Volcanology Course

Description

Volcanology Diploma 

Nature is often portrayed in poetry and literature as a meditative, romantic, and loving being that is unconditional and all-giving. However, some phenomena completely shatter this image of nature- one such phenomenon is volcanic eruptions. No mortal being can stand against the might and terror of a volcanic eruption. Their slow rumbling, gradual building-up, and sudden roaring outburst have always been simultaneously scary and fantastic. What sets volcanic eruptions apart from other natural phenomena is their character of being violent and calming simultaneously.

Volcanic eruptions are destructive, but only a few find them incredibly beautiful. They realise self-important humanity that they are still no match to the might of Mother Nature. Humans might be the most intelligent creatures on the planet, but they are beneath natural forces and phenomena. However, humanity achieves progress through learning and exploring. Volcanic eruptions are beyond human control, but they can be studied and understood by people- and thus, learn to live along with them.

The Volcanology Diploma course is an incredible opportunity to explore the historical information of volcanoes, their scientific definition, the different stages of volcanic eruption, their aftermath, and the role of volcanologists in monitoring and predicting future volcanic activities.

Initially, the Volcanology Diploma course presents the learners with information about the Earth's and its oceans' structure that enables volcanic activities, the Earth's exterior and interior structure's developmental process, and seismology and movement of tectonic plates.

The Volcanology Diploma course examines the basic structure of volcanoes and their subsurface plumbing mechanisms and studies various inner volcanic structures. Additionally, the course explains the different varieties of volcanoes, volcanic eruptions, tephra, and lava that occur from explosions.

The learners will explore the chemical and biological aspects of the Earth's volcanoes, such as environmental effects, magmatic emissions, and their impact on the various fauna and flora that inhabit volcanic surroundings. Another area covered in the course includes the hydrothermal vent and its effects on ecosystems. The learners will discover global and local volcanic hazards, including Snowball Earth, acid rain, atmospheric modification, resource pollution, tsunamis, and acid rains.

The Volcanology Diploma Course concludes with reviewing the most significant volcanic eruptions documented in Earth's history, the most notable natural events in human history, an overview of recent massive explosions, and the most dangerous future catastrophes predicted by geologists.

Volcanology is a geographic field that is constantly evolving. This Volcanology Diploma course is ideal for beginners and those passionate about Earth Sciences. Everyone shares some curiosity about how these gigantic natural structures develop, form, and erupt. Still, only a few get the opportunity to delve deeper into the scientific study of volcanoes and understand what volcanologists do and how they monitor active sites.

Course Outcomes

After completing the course, you will receive a diploma certificate and an academic transcript from Elearn college.

Assessment

Each unit concludes with a multiple-choice examination. This exercise will help you recall the major aspects covered in the unit and help you ensure that you have not missed anything important in the unit. The results are readily available, which will help you see your mistakes and look at the topic once again. If the result is satisfactory, it is a green light for you to proceed to the next chapter.

Accreditation

Elearn College is a registered Ed-tech company under the UK Register of Learning( Ref No:10062668). After completing a course, you will be able to download the certificate and the transcript of the course from the website. For the learners who require a hard copy of the certificate and transcript, we will post it for them for an additional charge.
