Studies of volcanic emissions allow scientists to compare volcanic gas output to emissions from man-made sources and to assess the effects of both past and future eruptions on the Earth's climate. Volcanic gas can also be directly harmful to humans, animals, plants, agricultural crops, and property.sually, the hazards from volcanic gases are most severe in the areas immediately surrounding volcanoes, especially on volcano flanks downwind of active vents and fumaroles. But these hazards can persist for long distances downwind following large eruptions, or from volcanoes erupting gas-rich magma.
Hammurabi's Code: An Eye for an Eye. This phrase, along with the idea of written laws, goes back to ancient Mesopotamian culture that prospered long before the Bible was written or the civilizations of the Greeks or Romans flowered. An eye for an eye ... is a paraphrase of Hammurabi's Code, a collection of 282 laws inscribed on an upright stone pillar. The code was found by French archaeologists in 1901 while excavating the ancient city of Susa, which is in modern-day Iran.
Hammurabi's code established laws by which a society abided by. It basically was like a rule book. ( said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth). It was important because it was the first one to be implemented and followed by the society.
