Tanzania and Related Hazard

About Tanzania
To begin, Tanzania has two capitals which are Dar es Salaam and Dodoma. The area of
Tanzania is 947,300 square kilometers. The current population of Tanzania is around 55 million
people. The official languages of Tanzania are Kiswahili and Swahili. The currency of Tanzania
is Tanzanian Shilling. Tanzania is the largest country in East Africa. Mount Kilimanjaro, once an
active volcano, is the highest point in Africa. Tanzania is bounded by Uganda, Kenya, Zambia,
Mozambique and the Indian ocean. Tanzania sits on an African plate. The average temperature
of Tanzania is between 27°C and 29°C.

(not highlited) = less important

There are a total of 23 volcanoes located in Tanzania territory. In general, volcanoes can
be classified in various primary types such as caldera, shield, and stratovolcano. Each type
exposes its own unique characteristics and appearance. For instance, Caldera volcano's
distinctive point is a hollow part on a peak of the mountain which occurs from the erosion.
According to the research, stratovolcano seems to be the most common volcano type in
Tanzania.

Nowadays, only fews of volcanoes are active and the majority are extinct or said to be
the volcanoes that are not expected to erupt. Mt. Burko, a stratovolcano type, is counted in the
extinct category. Ol Doinyo Legai and Meru are samples of the active volcanoes. Igwisi hills,
Kyejo, Ol Doinyo Legai, Meru, Ngozi, and Rung we are the 6 holoscene or volcanoes that have
been active in the last 11700 years. Recently, the data from Smithsonian Institution claimed that
Ol doinyo Lengai's last eruption is in 2022.

Hydrologic cycle
The hydrologic cycle is the motion of water from the ground to the atmosphere and back
again. The most important processes involved in the hydrologic cycle are evaporation,
transpiration, condensation, and precipitation. When energy from the sun heats up the
surface of Earth, the temperature of the water in lakes, rivers, and oceans will increase,
turning to a gas called vapor, and evaporating into the atmosphere. Plants and trees also lose
water to the atmosphere through their leaves, this process is called transpiration. As the
water vapor rises up into the sky, it then cools and turns back into a liquid which forms
clouds. This process is called condensation. When the clouds become too big and heavy
because of the water, they will fall back down to the ground as rain or snow, which is known
as precipitation. Then the water will be collected in the rivers, lakes, and oceans, which is
where it will evaporate back into the air and continue the whole cycle again.
Tanzania
Tanzania has two capitals, which are Dar es Salaam and Dodoma. The area of Tanzania is
947,300 square kilometers. Tanzania sits on the African plate and it is the biggest country in
east Africa. The volcanic hazard in Tanzania is classified as high. Further information of
volcanoes activity should be obtained to appropriately account for the level of risk caused by
individual volcanoes. Mt. Kilimanjaro, once an active volcano and the highest point in Africa.
There are a total of 23 volcanoes in Tanzania. However, there are only a few that are still
active and the majority of them are extinct or said to be the volcanoes that are not expected to
erupt. Mt. burko, a stratovolcano type, is counted to be extinct. Some examples of active
volcanoes are Ol Doinyo Lengai and Meru. In addition, there are 6 holocene or volcanoes that
have been active for the last 11700 years. Ol Doinyo Lengai’s last eruption is in 2022.
