DD_0066
This diagram shows a cross section of a composite volcano. Composite volcanoes have broad bases and steep sides. At the top of the volcano is the volcanic crater. Below the surface of the earth lies the magma chamber. This is a large underground pool of magma or molten rock. When a volcano erupts, magma travels from the magma chamber up the conduit channel and exits the volcano through the volcanic crater and side vents. Ash, smoke and steam are other byproducts of volcanic eruptions.

The lava begins in the magma chamber. It makes its way up the main vent and comes out of the crater. Volcanic bombs, ash, and an ash cloud are by products of a volcanic eruption. Lava can also come out of a secondary cone by the secondary vent.

The diagram shows a simple cross section of a volcano. The bottom most part is the magma chamber, where the lava is stored. The lava flows out of the volcano through an opening called crater. The lava flows from the magma chamber to the crater through the main vent. During the flow, it also flows out through the secondary cone. The mountain like structure on the side are layers of ash and lava.

This diagram shows a cross-section of a composite volcano revealing alternating layers of lava and ash. The volcano grows larger with each eruption as lava and ash are deposited onto its surface. The magma that flows from volcanoes comes from underneath the Earth's crust in a magma chamber. It is thick and travels slowly, creating the volcano's steep sides. There are frequently craters at the top from the last eruption. When the volcano erupts from the vent at the top, it spews large amounts of ash into the air creating an ash cloud. Sometime the magma is diverted from the main vent and find its way out of the side of the volcano, creating a secondary vent. Over time, the If the magma remains trapped, it creates a sill.

In tropical regions with high temperatures and lots of rain, thick soils form with no unstable minerals or nutrients. Conversely, dry regions produce thin soils, rich in unstable minerals.

This diagram shows that of the soil horizon. There are many different types of soils, and each one has unique characteristics, like color, texture, structure, and mineral content. The depth of the soil also varies. The kind of soil in an area helps determines what type of plants can grow. Soil is made up of distinct horizontal layers; these layers are called horizons. They range from rich, organic upper layers (humus and topsoil) to underlying rocky layers ( subsoil, regolith and bedrock).O Horizon - The top, organic layer of soil, made up mostly of leaf litter and humus (decomposed organic matter). A Horizon - The layer called topsoil; it is found below the O horizon and above the E horizon. Seeds germinate and plant roots grow in this dark-colored layer. It is made up of humus (decomposed organic matter) mixed with mineral particles. E Horizon - This eluviation (leaching) layer is light in color; this layer is beneath the A Horizon and above the B Horizon. It is made up mostly of sand and silt, having lost most of its minerals and clay as water drips through the soil. B Horizon - Also called the subsoil - this layer is beneath the E Horizon and above the C Horizon. It contains clay and mineral deposits (like iron, aluminum oxides, and calcium carbonate) that it receives from layers above it when mineralized water drips from the soil above. C Horizon - Also called regolith: the layer beneath the B Horizon and above the R Horizon. It consists of slightly broken-up bedrock. Plant roots do not penetrate into this layer; very little organic material is found in this layer. R Horizon - The unweathered rock (bedrock) layer that is beneath all the other layers.

This diagram depicts the layers of the Earth. The top layer is the O Horizon. This is the humus that is the surface litter, decomposing plant matter. Below that is the A Horizon which is the topsoil. It is mixed humus and leached mineral soil. Below that is the E Horizon which is the zone of leaching. There is less humus and the minerals are resistant to leaching. Below that is the B Horizon. This is the subsoil that is an accumulation of leached minerals like iron and aluminum oxides. The final layer is the C Horizon. It is the weathered parent material that is partly broken-down minerals.

The figure shows the different horizons and profiles of soil. The A-horizon is also called topsoil. This is the layer of soil where plants grow. Many small animals such as insects and worms also live here. Topsoil is rich in nutrients from decomposed plants and animals. Right under the A-horizon is the B-horizon, or the subsoil. If a plant has very deep roots, these roots may reach the subsoil. Subsoil contains very little organic matter. However, because of accumulated minerals such clay and iron, it holds more water than topsoil. Beneath the B-horizon is the C-horizon or substratum. The C-horizon is mostly composed of particles of bedrock, sediment, and other geologic materials.

clouds
DD_0076
This diagram shows the common types of clouds in the troposphere. The three main types of clouds are cirrus, stratus and cumulus. The types of clouds varies according to how high it is above the ground from 5,000 feet up to 20,000 feet. Because of the cold temperature at high altitudes, clouds are made up of ice crystals. Cloud types can be easily identified by their appearance. Stratus and Cumulus clouds usually form at lower altitudes, clumpy and usually causes rain and precipitation. While Cirrus clouds form at higher altitudes where the temperature is fairly constant and is usually evenly scattered. Clouds play a big role in maintaining the balance of the earth's temperature and has a big impact on the weather. Shown also are Aerosols that stay in the lower atmosphere. Aerosols are produced naturally but recent concerns have been raised since these are largely man-made and Aerosols have significant impacts on cloud and weather system.

Below the stratus, there is steady precipitation whereas below the cumulus, there is showery precipitation. Right below 6,500 ft, there are low clouds and between 6,500 ft and 23,000 ft, there are the middle clouds. It is higher than 23,000 ft where there is the cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus. There is also a halo around the sun.
