dante's Peak
1.) Dante's Peak is apart of the Northern Cascade Mountain range. 2.) Four other volcanoes in the Northern Cascades are; Mt. San Helens, Mt. Rainer, Mt. Shasta, Sunset Crater, and Lassen Peak.3.) Dante's Peak is a Stratovolcano. 4.) Dante's Peak last eruption was about 7,000 years ago.5.) Prior to Dante's Peak awakening I would rate the activity level of the volcano dormant. Dormant means that it has not erupted in recent history but evidence suggests it might. Like I said Dante's Peak last eruption was 7,000 years ago. To me that's not recent history. In the movie Harry tells the people that it is dormant, and they thought it was extinct. He said the volcano is starting to wake up. Also it was mentioned that there was 25-75 earthquakes a day, meaning that the volcano is showing activity. 6.) Harry Dolton and his crew used many monitoring devices such as; a seismograph, robot (takes video and gas readings), Tilt meters, gas analy
I mean some things were far fetched like the kid being able to drive when he's how old? And also that he was able to drive with a bunch of ash surrounding him. " Its threat to life is moderate to high because it causes people to suffocate. ) Dante's Peak produced ash which is the smallest type of tephra; it has a size of 1/8. In the movie they notice that sulfur has leaked into the town's water supply, that's how they know the volcano would erupt soon. I felt like it was one of those movies that you learn something from and don't even realize it. Lavas threat to life is very low because lava's main threat is to land. ) I thought the movie was rather accurate. Harry argues that they were shallow and magmatic. The volcano was mentioned to be like St. Stratovolcanoes mostly produce Felsic lava, meaning it has a high % of silica, high % of gases, and produce thick and slow lava. They used these devices to measure the activity of the volcano. ) I think the lava that was produced by Dante's Peak was Felsic.
