volcanoes from space
REF: WWW.REDORBIT.COMSantorini, Greece
This ASTER image of Santorini was acquired on November 21, 2000 and covers an area of 18 by 18 km.
Krakatau, Indonesia
This detailed image of the young volcano was taken by the Ikonos satellite on June 11, 2005. The volcano’s circular crater sits southwest of the center of the island and is surrounded by fresh lava flows and ash. The black shores of the island are scalloped where the flows have solidified in the ocean.
Unibas, Peru
This oblique image (looking at an angle) from the International Space Station (ISS) captures an ash cloud first observed on satellite imagery at 11:00 GMT on August 14, 2006. An ISS astronaut took this picture one hour and 45 minutes later.
Gunung Bromo, Indonesia
This image shows most of the Sandsea Caldera, along with Gunung Bromo and the older volcanoes on the caldera floor. A small plume of steam is visible rising out of Mt. Bromo. Space Imaging’s IKONOS satellite, capable of 4-meter per-pixel color imagery, and 1-meter per-pixel
resolution panchromatic imagery, acquired the data on July 8, 2001.
Mt. Etna , Italy
Astronaut photograph ISS013-E-62714 was acquired August 2, 2006, with a Kodak 760C digital camera using an 800 mm lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations experiment and the Image Science & Analysis Group, Johnson Space Center

POINT LOBOS (California, USA)
'Carmelo Formation. Conglomarate with granodiorite pebbles of vulcanic origin
Carmelo Formation (Paleocene: 60,000,000 years old)
Around 60 million years ago, the Salinian block subsided and ocean waters filled the granodiorite canyons. On land, ancient rivers carried lava from distant volcanoes down to the shoreline, and along the way scoured it into rounded pebbles and cobblestone-sized rocks. Over time, these rocks and layers of sand were deposited on the submarine canyon walls by underwater landslides and eventually cemented into a conglomerate called the Carmelo Formation. For many people, the Carmelo Formation is the most interesting type of rock at Point Lobos. It is softer than the granodiorite and is easily seen along the south shore of the reserve, where it has been eroded by ocean waves to form a photogenic series of coves, crevices and shelves.
The Carmelo formation is composed of thousands of layers of conglomerate, sand stone, and mudstone which the turbidity currents have deposited. The mudstone was deposited as marine mud. Most pebbles in the conglomerate are of volcanic origin. Conglomerate and sandstone are shades of brown, with concentrations of reddish brown iron oxide common in the sandstone. Mudstone is gray.

Its me again Nurse Gladys with another informative article about how you can go about selecting the best home based business opportunities that fits your needs, passion and goals.
As I read this article I taken back to when I first started out in the internet business as a newbie. As a newbie I did not know what to do to get started or how to proceed after I got started. I thought my passions for things were only my passion and that no one else in the world had that passion. It was after doing much research, reading and utilizing resources that I found I could make money with my passion. I found this article a must read and is now a part of my mentoring program with others that are starting out in the internet business arena.
I hope this article is as informative to you as it was for me. At the end of the article I have listed several affiliate programs for you to review to see if this is a part of your passion, or will help you make a revenue on the net. Enjoy reading and I will chat with you in a couple of days with more informative articles and recommended programs.
Helping You in Selecting Best Home Based Business Opportunity for You
by: Chintan Soni
We find home based business opportunities almost everywhere. You can capture almost any pastime and twist it into a big business. If you have a unique talent you can also use that as the source for your home based business. A home based business can range from gardening to paralegal services. If you have your unique skill, training or hobby, it can simply be turned into a money making thought.
It is that type of business which you can run from your home. We may have many ideas of starting our own home based business but at the same time we don’t know appropriately how to execute it.
When the people have money they spend in some or other kind of business, travel, and child care but they will not spend their money on special apparatus for a home workplace they observe that it really does pay to work at home. Home based business is slowly becoming the way to work throughout the ages.
You may think that come up with a home based business is complex, but it isn’t. Once you recognize what particular ability or skill you have, you can put up that into a business. For instance, if you are a first-rate gardener you may try growing specialty herbs and selling them at a local farmers market. It is a matter of taking what you have and figuring out how to make money with it.
Starting a home based business will definitely take some time and money depending on whether you need inventory, special apparatus or something else to get on track. It is not necessary that you require a big amount of capital for this. If you have special talent you may be able to start out inexpensively or come up with some capital. But then you have to ensure local and state laws for the types of license or permits you require. Once you are officially accepted as a business you can get on track in publicity and bringing in sales.
Once you start doing online business you will be able to access an entire new world of customers. But to get physically established as a business, you require following the basics of local and state laws. You also need to set up a website and start your internet publicity. Before starting up your business, start doing research into online business.
You can get free websites easily around internet. These sites recommend you the capability to set up your website content and even consist of exceptional things like trackers and ads.

These influences, and many more, made Egypt a very important land in ancient times. This importance was enforced upon many cultures by acts of military campaigns, where the Egyptians expanded their land from as far as, south of the fourth cataract in Nubia, to north of the Euphrates River. This expansion was conducted during the reign of Djehutymes III.

Merapi
By performing traditional dances and offering food, the people around Mount Merapi volcano try to avert an eruption.
May13
11may
Apr 06End of Apr 2006.
The geological world is looking at Indonesia, where the Merapi volcano is becomming more and more active (level 4) A major eruption is to be expected. Gunung Merapi is located in the southern area of central Java, overlooking the ancient royal city of Yogyakarta, is the most active volcano in Indonesia. Merapi has been witnessing small eruptions every two or three years, bigger ones every 10-15 years, and very large ones every 50-60 years.
see also INDAHNESIA.COM
It is now Mai 3th 2006. The volcano dome is still growing threathning the villages below. Recent measurements show that the dome has grown in volume to 2.4 million cubic meters. If the dome collapses, pyroclastic flow might rush down the slopes of the volcano. The dome has grown in height by 10 meters in 3 days.
Mai 4th. Merapi starts making rumbling sounds and people are urged to leave the area around the volcano. Former President Megawati Soekarnoputri has said Mt Merapi might erupt before May 6, 2006 and therefore residents living on its slopes should immediately be evacuated to safer locations. " This is not a prediction, but a possibility.
Mai 4th. The first lava flow started at 2 a.m. local time although the local customary guardian of the volcano, an elderly man named Marijan, officially appointed by the royal house of Yogyakarta, had said that there are no signs yet of an immediate eruption.
Merapi has become increasingly critical following the appearace a new crater and increasing magma pressures on its top.
At least 25 multiphase tremors and seven lava fallouts were recorded. Meanwhile, more magma is expected to escape from the beneath of the volcano. Earlier, on Wednesday, some 197 multiphase tremors, two tectonic earthquakes, a shallow volcanic earthquake and 29 fallouts were recorded.
May Thursday 11th , Merapi is spewing molten lava as far as 1,500 metres from its crater. Vice President Jusuf Kalla , urge an immediate evacuation of people living on the slopes. Hotel owners , received bookings from volcano hunters form over the world. I received an E-mail from Gomagma today whether I would join their Merapi trip, but I've already vacations planned.
May 13 Indonesian scientists have raised the alert status (level5) for the Mount Merapi volcano to its highest level, prompting mandatory evacuation of residents living near the mountain. Merapi, has spewed pyroclastic flows since 8:30 a.m. local time today.
15 May 2006 - Clouds of deadly ash, rock fragments and hot gas surged down Mount Merapi's slopes Monday as activity intensified to the highest level since the volcano rumbled back to life weeks ago. One eruption sent an avalanche of debris and ash rolling more than 2 miles down the mountain's western flank.
16 may 2006, Ash rain from the volcano has extended 13 kilometers (8 miles) north of the volcano, said Triani, an officer on duty at the Volcano Development and Research Center in Yogyakarta city. The lava dome has reached a height of about 85 meters (280 feet) over the past two weeks, Triani said. Lava dome collapses can set off pyroclastic flows, or the superheated flow of molten rock, ash and gases.
YOGYAKARTA, 07 June 2006 - The 9,700-foot (2,900-meter) volcano on the Indonesian island of Java has been sporadically spewing clouds of toxic gas and lava for several weeks. Experts believe a major eruption could come at any time. Villagers were being trucked away from the foot of the mountain to temporary shelters.
"Of course it is dangerous. But we don't know for sure whether the lava dome will collapse," Subandriyo, a government volcanologist who uses only one name, told the Associated Press. Officials said a cloud of gas from Merapi stretched for 2.4 miles (4 kilometers), and piles of lava were pushed up to 4 miles (7 kilometers) from the crater, according to the news reports.
Activity in the region has increased since a magnitude 6.3 earthquake struck about 20 miles (30 kilometers) to the south of the volcano on May 27. The earthquake killed more than 5,800 people. Scientists believe the earthquake may have contributed to the increased activity at the volcano.
"I don't think that's unreasonable. The volcano is an unstable pile of rock. It's fragile," said Stanley Williams, a volcanologist at Arizona State University in Tempe who has studied Merapi. "I would be surprised if [the earthquake] didn't literally shake the mountain," he added. A major eruption of Merapi could strain quake-relief efforts.
