7. Augustine Volcano, Alaska: The most active volcano in Alaska


Islands is the most beautiful, peaceful, non-violent, silent, and a unique place on Earth. despite being a tropical island composed of sand beach, or a volcanic island of beautiful and lofty mountain peaks, they are seen from outer space inspired to immortalize taken by astronauts and satellites from space. Here are 10 of the most beautiful islands of the quoted blognyajose.blogspot.com
1. Atafu Atoll, Tokelau, Pacific Ocean: uninhabited About 500 people who live in Atafu Atoll, mostly in a village that can be seen in the left corner in the picture above. mammoth Atafu only five miles wide and is the smallest of three atolls in the Tokelau Islands, a New DiSelandia region.
Atafu composed mammoth of coral reefs that surround the sides of a volcano that has since become inactive and submerged. Like many tropical mammoth atolls, Atafu very low lying and vulnerable to sea level rise. This photograph was taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station in January.
2. Onekotan Island, Russia: There's An island, the island was made after a major eruption about 9,000 years ago led to the summit of the volcano mammoth Onekotan it collapses, forming a caldera that then filled with water. Krenitzyn island inside the caldera known as Peak, the highest point on the island mammoth is around 4,300 feet.
Onekotan in Russia's Kuril Islands between Japan and the end of the peninsula Ka * m * c * h * a * t * k * a. The islands were formed by volcanic activity mammoth caused by the subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the Eurasian mammoth Plate. Subduction can also produce some of the largest earthquakes on Earth, including 9 major earthquake in 1952 which was followed a week later by the eruption history Krenitzyn only.

3. Galapagos Islands, mammoth the Pacific mammoth Ocean: the Galapagos Islands are volcanic peaks on the ocean floor off the coast of South America along the equator. The volcanic activity that formed the islands are considered the result of a plume of hot mantle material rising from deep within the Earth's interior. mammoth
The largest island, Isla Isabela, made of lava flows gently mammoth sloped six shield volcanoes. The most northern part of Isabela mammoth 's volcano, at the top of the picture above, is Wolf Volcano, which had erupted at least nine times since 1797. This image was taken by the Landsat 7 satellite in 2001.
4. Maldives, Indian Ocean: Maldives consists of 1,192 small coral islands mammoth adds up to only 115 square miles. Approximately 330,000 people live in the islands, the average height of a little more than 3 meters. mammoth This is probably the lowest country in the world.
5. Henrietta Island, East Siberian Sea: This glacier-covered island Russia only 6 miles wide. Under the ice, the island consists of 500 million years of volcanic rock overlain by younger sedimentary rocks. This image taken by the Advanced Land Imager (ALI) on NASA's Earth Observing-1 satellite on 30 April 2009.
6. Eleuthera Island, Bahamas: Formation spectacular underwater in the west island of Eleuthera is made of calcium carbonate sand that has eroded from the reef and deposited in the dunes by the ocean currents.
This 2002 image captured by astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Located in the central Bahamas, Eleuthra Island is 110 miles long, and in places more than a mile wide. Approximately 8,000 people live there.
7. Augustine Volcano, Alaska: The most active volcano in Alaska 's Aleutian arc, Augustine mammoth Volcano eruption history occurred in 1883. Has erupted over 40,000 years. This image, captured by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Radiometer on NASA 's Terra satellite in April 2006, shows the steam or ash which is at the end and a few months of explosive eruptions.
8. Lasser Sunda Islands, Indonesia: Three largest island in this image, mammoth and many smaller ones, make up Indonesia's mammoth Komodo National Park was established in 1980 to protect the world's largest lizard species, the Komodo. The total area of the park is 230 square miles. The islands are volcanoes mammoth are caused by the collision of two tectonic plates. This image taken by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer on NASA's Terra satellite
9. Hawaiian Islands, Pacific Ocean: Hawaiian Islands formed by the upwelling plume of hot mantle material, which is called a hotspot. Such as the Pacific mammoth plate moves over the hotspot, the first island chain was formed growing up when they are actively erupting, and then slowly eroded and sank beneath the ocean surface as the earth's crust and the crust cooled at their base.
