefore, without looking to the policy of this agreement, it is void for want of extra pay for the same consideration which they committed before, and that the plaintiff can only recover the same, without making any claim for legal remedies. As discussed above, if the terms of agreement carries any binding of serving a fixed employment period or a notice period before leaving the employment then the employees could not blackmail the manager by saying that they will quite immediately, if no arise of pay is made by the manager. In this scenario, the employees will be liable to pay for the damages resulted by their breach of employment contract. Such damages can be calculated by two ways: The Expectation Interest [4] and The Reliance Interest [5]. Conclusion In view of above and the principle of precedent [6], it can be concluded that due to no offereing of any additional consideration from the end of flower arrangers and trying to blackmail the manager for promising them to pay extra wage, the promise made by the manager becomes null and void and has no legal value. Thus, the manager is not legally obliged to keep his promise and for any of the legal remedies.

Ethical And Social Responsibilities Of Apple - 1444 Words

In the corporate world, it is easy to think that the ultimate goal is to make profits. However, it is this type of thinking that can ultimately lead to the failure of an organization. When a company simply thinks of profits, it is likely to find itself in trouble with the government, with stockholders, and with the public. In today’s world, more so than ever, it is important for a company to thinking about its ethical and social responsibilities to its employees, its consumers, its shareholders, and to the general public. By focusing on ethical and social responsibilities, a company is likely to be able to gain recognition as a good employer, a good investment, and a good company to purchase products and services from.

Then, in 2013 there were reports of deaths of workers at the some of the same Chinese factories from fatigue, pneumonia, and other causes (Barboza, 2013). All of these poor conditions by its suppliers and factories overseas contradict the values that are set forth by Apple in their own ethical guidelines. Early in 2012, Apple announced that it would hire an outside agency to investigate the charges of forced overtime and child labor in its Chinese suppliers and factories, including other poor work conditions. While it appears on the surface that Apple was taking swift action in regards to these charges, it is clear that the abuse has been going on for some time and regular audits performed by Apple, or even routine check-ups on its suppliers would have uncovered at least the deplorable working conditions. Apple even admits that it was lax in its auditing procedures during the times when these issues were occurring, leading inquisitive minds to believe that it the company knew what was going on but only felt the need to address it once it had become public knowledge and began to hurt Apple’s image.

What is Ewen trying to understand in regards to the ‘politics’ of style and what are his research questions? Which methods does he use to conduct this analysis? Ewen in his study of style is trying to understand how this came to be of â€Å"utmost† importance in our society. Obviously, considering himself a scholar and trying to make an impact on his students, Ewen is perplexed, when after reviewing the impact of the mass media on our society, the most important question a student can ask him, is â€Å"Where did you get your shoes? † Why does it matter? This is what Ewen wants to understand. When did style become representative of all that we are? And how did become tied to social power. We will write a custom essay sample on All Consuming Images or any similar topic only for you Order Now Ewen, although able to recognize the symbols of style in our society, through images on magazines, fashion, interior design, found it difficult to define what style is, and the â€Å"universal preoccupation† with style in this society. Ewen believed that understanding this preoccupation, would ultimately provide an understanding of this contemporary culture. Ewen was curious of this notion, that made such an impact on our society, yet lacked concrete understanding. Style is elusive, yet craved by everyone. â€Å"This conception of style is both perceptive and confounding. The idea that style is a way that the human values, structures, and assumptions in a given society are aesthetically expressed and received is a powerful insight. † Ewen found that the concept of style was often determined by current fads or modes of behavior. Style can be defined by its currency, and also defined by its consumption. â€Å"One of the main points of a style is that it will not remain current. † Ewen asked his students to write an essay entitled â€Å"What Style Means to Me. † He established the ground rules: †¢ No dictionary definitions †¢ No academic or research papers †¢ Draw on your own experiences and feelings about style Ewen believed that each of their essays would reveal how their definition of style was essentially part of their history and experience. â€Å"Every story could be pursued to reveal many things about the particular individuals and groups that are spoken for: the way people express themselves, the way they conform, the way they rebel. † Ewen found through their essays that their were similarities in that at some point, most of them equated style with consumption and the power of the mass media to define and influence popular notions of style. Ewen wants to determine the meaning of the prominence, significance and consumption of style, and how it has come to be a contemporary phenomenon. Ewen is concerned about the ability of the mass media to define style and its ability to create a way of life. â€Å"The people we view apparently inhabit a universe of bounty. They wear dresses costing thousands. They live in castles. Their encounters with interior designers lead to unrestrained flights of fancy. Their desires, their fantasies, their whims are painlessly translated into objective forms. There are no conflicts. In the name of â€Å"good taste,† there is no mention of cost. There is no anxiety about affordability. † Style, in contemporary culture, appears to offer the opportunity to have all that one desires, without ever even questioning if it what should be desired. Question 2 Using THREE EXAMPLES from the book, explain at least two ways that personal experience (and/or identity) is related to the politics of style. According to Ewen, the power of style has become an increasingly feature in the lives of individuals. â€Å"Style is a visible reference point by which we have come to understand life in progress. † Take for example the invitation that an individual may receive from American Express, to receive their new Gold Card. â€Å"Only a select group will ever carry the Gold Card. So it instantly identifies you as someone special–one who expects an added measure of courtesy and personal attention. . . . The Gold Card says more about you than anything you can buy with it. We think it’s time you joined the select group who carry it. It is a gesture that speaks volumes. It says you are someone special–whose style of living requires very special privileges. Someone whose financial credentials rank among the nation’s highest. Someone who appreciates–indeed, has come to expect–an extra measure of courtesy and personal attention. In fact, the Gold Card in your name says more about you than almost anything you can buy with it. † This is a promise of â€Å"unspoken prestige. † You will be seen. You will be noticed. The symbols you display, your most valuable possessions, will permit you to stand apart from the crowd. You will be noteworthy and honored. You will be someone. You will have â€Å"joined the select group. † Only the faint remnant of perforations–at the top and bottom edges of the personalized letter–suggests that this promise of individual identity is being made, simultaneously, to a mass of others. This is a typical manner in which the mass media and consumerism do define style, as identified by Ewen. It speaks to the quality of life that will be held by the person who has the â€Å"Gold Card,† as though being identified as royalty. This person not only has style and power, but already has the American Dream. â€Å"When a rising middle class of merchants began to appropriate the marks of style from the late Middle Ages on, it was a tangible expression of their increasing power, both locally and globally. When they took on the vestments, titles, and properties previously monopolized by the aristocracy, it was because they had assumed a central, increasingly decisive position in the world. While political structures took time to acknowledge their franchise, these merchant capitalists were becoming men of power. † According to Ewen, this middle class claiming of power, was a mask, to let them feel as powerful as the elite that claimed social power. â€Å"Its symbolic identification with power, this â€Å"middle class† performed, and continues to perform, a political function; it effects divisions among people who otherwise might identify with one another. † Ewen cites the impact of the mass media and its ability to convince the American public of their personal worth as evidenced by their style. â€Å"By the late 1950s, Fortune magazine asserted, nearly all Americans had the option of â€Å"choosing a whole style of life†: A skilled mechanic who earns $7,500 after taxes may choose to continue living in â€Å"working class† style, meanwhile saving sizable sums for his children’s college education; or he may choose to live like a junior executive in his own $17,000 suburban house; or he may choose to live in a city apartment house otherwise occupied by business and professional men. When the American â€Å"masses† have options of this breadth, . . . it is scarcely an exaggeration to suggest that we have arrived at a landmark in all the history of human freedoms. (1) people constantly express their personalities not so much in words as in symbols (ie: mannerisms, dress, ornaments, possessions); (2)most people are increasingly concerned about what other people think of them, and hence about their social status. Thus the taste of many Americans is expressed in symbols of various social positions. . . . people tend to buy things that symbolize their aspirations. Our social status and hence our social power are identified by our belongings and those personal possessions that we choose. Question 3 In the closing chapter, Ewen begins by suggesting that â€Å"In American Society today ‘image management’ has become both a lucrative business†¦Ã¢â‚¬  and a necessity. He concludes that â€Å"in countless aspects of life the powers of appearance have come to overshadow, or to shape, the way we comprehend matters of substance. † What are his conclusions regarding this form of social control? What do you think of his argument? What began for Ewen as a quest to understand why one student found more importance in his shoes than his message, Ewen uncovered what is perhaps our failing in contemporary society. Image management in contemporary society is a billion dollar business, with people being willing to do whatever it takes, to achieve the perfect status and the perfect image. The perfect image sells! Image is created by an individuals style. For most individuals, style is created by what is identified in the mass media as valuable, status enhancing, and important. Our priorities are in great part determined by what the mass media determines as important. This is a belief that is upheld by not only the commercial industry but our main sources of news: â€Å"If the news helps to promulgate an ongoing cognitive confusion, closely related are the dominant channels of political influence. As far back as the presidency of Andrew Jackson, when the vote was extended beyond the propertied classes, political style makers have negotiated between the objective power and interests of ruling elites on the one hand, and rising popular democratic aspirations on the other. Social inequalities of wealth and opportunity were transformed, by the hoodoo of political promotion, into a consensual notion of â€Å"common interest. † I absolutely agree that the perception or attitude represents â€Å"the ascendancy of politics as pure public relations. † If we continue to reduce all social issues to simply matters of perception, that is the only place where we will see change. If that is how we address social needs, we will only see an image change, rather than real change that is needed. â€Å"The impulse to dissociate images from social experience, or to present images as a surrogate for experience, is reiterated throughout our culture. The perpetual repetition of this dynamic–affecting our sense. † Ewen represents a compelling study of the effect of image and style on contemporary society. The value of individuals in this society is determined by their image and their ability to project that image to others. How to cite All Consuming Images, Papers

Volcano Facts Essay Example For Students

Volcano Facts Essay Volcano FactsHot! Fire! Destruction! These are words that mostpeople associate with volcanoes. But some good effects cancome out of volcanoes. Volcanoes also have their ownspecial mythology associated with them. A lot of volcanoeshave some general characteristics in common. There are manyvolcanoes around the world and some have specialcharacteristics. So come along and take a trip with me intothe wonderful and exciting world of volcanoes. Over 550 volcanoes have erupted on the surface of theEarth since human kind has been able to record history. Their destructiveness has claimed the lives of over 200,000people during the last 500 years with 26,000 deaths between1980 and 1990 alone. They have also cause an innumerableamount of property damage. The biggest eruption of the twentieth century was theeruption of Novarupta on the peninsula of Alaska. Theamount of lava that erupted measured to roughly 15 cubickilometers! All of the lava erupted equaled to the amountof 30 times the amount of lava that came from Mount SaintHelens and it is also the equivalent of 230 years oferuptions at Mount Kilauea. The eruption lasted for 60hours on June 6, 1920. We will write a custom essay on Volcano Facts specifically for you for only $16.38 $13.9/page Order now The biggest eruption, despite its size, was not themost destructive, for the most destructive was the eruptionof Mount Saint Helens in Oregon during the week of May 18th,1980. This eruption mainly caused just loss of property,because many people didnt expect the volcano to erupt. Although some people did die, this volcano was kind of weakcompared to the size of the eruption and amount of liveslost in other eruptions like Tambora, Indonesia in 1815where 92,000 people died. Despite all of these bad effects, some life stillshines through these tragedies. For example the ash that avolcano spews out covers many square miles of plants andtrees. This holds in water and waters plants. The ash alsocontains many nutrients that plants use. A little more than80 percent of the Earths surface is volcanic in origin,meaning that most of the Earths surface was formed byvolcanoes. Also, magma deposits heat water undergroundwhich produces geothermal energy. The word volcano comes from an island off of the coastof Sicily called Vulcano. The people of Sicily thought thatthe clouds of dust and spurts of lava were made from Vulcan,the blacksmith for the Roman Gods. They believed thatVulcan forged thunderbolts for Zeus and weapons for Mars onthat island. Out of the 550 of the worlds active volcanoes, theworlds largest active volcano is Mauna Loa, it is one ofthe Hawaiian islands. The island protrudes around 13,677feet above sea level; while the whole island was formed byan underwater volcano, this brings it 28,000 feet above theocean floor where it started. From the base underwater tothe summit above water, this volcano stands higher thanMount Everest. There are two main types of volcanoes out there in theworld today, the first is felsic, and the second is mafic. Felsic volcanoes have a high silica content and a lightcolor to the lava. The second, mafic, has just theopposite, a low silica content and a darker color. Then there are underwater volcanoes and above groundvolcanoes. The underwater volcanoes are less known aboutthan above ground for the obvious reason that they are seenwhen they are above ground. Underwater volcanoes producesome things called black smokers, they are basically justash as well as black smoke that combine and heat up water toboiling temperatures. An interesting fact about underwatervolcanoes is that some islands have been formed by lavaeruptions building up year after year. An island chain thatis very well known that has been formed by this process isthe chain of the Hawaiian Island chain. This chain alsoincludes the worlds largest volcano, Mauna Lao, which, whenyou count the amount underwater and the amount above wateris taller than Mount Everest. .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .postImageUrl , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .centered-text-area { min-height: 80px; position: relative; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:hover , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:visited , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:active { border:0!important; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .clearfix:after { content: ""; display: table; clear: both; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e { display: block; transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; width: 100%; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #95A5A6; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:active , .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; background-color: #2C3E50; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .centered-text-area { width: 100%; position: relative ; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .ctaText { border-bottom: 0 solid #fff; color: #2980B9; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0; padding: 0; text-decoration: underline; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .postTitle { color: #FFFFFF; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; margin: 0; padding: 0; width: 100%; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .ctaButton { background-color: #7F8C8D!important; color: #2980B9; border: none; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: none; font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold; line-height: 26px; moz-border-radius: 3px; text-align: center; text-decoration: none; text-shadow: none; width: 80px; min-height: 80px; background: url(https://artscolumbia.org/wp-content/plugins/intelly-related-posts/assets/images/simple-arrow.png)no-repeat; position: absolute; right: 0; top: 0; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:hover .ctaButton { background-color: #34495E!important; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .centered-text { display: table; height: 80px; padding-left : 18px; top: 0; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e-content { display: table-cell; margin: 0; padding: 0; padding-right: 108px; position: relative; vertical-align: middle; width: 100%; } .u108d21dffb5851db720a6b0c0282344e:after { content: ""; display: block; clear: both; } READ: I believe healthy nutrition is the most important EssaySome volcanoes have been found in our solar system thatare not on the planet Earth. One volcano, which is thelargest one in our solar system, is Mount Olympus Mons onthe planet Mars. This is the only volcano found on theplanet mars. There are also numerous volcanoes found on Io,a moon of the planet Jupiter. These volcanoes also showthat some plate tectonics on Io, even though no platetectonics is believed to have occurred on Mars. Volcanoes form when magma, melted rock underground (itis called lava when it reaches the surface) (most of itforms around 50 to 100 miles underground), when the magmamixes with gas and rises, pressure builds against thesurface, the magma breaks through and you get a volcano. Shield volcanoes form when a lot of lava spills out ofa vent and goes in a broad, flatter area. Another type ofdifferent volcano is a cinder cone. Cinder cones are madewhen tephra, thick globs of magma, erupts from a vent in theground and comes back down then accumulates. A famous oneis Paricutn in western Mexico. It started to form in 1943in the middle of a farmers corn field, then it started tostop in 1952. When it was finished, the cinder cone was1,345 feet higher than the base. Then there are compositevolcanoes which form when tephra and lava erupt from thesame vent. One example of this is Pompeii and Japans MountFuji. When all of the magma is drained out of the chambers ofthe volcanoes, called magma chambers, sometimes the volcanocant support itself and collapses, this leaves a cratercalled a caldera. So, I hope that you have learned about some specificvolcanoes as well as the properties that go along with them(even if they are bad). I also hope that you found out thatvolcanoes arent all that bad.
