 11 facts about volcanoes
1. A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten
rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up,
eruptions occur.
2. In an eruption, gases and rock shoot up through the opening and
spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lava
flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods.
3. The danger area around a volcano covers about a 20-mile radius.
4. Fresh volcanic ash, made of pulverized rock, can be harsh, acidic,
gritty, glassy and smelly. The ash can cause damage to the lungs of
older people, babies and people with respiratory problems.
5. Volcanic lightning occurs mostly within the cloud of ash during an
eruption, and is created by the friction of the ash rushing to the
surface. Roughly 200 accounts of this lightning have been witnessed
live.
 6. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods,
earthquakes, mudflows and rock falls.
7.More than 80% of the earth's surface is volcanic in origin. The
sea floor and some mountains were formed by countless volcanic
eruptions. Gaseous emissions from volcano formed the earth's
atmosphere.
8. There are more than 500 active volcanoes in the world. More
than half of these volcanoes are part of the "Ring of Fire," a
region that encircles the Pacific Ocean.
9. Active volcanoes in the U.S. are found mainly in Hawaii,
Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington, but the greatest
chance of eruptions near areas where many people live is in
Hawaii and Alaska.
10. The sound of an eruption volcano can be quiet and hissing
or explosive and booming. The loud cracks travel hundreds of
miles and do the most damage, including hearing loss and
broken glass.
11. The most deadly eruptions have occurred in Indonesia, with
tens of thousands of lives lost to starvation, tsunami (as a
result of the eruption), ash flows, and mudflows.
•But do all
volcanoes
erupt?
First let us know
the different types
of volcano
 1.Extinct volcanoes
 An extinct volcano is one which is no
longer active and hasn't erupted in
historical times.
 Examples of extinct volcanoes
Kilimanjaro (Tanzania)
Mt Warning (Australia)
Chaine des Puys (France)
Elbrus (Russia)
 2. Active volcanoes
 Scientists use different terms to classify volcanoes. An erupting volcano is
one that is having an eruption. A dormant volcano is an active volcano that
is supposed to erupt again. An extinct volcano is one that has not erupted in
the last 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again.
 There are around 500 active volcanoes throughout the world. Between 50
and 70 of these erupt each year and 160 have erupted in the last 10 years.
Approximately 550 volcanoes have erupted since the beginning of recorded
history and some of these are now extinct.
 Generally, when speaking of volcanoes, geologists don't include those that
are underwater. Scientists believe more than 75 percent of the lava that
reaches the Earth's surface happens underwater.
 Active volcanoes show signs of unrest or are currently erupting. A volcano is
classified as extinct when the lava supply in the magma chamber of the
volcano dries up. However, on occasion, extinct volcanoes will erupt.
 Single active volcanoes may be part of long volcanic fields that can be
hundreds of miles long.
 3. Dormant volcanoes
 Volcanoes are described as dormant when they
stay cool for a long time, without spewing hot lava
and ash. They may have the ability to come to life,
but they remain dormant, or
inactive. Dormant comes from French dormir, "to
sleep," and it refers to living things that are on a
break rather than things that have died. Being
dormant is being temporarily at rest, although
sometimes, as with some cancer cells, things
become permanently
