The 2 easiest volcanoes/earthquakes to compare/contrast?

[snowdogg187]

thanks guys, I gotta write this damn thing fast

 

[FleshLight]

Compare the deadliest? I think it would be that one earthquake in China that killed 200K and Pompeii or something.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Mt. Saint Helens and Vesuvius (Pompeii) ?

Dunno, Just 2 that came to mind.

 

[sindows]

Find two that are completely unlike each other as that'll give you the most to write about.

 

[PottedMeat]

Volcanoes:

Mt. St. Helens / Mt. Tambora or Krakatoa?

Quakes:

2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami / 1964 Good Friday Quake?

 

[LS20]

compare a felsic vs mafic volcano. pyro vs basaltic flow

you can write a book on it

 

[Kwaipie]

St. Helens and Lake Toba. Garden variety volcano with minimal implications compared to Toba, a supervolcano that some say reduced the human population down to 10,000.

San Francisco 1906 vs. San Francisco 1989

 

[SirStev0]

The two that rocked San Andras, the one in the 1800's and the one in the early 90's.

 

[jjones]

Kilauea, world's most active volcano, and the Yellowstone Caldera, a supervolcano that will devestate much of North America when it next erupts.

[andylawcc]

Mt Fuji (dead) and that Pompeii one

Cool Krakatoa was the one that leaped to my mind when I read your OP.

Hey here's a good graphic you can put in your paper to dress it up a bit, and also is a good cite to put into your bibliography:
