Why I Chose This Topic Since our topic was on Earth Science. I had chosen volcanoes since they are a part of the Earth's structure. They are very interesting since they can get the magma from the Earth's core. There isn't anything else that could possibly do that.
Science Concept
The reason volcanoes erupt is because inside the Earth’s core there are rocks that slowly melt and become magma. After that the magma rises up since it is lighter then it goes through magma chambers and comes out on the earth's surface. You can usually find volcanoes located near the tectonic plates in which they meet at. They can cause massive destruction and can also create different landscapes.
Application
If we didn't study volcanoes and look into them for science, we wouldnt know when eruptions could happen and they could change lands and water by a lot. If there were no volcanoes at all from the beginning, we wouldn’t have the same amount of land we have as now.
Career Path
Physical volcanologists study the processes and deposits of volcanic eruptions. Giuseppe Mercalli was an italian volcanologist, he was born on May 21, 1850 and died on March 19, 1914. He had invented the earthquake intensity scale since he had 2 other jobs besides just being a volcano studier. The 2 other jobs he had was being a seismologist and a Roman Catholic Priest.
