Discuss volcanic hazards.

Discuss volcanic hazards. Although commonly thought to be associated with most volcanic eruptions (by the general public), lava is rarely responsible for the loss of life. Which hazards would tend to be more deadly? Finally, indicate and discuss those hazards that are a direct result of volcanic activity as well as those hazards that are indirectly linked.

What are the different types of sediments and what are the factors that control their distribution

Discuss the distribution of seafloor sediments in the ocean basins. What are the different types of sediments and what are the factors that control their distribution (geologic setting, climate, etc.)?
