Week Five Volcanos

 Week Five Volcanos

The UK has a total of 0 active volcanos within its borders, not to say that there aren't any volcanos at all there are a few total volcanos that have had some activity in the past but are no longer in danger of erupting. Heritage daily has an interactive map that will show you exactly where all volcanoes are located within the UK, but they mainly exist within Queen Mary's Peak, Soufrière Hills, as well as Mount Belinda and Mount Micheal.


As for what to do if you are around a volcano eruption, you should try and evacuate as quickly as possible, follow the news of the pending eruption, and plan accordingly, avoiding being downwind because of the oncoming rubble and ash, As well as find shelter, if your supply allow, to avoid the ash.

Geol9 Week Two: Plate Tectonics Throughout this week our class is exploring plate tectonics and how they affect other disasters around our geographic regions. In the UK, according to the NOAA map, on the mainland, there is really only one connected spot where there is earthquake activity and that is mainly along the South-Eastern part of the UK just below England. This earthquake activity comes from the Eurasia plate that sits within the Atlantic Ocean and continues around more of Europe in Asia. As it relates to the UK, the seismic activity that is created by this fault line is not exceptionally strong, it has the power to create earthquakes but those earthquakes are far to small to create tsunamis.
