 Volcanoes

We have all seen pictures like this from time to time ...perhaps you live in a country where
there are volcanoes.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about
volcanoes.
What are volcanoes? A volcano is a mountain or hill with an opening through which
steam, gases and lava from the centre of the Earth can escape into the air.
What is lava? Lava is red-hot rock which comes to the Earth's surface through the volcano. It
has a temperature of about 1, OOO Degree Celsius- ten times hotter than boiling water! Lava
can move as fast as 55 kph ... faster than most animals can run.
How many volcanoes are there in the world?
There are about 850 active volcanoes in the world. About sixty percent are in an area called
the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. The largest active volcano is Mauna Loa on the island of
Hawaii. What's the difference between 'active' and 'extinct' volcanoes?
An active volcano can erupt at any time. Extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that have
stopped erupting.
What happens when they erupt?
A volcano erupts when there is a violent escape of gases and lava from the volcano. In 79 AD,
Mount Vesuvius in Italy erupted, destroying the Roman city of Pompeii. The worst volcanic
disaster in the twentieth century was in Martinique, a French Island in the Caribbean Sea. A
volcano called Mount Pelee near the town of Pierre erupted on the morning of 8th May 1902.
Of the 30,000 people in Pierre, just two survived.
Can we predict when a volcano is going to erupt?
Nowadays, scientists usually know when a volcano is going to erupt. In 1991, the Pinatubo
volcano,
100 kilometers northwest of Manila in the Philippines, began one of the largest eruptions of
the twentieth century. Thanks to the scientists' warnings, more than 100,000 people left the
area before the volcano erupted.

is going to erupt

 Abstract
A volcano is a mountain that has a hole at the top and inside there is lava (hot, liquid rock). he
active volcano throws materials out of it. It is Ejects lava, steam, gaseous sulfur compounds, ashes
and pieces of broken rocks. There are between 840 and 850 active volcanoes in the world. The
biggest volcano is named Mauna Loa in Hawaii. The active volcano can erupt at any time and
extinct volcanoes have stopped erupting.
Erupting volcanoes are dangers and not only for the surrounding population. Also for nearby cities,
hot and fluid lava can cause considerable damage to the environment, property and endanger lives.
In addition, volcanic ash can cause damage, such as sulfuric acid rain, and cause volcanic winters
when the sun goes dark.
In some cases you can predict the eruption of a volcano. It is important that scientists are closely
monitoring any volcano. Some signs may be small earthquakes, bulging on the sides of the volcano
and a greater emission of gases from their vents. These signals do not warn of an eruption
imminent, but it helps assess the state of the volcano when magma is forming.
