Hi, this is Hunter from tectonic news. It is april 14, 2010. This is a warning to the travelers in europe, There has just been an eruption at the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland, 67 degrees 37' n, 19 degrees 37' w. It has caused 800 people southwest of the volcano to evacuate. This may effect you travel home because planes are grounded because of ash in the air from this explosion. This is a major tectonic event. This is sitting on the mid atlantic ridge. This is a chain a of mountain that run down the atlantic. These were formed because of a divergent connection between the North american plate and the Eurasian plate. The caused a large chain of volcanos to form across the bottom of the ocean. Iceland is sitting on top of this ridge making it very volcanically active, making powerful earthquakes a possibility for Ice.

Really good, but you might want to explain what a divergent boundary is. Other than that, awesome. I think your current events idea is really good.
ReplyDeleteNice, keep filling me in for more news.
ReplyDeleteOh no, that's too bad! I was about to visit Iceland in my tour of the tectonic plates! Keep me updated, I don't want anybody to get hurt.
