 INTRODUCTION

In this paper we will talk about all the information about volcanoes. This work is
related to volcano theory. We chose this topic because we were very interested in
informing about the volcanoes. This report is divided into subtopics that specifically
address a different characteristic.
Today about 1300 volcanoes are associated with the continent's tectonic plates.
These constitute the only direct communication to the deep levels of the earth's
crust. The earth's crust experiences small movements, only registered for special
devices with extraordinary sensitivity.
 KNOW MORE OF VOLCANOES

The name volcano comes from the roman god Volcano, is considered one of the
forces nature's most powerful, but even though it has been seen for a long time
with fear or fright, because of its great strength, the volcanoes with their beautiful
landscapes have captivated the attention of many citizens and many researchers,
these are a symbol not only of beauty but of homeland history, they carry the
traces and traces of an entire history that shows us an evolution geological and
social, these natural forces are subject to many studies and there are many
volcanologists who continue to dedicate their lives to understand how these work
completely wonderful views.

Volcanoes are considered a geological structure made up of extrusive rocks, lavas

and pyroclasts, considering that the volume and distribution of these depends on
the type of eruption, the temperature at which the emitted magma is found and the
type of conduit volcanic.

Depending on the type of rash:

- Hawaiian: Fluent lava and no explosive gases. Lava overflow is seen when
it passes the crater, it slides very easily forming large currents at very
distances big.

- Strombolian: Fluid lava, there is a lot of gas evolution and quite violent.
When the lava overflows at the edges of the crater, descends the slopes,
but does not have an extension as big as the Hawaiian eruption.

- Vulcaniano: The gases of the magma that are little fluid but that can be
consolidated are released fast. The explosions are fast but since the gases
are released, they break the surface, so it is rough and irregular.

- Peleano: Lava very viscous and consolidates very fast, gets to completely
cover the crater, elevates the plug forming a needle.

Some volcanoes
- The Machin volcano is in the department of Tolima, it is considered a ring
pyroclastic of about 2.4 km in diameter, is a volcano at rest. Your activity is
at Holocene. Its geological process is quite short and characterized by its
explosiveness, the emitted volcanic products are domes, of which three plug
the volcanic conduit, pyroclastic flows of ash and pumice, of ash and blocks,
in addition to deposits that It comes from mudflows.
 The volcano has several attractions, your activity fumaroles and hot springs,
the facility to enter the annular complex (the volcano has a form of
pyroclastic rings that intersect, its height is not more than 100 m, in the
interior some plains are formed, 10 years ago in one of these plans had a
lagoon), the skirts where agricultural activity is developed, in addition that
you can observe the national tree (wax palm).

- Santa Helena volcano located in the city of Olympia in the United States is
a stratovolcano, it is a dome that formed when the chimney expels small
amounts of magma in the form of lava, and since it is very viscous it does
not manage to travel many distances and does not have enough gases to
create an explosion this accumulates in the chimney and therefore forms a
dome.
You can see in almost half of the surface great vegetation (Cedar, mosses,
ferns), the plants grew again by the action of the great fertility of the ashes
and the mud. But now that there are risks of mudslides due to the rains and
heavy snow, since helicopters fertilizers are provided on the slopes more
difficult to access in order to promote growth.

- Nevado del Ruiz volcano is an active stratovolcano. Its eruptive history

has about 18 million years, which means that its activity has begun in the
Pliocene.
This volcano has passed by several processes, ancestral Ruiz, Ruiz old and
Ruiz, where it was in constant construction and destruction of its structure,
which generated the deposits of pyroclastic flows, avalanches of rubble,
lahars and domes. The volcano is covered by snow, which makes it quite
attractive with an ice volume between 1200 and 15000 million meters. It is a
volcano with a lot tourist attraction since it has hot springs, fumaroles, ice
climbing routes, besides that it is part of the Los Nevados National Natural
Park.

- Galeras Volcano is located in the department of Nariño, its previous name

was Urcunina (mountain of fire) that is due to the Quillacings Indians, was
called Galeras by first Spanish conquerors, because it resembles galleys or
ships with sails with, they were sailing. Today the Galeras volcano is an
eruptive center and is active. In the around the volcano we find small
villages, largely farmers who they take advantage of the fertile soil of the
volcano. In addition, tourism increased with the beautiful landscape that you
can see, we not only find flora and fauna but also traces and traces left by
the eruptions over time.
 CONCLUSIONS

To conclude, it can be said that volcanoes are a broad field of study because it has
scientific, historical, biological and cultural connotations; even though these are
always are related to destructive and deforming forces of landscapes, it should be
taken into account that these are also related to the landscape beauty resulting
from evolutionary processes of millions of years. Therefore, you should also create
a culture of education, not only for its geological and destructive characteristics, but
also for its impact on the culture, tourism and landscape beauty in the world.
