List Of Volcanoes In Grenada
Grenada is an island formed by volcanic activity approximately 1-2 million years ago. It is said that the island is completely made of dozens of volcanoes through volcanic activity over a period of time throughout Grenada's formation in history. Ever since then, most of these volcanoes are now extinct except for two underwater submarine volcanoes Kick 'em Jenny and Kick 'em Jack (a smaller less known underwater submarine volcano.) As of today, most of these extinct volcanoes have now become volcano crater lakes and mountains such as Grand Etang Lake or Lake Antoine, Grenada and Mount Saint Catherine (Grenada) Mount Saint Catherine. This is a list of active and extinct volcanoes in Grenada. {, class="wikitable" ! rowspan="2", Name !!colspan ="2", Elevation !!

Map Grenada Volcanoes
A map is a symbolic depiction emphasizing relationships between elements of some space, such as objects, regions, or themes. Many maps are static, fixed to paper or some other durable medium, while others are dynamic or interactive. Although most commonly used to depict geography, maps may represent any space, real or fictional, without regard to context or scale, such as in brain mapping, DNA mapping, or computer network topology mapping. The space being mapped may be two dimensional, such as the surface of the earth, three dimensional, such as the interior of the earth, or even more abstract spaces of any dimension, such as arise in modeling phenomena having many independent variables. Although the earliest maps known are of the heavens, geographic maps of territory have a very long tradition and exist from ancient times. The word "map" comes from the , wherein ''mappa'' meant 'napkin' or 'cloth' and ''mundi'' 'the world'. Thus, "map" became a shortened term referring to ...

Kick 'em Jenny
Kick 'em Jenny (also: Kick-'em-Jenny or Mt. Kick-'Em-Jenny) is an active submarine volcano or seamount on the Caribbean Sea floor, located north of the island of Grenada and about west of Ronde Island in the Grenadines. Kick-'em-Jenny rises above the sea floor on the steep inner western slope of the Lesser Antilles ridge. The South American tectonic plate is subducting the Caribbean tectonic plate to the east of this ridge and under the Lesser Antilles island arc. Etymology The volcano was unknown before 1939, although "Kick 'em Jenny" appeared on earlier maps as either the name of a small island now called Diamond Rock (or Île Diamante), or the name of the strait between Grenada and Ronde Island (or Île de Ronde). The name itself may be a reference to the waters sometimes being extremely rough. Activity The first record of the volcano was in 1939, although it must have erupted many times before that date. On 23–24 July 1939 an eruption broke the sea surface, sending ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
