bertusgeert 1 #1 September 24, 2004 List three specific types of natural resources that are created by active volcanism along the Ring of Fire. Describe each in terms of how it is formed, and how it is used by the people living in the region. Where in the hell do I find this? If you know anything about it, let me know, its due in 2 hrs --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydivegirl 0 #5 September 24, 2004 Well, it's a ring of volcanoes around the Pacific Ocean that result from subduction of oceanic plates beneath lighter continental plates. Off the top of my head: * Volcanic ash increases soil fertility *heated groundwater concentrates minerals into deposits that are mined (tin, gold, silver, etc) *Groundwater heated by magma bodies can be tapped for geothermal energy *volcanic products can be used as raw materials for many chemical and industrial uses Hopefully that will get you started. ~Samantha Pink Mafia Sis #26 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenister 0 #6 September 24, 2004 hmm arent islands themselves created by volcanic activity? does LAND count as a natural resource? or is that not specific enough ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

bertusgeert 1 #8 September 24, 2004 thats great, I used some of those. Thanx! Now... "Paradise and catastrophe go hand in hand." - Explain how this comment rings true for people living in the following locations along (and at the center of ) the Ring of Fire: San Francisco; Hawaii; and Japan. For each location, describe how it is a paradise for the people, and describe the possible catastrophes that threaten their lives and homes. I can do Hawaii and Japan, but San Franciso is hard. Didn't they get demolished be earthquakes? What good is it to them? --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
