Geology: Hawaiian volcanoes - Part 11: Volcanoes falling apart... from Landslides and Tsunamis
Original post by @sooflauschig
While a Hawaiian volcano grows, it develops the beautiful shield like shape, with gently sloping flanks. On the edges of the Hawaiian Islands, this image changes. Here, the landscape is dominated by steep scarps, forming spectacular cliffs on land or beneath the ocean surface.
Molokai coastline from the air. The hazards at hand Scarps are eroded faults at which large boulders slipped of the sides of the volcanoes and dropped violently into the ocean, causing landslides on land and under water. Submarine landslides push away ocean water and create tsunamis. This describes an often overlooked hazard that volcanoes pose, the fact that they can stay dangerous, even after they are ...
Ecology: Environmental Restoration: An ecological project under development
Hello! my Steemian friends!
Following the theme of my latest publications, I return to share a information on one related fact to the ecological effects produced by the intervention of man in the environment, of historical relevance. I am referring to The Gorongosa National Park, which has become a wonderful model of ecological restoration and sustainable development for the community. It is located in the central part of Mozambique in Africa, one of the poorest peoples in the world.
Archeology: Preserving Ancient Rock Art
Original post by @mother2chicks

Having wrapped my lips around Pecos cantaloupe, the best melon nature ever created! I became intrigued with the Alexandria Project when visiting my cousin in Texas.
About 7,000 years ago deep in the southern west Texas cayonlands a vast tale exists of a long gone people who were artists in their own right. Having a distinctive style they decorated their rock shelters with vivid Shamanistic images in numerous sites scattered throughout a large area from the Rio Grande River to the canyonland of the Pecos River to Devils River.
