" "Electric Chair" is squarely of the present, in harsh, artificial pinks and yellows. It is pure pop art, without sympathy for the victim or for any ideology that condemns capital punishment. Not only is there no hope, as voiced in "Saint Perpetuum," there is also no regret, any emotion, and only silkscreened blankness. If Warhol's work is political, it is not political in a way that opposes capital punishment. Rather it reflects coolly and ironically upon the place of violence in the American penal system, and its acceptance of the electric chair as an instrument of justice. Even death, if it...

Volcanoes generally preserved geologic rock record eroded . However, materials erupted volcanoes found preserved rock record. From learned types volcanoes, infer type volcano erupted an area-based type volcanic deposits found layers rock? Give specific examples, briefly discuss materials linked types volcanoes. Volcanoes are some of the most interesting and at the same time intriguing manifestations of nature. They have been the object of study for decades and all types of technologies

Volcanoes are often associated with fire, earthquakes, victims and damage. The activity of nature often turns peaceful mountains with smoky tops into fire vents with lava and smoke getting out and turning everything into fire and burning it. Why do volcanoes erupt and where does such an incredible energy get from inside the earth? After the radioactivity phenomenon was discovered, especially one of uranium and thorium, scientists began to understand that the

Volcanoes Many people make the assumption that the most severe damage done by volcanoes results from the hot lava that flows from some volcanoes. For example, the lava that flows from Hawaiian volcanoes -- called "Hawaiian volcanism" -- are quite striking and make incredibly beautiful yet dangerous-looking videos and still photos. But that volcanic eruption is not nearly as hazardous as the eruption from a volcano like Mount St. Helens. This

In contract, the San Francisco 1906 earthquake could be felt moderately in a 60,000 square mile area, even though it was a smaller quake. Kobe earthquake - Occurred in 1995 and measured 7.3 on the

The area around the volcano has been a hotbed of tectonic activity since it lays near a subduction zone where rock from the Earth's mantle is pushed upward as a reaction to the nearby subduction of the Earth's crust. Since tremendous internal pressures exist due to the displacement of magma below the subduction zone's surface, the Soufriere Hills Volcano sits on top of a giant lava dome that has
