Ebeko – Volcanoes of the world
Ebeko − active complex stratovolcano type Somma-Vesuvius, located in Northern Paramushir island. Seven kilometers North-West from Severo-Kurilsk. A volcano is a mountain system of Great Kurile ridge, Vernadsky ridge.
Ebeko has founded 2400 years ago. The volcano is composed of ANDESITES and andesite-basalts. The height of the top Ebeko is 1156 meters. Its Somma, whose diameter is three to five kilometers, destroyed. It surrounds the crest of semi-annular elongated in Meridian direction of the Central cone of the volcano, with the top three adjoining crater with depths of from seventy to one hundred meters and diameters from two hundred fifty to three hundred and fifty meters. Craters filled with hot lakes, sulphur, thermal springs. Many lateral craters of the volcano − explosive craters and cirques are also the centers of hydrothermal and fumarole activity.
Until the mid-sixties of the 20th century, the lake in the Central crater of Ebeko volcano is heated by underground springs. However, after the eruption of 1965, the flow of warm water from the bowels of the volcano ceased. As a result, the water level in the lake fell by eleven meters. The water is gradually beginning to cool. Nowadays this lake feeds water melting snowfield, located near the volcano
Ebeko is characterized by high Continue reading
Report – Inland waters South America
The humidity of the climate and abundance of precipitation on the mainland of the continent, the extensive flat space contribute to the formation on the mainland of large and deep rivers. Under the influence of moist winds from the Atlantic South America gets two times more rain than in average all land of the Earth. River flow is also almost twice exceeds the same averages across the globe. South America accounts for 8% of land and 14% of the flow of the globe. Thus, South America is richer than other continents water resources.
The power of most of the rivers of South American rain. Only some rivers get extra power at the expense of groundwater. melting snow and ice in the mountains. All the major rivers of the continent carry their waters into the Atlantic ocean. To the Pacific are short rivers that begin on the Western slopes of the Andes. Areas of internal drainage is restricted on the mainland area (approximately 6%, which is 10 times less than in Australia ).
Among the rivers of the mainland highlights Amazon — the deepest river in the globe and is the largest basin (7 million km2). The length of the Amazon, if we accept the source of marañon, will be the Amazon 6437 km — second Continue reading
