THE NATURE OF VOLCANOES

Volcanoes are mountains but they are very different from other mountains. They are not
formed by folding and crumpling but by uplift and erosion. Instead, volcanoes are built by the
accumulation of their own eruptive products—lava, bombs, and tephra. A volcano is most
commonly a conical hill or mountain built around a vent that connects with reservoirs of
molten rock below the surface of the Earth. The term volcano also refers to the opening or
vent through which the molten rock and associated gases are expelled.
Driven by buoyancy and gas pressure, the molten rock, which is lighter than the surrounding
solid rock, forces its way upward and may ultimately break through zones of weaknesses in
the Earth’s crust. If so, an eruption begins. And the molten rock may pour from the vent as
non-explosive lava flows, or it may shoot violently into the air as dense clouds of lava
fragments. Some of the finer ejected materials may be carried by the wind only to fall to the
ground many miles away. The finest ash particles may be injected miles into the atmosphere
and carried many times around the world by stratospheric winds before settling out.
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth that rises in volcanic vents is known as magma,
but after it erupts from a volcano it is called lava. Originating many tens of miles beneath the
ground, the ascending magma commonly contains some crystals, fragments of surrounding
rocks, and dissolved gases, but it is primarily a liquid composed principally of oxygen, silicon,
aluminum, iron etc. Magmas also contain many other chemical elements in trace quantities.
Upon cooling, the liquid magma may precipitate crystals of various minerals until
solidification is complete to form an igneous or magmatic rock.
The heat concentrated in the Earth’s upper mantle raises temperatures sufficiently to melt the
rock locally by fusing the materials with the lowest melting temperatures, resulting in small,
isolated blobs of magma. The blobs then collect, rise through conduits and fractures, and some
ultimately may re-collect in larger pockets or reservoirs a few miles beneath the Earth’s
surface. Mounting pressure within the reservoir may drive the magma further upward through
structurally weak zones to erupt as lava at the surface. In a continental environment, magmas
are generated in the Earth’s crust as well as at varying depths in the upper mantle. The variety
of molten rocks in the crust, plus the possibility of mixing with molten materials from the
underlying mantle, leads to the production of magmas with widely different chemical
compositions.
If magmas cool rapidly, as might be expected near or on the Earth’s surface, they solidify to
form igneous rocks that are finely crystalline or glassy with few crystals. Accordingly, lavas,
which of course are very rapidly cooled, form volcanic rocks typically characterized by a
small percentage of crystals or fragments set in a matrix of glassor finer grained crystalline
materials. If magmas never breach the surface to erupt and remain deep underground, they
cool much more slowly and thus allow ample time to sustain crystal precipitation and growth,
resulting in the formation of coarser grained, nearly completely crystalline, igneous rocks.
Subsequent to final crystallization and solidification, such rocks can be exhumed by erosion
many thousands or millions of years later and be exposed as large bodies of so-called granitic
rocks, as, for example, those spectacularly displayed in Yosemite National Park and other
parts of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
Lava is red hot when it pours or blasts out of a vent but soon changes to dark red, gray, black,
or some other color as it cools and solidifies. Very hot, gas-rich lava containing abundant iron
and magnesium is fluid and flows like hot tar, whereas cooler, gas-poor lava high in silicon,
sodium, and potassium flows sluggishly, like thick honey in some cases or in others like pasty,
blocky masses.
All magmas contain dissolved gases, and as they rise to the surface to erupt, the confining
pressures are reduced and the dissolved gases are liberated either quietly or explosively. If the
lava is a thin fluid, the gases may escape easily. But if the lava is thick and pasty, the gases
will not move freely but will build up tremendous pressure, and ultimately escape with
explosive violence. Gases in lava may be compared with the gas in a bottle of a carbonated
soft drink. If you put your thumb over the top of the bottle and shake it vigorously, the gas
separates from the drink and forms bubbles. When you remove your thumb abruptly, there is a
miniature explosion of gas and liquid. The gases in lava behave in somewhat the same way.
Their sudden expansion causes the terrible explosions that throw out great masses of solid
rock as well as lava, dust, and ashes.

Read the passage then choose the best answer for the questions .

It was once believed that being overweight was healthy, but nowadays few people subscribe to
this viewpoint. While many people are fighting the battle to reduce weight, studies are being
conducted concerning the appetite and how it is controlled by both emotional and biochemical
factors. Some of the conclusions of these studies may give insights into how to deal with weight
problems. For example, when several hundred people were asked about their eating habits in times of
stress, 44 percent said that they reacted to stressful situations by eating. Further investigations with
both humans and animals indicated that it is not food which relieves tension but rather the act of
chewing.
A test in which subjects were blindfolded showed that obese people have a keener sense of taste
and crave more flavorful than non-obese people. When deprived of the variety and intensity of tastes,
obese people are not satisfied and consequently eat more to fulfill this need. Blood samples taken
from people after they were shown a picture a food revealed that overweight people reacted with an
increase in blood insulin, a chemical associated with appetite. This did not happen to average-weight
people.
In another experiment, results showed that certain people have a specific, biologically induced
hunger for carbohydrates. Eating carbohydrates raises the level of serotonin, a neurotransmitter in the
brain. Enough serotonin produces a sense of satiation, and hunger for carbohydrates subsides.
Exercise has been recommended as an important part of a weight-loss program. However, it has
been found that mild exercise, such as using the stairs instead of elevator, is better in the long run
than taking on a strenuous program, such as jogging, which many people find difficult to continue
over long periods of time and which also increases appetite.

JUST RELAX
A. Hypnosis is an intriguing and fascinating process. a trance-like mental state is induced in one person by
another, who appears to have the power to command that person to obey instructions without question.
Hypnotic experiences were described by the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, while references to deep sleep and
anesthesia have been found in the Bible and the Jewish Talmud. In the mid-1700s Franz Mesmer, an
Australian physician, developed his theory of ‘animal magnetism’, which was the belief that the cause of
disease was the ‘improper distribution of the invisible magnetic fluid’. Mesmer used water tubs and magnetic
wands to direct these supposed fluids to his patients. In 1784, a French commission studied. Mesmer’s claims,
and concluded that these cues were only imagined by patients. However, people continued to believe in this
process of ‘mesmerism’ and it was soon realized that successful results could be achieved, but without the
need for magnets and water.

B. The term hypnotism was first used by James Braid, a British physician who studied suggestion and
hypnosis in the mid- 1800s. He demonstrated that hypnosis differed from sleep, that it was a physiological
response and not a result of secret powers. During the same period, James Esdaile, a Scottish doctor working
in India, used hypnotism instead of anesthetic in over 200 major surgical operations, including leg
amputations. Later that century a French neurologist, Jean Chrcot, successfully experimented with hypnosis in
his clinic for nervous disorders.
C. Since then, scientists have shown that the state of hypnosis is a natural human behavior, which can affect
psychological, social and/ or physical experiences. The effects of hypnotism depend on the ability, willingness
and motivation of the person hypnotized. Although hypnosis has been compared to dreaming and
sleepwalking, it is not actually related to sleep. It involves a more active and intensive mental concentration of
the person being hypnotized. Hypnotized people can talk, write and walk about and they are usually fully
aware of what is being said and done.
D. There are various techniques used to induce hypnosis. The best known is a series of simple suggestions
repeated continuously in the same tone of voice. The subject is instructed to focus their attention on an object
of fixed point, while being told to relax, breathe deeply, and allow the eyelids to grow heavy and close. As the
person responds, their state of attention changes, and this altered state often leads to other changes. For
example, the person may experience different levels of awareness, consciousness, imagination, memory and
reasoning or becoming responsive to suggestions. Additional phenomenon may be produced or eliminated
such as blushing, sweating, paralysis, muscle tension or anaesthesia. Although these changes can occur with
hypnosis, none of these experiences is unique to it. People who are very responsive to hypnosis are also more
responsive to suggestions when they are hypnotized. This responsiveness increases during hypnotism. This
explains why hypnosis takes only a few seconds for some, whilst other people cannot easily hypnotized.
E. It is a common misunderstanding that hypnotists are able to force people to perform criminal or any other
acts against their will. In fact, subjects can resist suggestions, and they retain their ability to distinguish right
from wrong. This misunderstanding is often the result of public performances where subjects perform
ridiculous or highly embarrassing actions at the command of the hypnotist. These people are usually
instructed not to recall their behavior after re-emerging from the hypnotic state, so it appears that they were
powerless while hypnotized. The point to remember, however, is that these individuals chose to participate,
and the success of hypnotism depends on the willingness of a person to be hypnotized.
F. Interestingly, there are different levels of hypnosis achievable. Thus deep hypnosis can be induces to allow
anaesthesia or surgery, childbirth or dentistry. This contrasts to a lighter state of hypnosis, which deeply
relaxes the patient who will then follow simple directions. This latter state may be used to treat mental health
problems, as it allow patients to feel calm while simultaneously thinking about distressing feelings or painful
memories. Thus patients can learn new responses to situations or come up with solutions to problems. This
can help recovery from psychological conditions such as anxiety, depression or phobias. Sometime after
traumatic incidents, memory of the incidents may be blocked. For example, some soldiers develop amnesia
(loss of memory) as a result of their experiences during wartime. Through hypnosis these repressed memories
can be retrieved and treated. A variation of this treatment involves age regression, when the hypnotist take the
patient back to a specific age. In this way patients may remember events and feelings from that time, which
may be affecting their current well-being.
G. Physicians also have made use of the ability of a hypnotized person to remain in a given position for long
periods of time. In one case, doctors had to graft skin onto a patient’s badly damaged foot. First, skin from the
person’s abdomen was grafted onto his arm; then the graft was transferred to his foot. With hypnosis, the
patient held his arm tightly in position over his abdomen for three weeks, then over his foot for four weeks.
Even though these positions were unusual, the patient at no time left uncomfortable.
