Abstract

This study highlights the denominations used for currently dormant volcanoes, as well as the names used for some of them in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as a case study. This study also explains the nature of these volcanoes natural phenomena playing a major role in most geological processes contributing in the formation and development of the earth crust. On the other hand, this study has focused on identifying and analyzing some currently dormant volcanoes sites and their extension to the surface. This study used computerized programs, such as the World Geodetic System (WGS84), as well as the (ERDASIMAGINE) system to determine the volcanic sites in order to collect and analyze data. It has reached a few findings and recommendations regarding the denomination of volcanoes, the population’s safety guarantee, the resources of such areas, as well preserving the country’s landmarks

Summary

Introduction

This study focused on currently dormant volcanoes, as well as the names used for some of them by the population in official circles and scientific forums in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as a case study as in many sites in the world. This study explains the nature of volcanoes where they are considered natural phenomena that play a major role in most geological processes contributing in. Most of the earth crust components were affected by magma currents’ eruption processes to the surface forming new terrains and conical volumes of various forms that resemble hills forms or mountains and slope-like valleys in their general appearance. This study focused on analyzing the components and locations of some of the currently dormant volcanoes in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, as well as their sloping extension on the surface. There was a focus on terms used for these currently dormant volcanoes
