  • The Science Behind Volcanoes
    The Science Behind Volcanoes A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from the magma chamber below the surface. Volcanoes are generally found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging. A mid-oceanic ridge, for example the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another. Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the Earth's crust in the interiors of plates, e.g., in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field and the Rio Grande Rift in North America. This type of volcanism falls under the umbrella of "Plate hypothesis" volcanism. Volcanism away from plate boundaries has also been explained as mantle plumes. These so- called "hotspots", for example Hawaii, are postulated to arise from upwelling diapirs with magma from the core–mantle boundary, 3,000 km deep in the Earth. Erupting volcanoes can pose many hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption. Volcanic ash can be a threat to aircraft, in particular those with jet engines where ash particles can be melted by the high operating temperature. Large eruptions can affect temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscure the sun and cool the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere; however, they also absorb heat radiated up from the Earth, thereby warming the stratosphere.

  • A History of Kane County, Utah Centennial County History Series
    A HISTORY OF <Kam County Martha Sonntag Bradley UTAH CENTENNIAL COUNTY HISTORY SERIES A HISTORY OF County Martha Sonntag Bradley Kane County is noted for some of the most beautiful—though often inhospitable—land in Utah and has been home to resourceful humans for thousands of years. It was outside the area of first Mormon settlement and was actually created in the early 1860s before many had moved to the area. After the Black Hawk War, settlers soon moved to favorable locations such as Kanab and Long Valley, establishing towns in the isolated region north of the Arizona Strip with economies based on ranching and timber harvesting. With the improvement of area roads and communications in the twentieth century, more people became aware of the scenic splen­ dor of the county, and tourism and movie making began to increase, Kanab even be­ coming known as Utah's Little Hollywood during the heyday of filmmaking. Traditional extractive uses of the land's resources have declined in recent years, but the recent cre­ ation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante Na­ tional Monument has brought the promise of increased tourism to the area. It also has sparked opposition from many who had hoped for coal mining development in the region. Issues of control and uses of public lands promise to be debated vigorously as the county enters the new millenium.

  • Birds of the Kanab Area and Adjacent High Plateaus of Southern Utah
    1 of Utah Biology jratSo. No.lCS&L K<P^~ UNIVERSITY OF UTAH BIOLOGICAL SERIES Vol. XI October 1,1958 No. 7 Birds of the Kanab Area and Adjacent High Plateaus of Southern Utah BY WILLIAM H. BEHLE, JOHN B. BUSHMAN AND CLIFTON M. GREENHALGH PUBLISHED BY UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SALT LAKE CITY INTRODUCTION The gateway to central southern Utah is the town of Kanab, located in Kane County just a few miles north of the Utah-Arizona line. At an elevation of 4973 feet it nestles in an indenture in the Vermillion Cliffs where Kanab Canyon emerges. North of these Vermillion Cliffs, rising like two additional great steps, are the White Cliffs and the Pink Cliffs. These lead to two table­ lands, the Paunsagunt Plateau of the Bryce Canyon National Park area with its highest point 9105 feet, and to the west, the Markagunt Plateau of the Zion National Park-Cedar Breaks National Monument area. The latter in its higher northern portion is referred to locally as either Cedar Mountain or the Parowan Mountains. The highest point is Brian Head at 11,315 feet, just north of the Cedar Breaks National Monument. North of the Paunsagunt Plateau is the Table Cliff Plateau and then comes the mightiest of all, the Aquarius Plateau. These plateaus are the highest and most extensive in North America. They were the subject of a classic study by Dutton (1880). With reference to the last named he referred to the entire broadly L-shaped tableland which is about 35 miles in length and from 10 to 18 miles in width simply as the Aquarius Plateau.

  • Proposal for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Navajo Lake Sportfish Improvement
    Proposal for Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Navajo Lake Sportfish Improvement Project Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Southern Region Project Background and Summary Navajo Lake is a popular sport fishery on the Cedar City Ranger District. Creel surveys show that this lake receives as much or more fishing pressure than blue ribbon fisheries on the District like Panguitch Lake. Fish management of Navajo Lake has varied over the years, with the primary fishery being catchable rainbow trout. Utah chub are a minnow native to the Bonneville Basin that have been shown to outcompete trout for resources in many lake systems throughout Utah, negatively impacting the quality of the sport fishery. When the chub population is dense, rainbow trout stocked at "catchable" size (10 inches) in the spring show little growth through the summer and limited survival through the winter. Rotenone was used in 1988 and 1997 to eliminate/reduce Utah chub populations in Navajo Lake when their populations rose to the level where the sport fishery was negatively impacted. In the late 2000s when chub populations began increasing the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources stocked splake (a brook trout/lake trout hybrid) into Navajo Lake in the hopes that this fish-eating species might be able to control Utah chub numbers. In the early 2010s this worked well and produced a trophy splake fishery. Winterkill in the late 2010s killed most of the splake and since that time the sport fishery has declined, and Utah chub numbers have continued to rise (Hadley, 2020). The current low water levels provides an opportunity to treat Navajo Lake at a lower cost than has been done previously.
