volcanism

Definitions

Examples

• It also suggests factors like plate tectonics and volcanism play a critical role in mediating habitable conditions, and we need to find ways of investigating these things on distant worlds as well.

• The orbiter will map the surface with radar, chart elevations to make 3-D maps and look for plate tectonics and volcanism still ongoing on Venus.

• Even on these planets, Foley says, “we still have volcanism,” because there’s still hot rock circulating beneath that heavy lid.

• No volcanism scenario showed such total habitat destruction, the team found.

• Farnsworth, paleontologist Alfio Alessandro Chiarenza of University College London and their colleagues evaluated how different dinosaur habitats would be affected under various impact and volcanism scenarios.

• Volcanoes and volcanism are not restricted to the planet Earth.

• Lassen Peak, some wise men believe, is the last exhibit of activity in the dying volcanism of the Cascade Mountains.

• Thus, active volcanism is taking place, at present, on at least one planetary body in addition to our Earth.
