 VOLCANOES Spain has a few volcanoes. In Spain they have 4 volcanoes which are Campo de Calatrava, Cofrentes, Columbretes, Islas, and Olot Field. But Spain also owns the Canary Island and their volcanoes so the Canary Island have 7 volcanoes which are El Hierro, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria, La Gomera, La Palma, Lanzarote, and Tenerife. They are all active but the good thing is that none of them have erupted in about 40 or plus years. They only thing is that they do have to keep an eye out for them as they can and will erupt. The two main volcanoes their in Spain are Campo De Calatrava and Olot Field.  This volcano is located in Central Spain. It has more then 300 pyroclastic cones, maars, and lava domes.  Sadly I'm unable to post a picture of the the Olot Filed volcano. But they have large numbers of Strombolian pyroclastic cones and associated alkali basaltic lava flow. In the North East the volcanic province and include Ampurdan and selva area to the South East. These h...

 Week #3 Earthquake    To start of by talking about the difference between magnitude and intensity. Magnitude measures the energy at the source of the earthquake. While intensity measure the shaking produced by the earthquake at a certain location. Now to talk about the seismic waves, so for Spain they where able to figure out where they were happening. They where also able to determine how the rocks where moving and what was shaking and moving on Spain. This helped out Spain a lot because it gave them a sense of where the earthquake where happing. Then for the mitigation strategy where able to help out Spain with there earthquakes. Spain was able to determine the shake and how long and strong they were. This gave them a sense of how to built buildings better and how to reenforce them. They were also to predict where and when the next earthquake was going to happen. The image below shows the magnitude of the earthquake. Th...

TECTONICS The plate that Spain is sitting on are the Iberian and European plate. They collided together and they had formed the Pyrenees mountain range. These plates also move around 26mm/yr to the northeast. On this map you can see what plates there are as well as where they shift to. They also say how much they move within a years worth.  This map shows how the plates move and also say whats happening throughout the process of their movement. It also shows that its right under the capital of Spain. Theres also two spots that have a volcanic zone and earthquakes.  Source: http://eurasiatectonics.weebly.com/iberian-plate.html#:~:text=Approximately%20100Ma%20during%20the%20Cretaceous%20present%20day%20Spain%28Iberian,Jurassic%20during%20the%20breakup%20of%20Pangaea%20%28B.Andeweg%202002%29.  Source: http://eurasiatectonics.weebly.com/iberian-plate.html#:~:text=Approximately%20100Ma%20during%20the%20Cretaceous%20present%20day%20Spain%28Iberian,Jurassic%20during%20the%20brea...
