WELL IT’S NOT COLD EVERYWHERE. REMEMBER LAST WEEK WHEN WE TOLD YOU ABOUT MOUNT MAYON IN THE PHILIPPINES. WELL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS NEW FOOTAGE OF THE VOLCANO ERUPTING. IT’S A TIME LAPSE. TIME LAPSE IS A STYLE OF VIDEO MADE UP OF STILL PHOTOS, TAKEN OVER TIME, TO SHOW A CHANGE OCCURING. THIS TIME LAPSE WAS MADE BY TAKING ONE PHOTO EVERY 30 SECONDS OVER AN HOUR. PRETTY CRAZY.
THE PHILIPPINES LAYS ON THE EDGE OF THE RING OF FIRE, A SERIES OF VOLCANOS AROUND THE PACIFIC OCEAN. THEY POP UP HERE BECAUSE IT’S WHERE THE EARTH’S CRUST PLATES STRIKE ONE ANOTHER. THESE FAULTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO BE PLACES WHERE SEISMIC ACTIVITY OCCURS. SEISMIC MEANS RELATED TO SHAKING OF THE EARTH LIKE VOLCANOS AND EARTHQUAKES.
SO FAULTS ARE DANGEROUS PLACES TO LIVE. AND RECENTLY, GEOLOGISTS IN CALIFORNIA DISCOVERED A NEW FAULT THERE.
COURTNEY FRIEL HAS THE STORY.
