“At least 20 volcanoes will be erupting as you read these words”. Enriching the soil and destroying homes. Volcanoes aren’t as bad as you think they are. They help the earth in an amazing way you never could've imagined. Do you know how they help the earth?
“Depending on the location of the volcano, it can take thousands of years of weathering for the ash and rock deposits to form a rich soil. When they do it become soils, they are often among the richest soils on earth.” Volcanoes do help the earth, but how exactly do volcanoes help? Some examples of these “volcanic soils” are, “Hawaii’s lush vegetation is due to rapid formation of soil from volcanic deposits. Ash also contributes to soil formation. However, smaller particles of ash (often less than a millimeter in diameter) are more quickly embedded in the existing soil and more quickly broken down into nutrients. As you know oxygen helps animals and human beings stay alive. In order for there to be oxygen we need trees, and in order for there to be trees you need soil. As you read before volcano’s help the soil so it plays a big part in our lives.
“... This section includes landscape passing over relatively new lava so the traveler will experience transitions from substantially untouched to well vegetated volcanic terrain and rain forest. Volcano eruptions Cause most of the worlds most beautiful tourist attractions. “The southern slopes of Kahuku To the county park at Honuapo Bay include the green segment that winds into the Waiohinu Valley then down towards the ocean, with a panorama that may extend to a distant view of Kilauea volcano.”
Volcano’s may destruct property, just because they leave people homeless doesn't mean they’re that bad. If you're a traveler you've probably visited many places that volcanic eruptions form. What do you think of volcanoes, know that you know more about them?
