Ring of Fire

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 1 month ago

 


 

Ring of Fire 

 The Ring of Fire is a group of volcanos that surrounds the Pacific Ocean.  The ring ranges from down around Australia to Alaska and back down to Peru. The Ring of Fire is in the shape of a horseshoe and 40,000 km. long.  The Ring of Fire goes through 32 different countries around the world that surround the Pacific Ocean.  About 90% of the world's earthquakes and 81% of the world's large earthquakes come from the Ring of Fire.This area is consistantly interupted with earthquakes and the eruption of volcanoes.

 Volcanoes

 

The Kluchevskoy Volcano is a volcano that reaches up to 4,750m in height. This volcano erupts about every 5 years and is one of the biggest active volcanoes on land. The Kluchevskoy Volcano is part of a group including 30 active volcanoes that lie on the Kamchatka Peninsula. The volcano is about 8,000 years old and first erupted in 1697. The town of Kluchi is 30 km. away from the volcano and has never had any severe injuries. The eruptions are followed by with several explosions and ash falls.

 

 

Karymsky Volcano

 

The Karymsky Volcano is a pretty short volcano compared to the Kluchevskoy Volcano, only reaching up to 1,486m. and very young (only 6,100 years old.) This volcano is the most active one in Kamchatka,Russia. Twenty three eruptions have already happened in this century. The last eruption happened in 1996 and was accompanied with sprinkles of ash and coming from a central crater. The Karymsky Volcano's last eruption only lasted 18-20 hours, but turned the fresh water of Karymsky Lake into the largest holder of acid water.

 

  Both of these volcanoes (the Kluchevskoy Volcano and the Karymsky Volcano) have two things in common, they both are in Kamchatka, Russia and lie on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

 

Mt. Fuji 

   Mountain Fuji is the tallest moutian in Japan and is in the Ring of Fire.  It stands 3,776 m. (12,388 ft.) high.  It is a popularity to artists and was worshiped as a sacred mountain.  Mt. Fuji is surrouned by Lake Kawaguchi, Lake Yamanaka, Lake Sai, Lake Motosu and Lake Shoji.  This is a active stratovolcano that last eruped in 1708 and is waiting to erupt again.  In the 1708 eruption many people were killed and many homes and buildings were destroyed.   

 

 

Kamchatka Peninsula 

 

 The Kamchatka Peninsula is in the far eastern part of Russia between Siberia and the Pacific Ocean. Out of the 600 active volcanoes that lie on the Ring of Fire, 127 of them are in Kamchatka, Russia.  Twenty two of them are active in Kamchatka. The Kamchatka Peninsula is part of the Russian Kamchatka Oblast. It is 750 mi. long and has an area of exactly 140,000 sq. miles. The Klyuchevskaya Volcano does not only lie on the Ring of Fire, but it is one of the twenty two active volcanoes. In Russia the Kamchatka Peninsula is called the Камчатская область.     The star represents where the Kamchatka Peninsula is on the map.

 

History

  The Ring of Fire was created many years ago by the tectonic plates that have been building volcanoes and are continuing to do so. Kamchatka had a violent being with tectonic plates moving and causing eruptions of the massive volcanoes.

I think you guys did a good job on pictures and bubble shares. You content seemed accurate but maybe a little more links. I like that the links you had before went outside of the box and not to wikipedia. Great job=]]]

I think you guys did a great job with adding content on your page. I love the bubbleshare- it stays on topic and it isn't there just because it looks cool. The other picture is great too, it even has a caption! One thing I would suggest you to do is to add more information on the History section.

I noticed that you all have a huge amount of information on your page my only concern is that sometimes you don't have enough detail so it sounds like a list. I wonder if you could add some of the major eruptions in the history section because that is missing some content. Inotice that you added some volcanoes and that made it more interesting and more visual.

Wow, great job guys you did very good. It was a very hard topic and you did a great job with your effort to adding as much content as you can find. I also think you had great formatting. Although above that you could have had some better pictures in this. Overall, I think you deserve a 91. Great effort.

i think this page would deserve a high c to a low b because there wasn't a lot of info on the page. If you comapre this to red square it would show that you guys didn't do much work at all.

This was pretty good. I think that this deserves a 90% it had a few grammar and speling mistakes. You could have added more links and maybe a little more content. Most of the pictres were of maps and that could have easily been fixed.

I liked your links. I also think it has a pretty good amount of information. I think you should have talked about Russia more. I think it was pretty unique how you put a horseshoe in your bubbleshare. Over all out of 100 I choose a 90%

WOW! I thought that overall this page was very good. It has good content and quite a few links. You probably could have talked more about how it relates to Russia.Guys what is up with the horseshoe??? The only thing I could think why you put it there was because it looks kinda like the ring of fire. Overall I thought it was a good page.

I would give you guys an F if I were to grade this paper. I would give you an F because you icluded so much about the volcanoes but no connection with Russia. Also your bearly had any photos that were useful. Some good things about this page is that it had had good links and great contents, but still no connection with Russia.

Hey Guys, I thought that this page was a solid start to a great wiki page. There is an average amount of content that is pretty interesting and related for the most part to Russia. (One paragraph that left me confused though was the one on Mount Fuji in Japan). I also liked your formatting for the most part---but be careful of using too many wikipedia links. One question that I had was what your plan was for dividing the work. It seemed to me that most of the "heavy lifting" was done by only one member of your group.

Nice format and details. An issue that i saw was that u had few thing about Russia and why it fits also u had few pictures. I would give this a 84 or a 2.

Malcolm H. This page deserves a four because the information was strong, alot of links, strong details, and formatting was correct. If I was to grade this page it would get a solid 93.

I think you guys did a pretty good job. You had a good amount of links and content. I liked how you guys explained each volcano. But in your bubbleshare you could of put some more pictures of the volcanos. Otherwise you guys did a goo job.

I notice that there are some great information about the volcanoes in the Ring of Fire. I like the bubble share that you put in. It shows the Ring of Fire on a map. I like the last slide when there's a horse shoe picture. It makes sense that the Ring of Fire is like a horse shoe. But there are not many links to prove that your information is accurate. I would give you somewhere a range of an 88%-90%.
