Volcanic Eruption

Avolcanois an opening, or rupture, in

a planet's surface or crust, which
allows hot magma,volcanicash and
gases to escape from below the
surface.

Types of Volcanoes
O Composite Volcanoes
O Shield Volcanoes
O Cinder Cones
O Spatter Cones

Composite Volcanoes
O Composite volcanoes are also

calledstrato volcanoes
O They are formed by alternating layers
oflavaandrockfragments.

Shield Volcanoes
O These volcanoes are huge in size
O They are built with many layers of

running lavas
O Abroad shaped,gently
slopingcone is formed.

Cinder Cones
O These are the simplest type of volcano.
O They occur when the lava blow and fall like a rain
O These are in circular oval shape cones
O They are rarely grow larger than 1,000 feet

Spatter Cones
O Hot eruptinglavacontains just

enough explosivegas.
O When thespatterfalls back to Earth
the clots weld themselves together
and solidify forming steep-sided
accumulations.

Precautions

Before a Volcano
O Keep 3 extra air filters and oil filters on hand for your

vehicle.
O Keep 3 extra filters for your home heating/cooling system.
O Keep a roll of plastic wrap and packing tape so you can
wrap and protect computers, electronics, and appliances
from ash.
O Storeemergency foodandwaterin your home.
O Find out if your community has a warning system and know
the warning signs.
O Create an evacuation plan.
O Define an out-of-town contact for all family members to
reach to check in.
O Besides yourfamily emergency kit, have disposable
breathing masks and goggles for each family member.

During an Eruption
O Follow the directions of authorities.
O Take your family emergency kit and evacuate.
O Evacuate to an area upwind rather than downwind if possible.
O If you are unable to evacuate, Seek shelter indoors if possible.
O Close all windows and doors to keep ash out. Seal up drafts. Do

what you can to keep ash out.

O Seek higher ground - flash floods, mud, and poisonous gasses
will accumulate in low-lying areas.
O Keep your skin covered with long pants, long-sleeved shirt and
hat to avoid irritation from ash.
O Wear a dust mask or wetted handkerchief to help filter ash.
O Leave your vehicles turned off until the eruption has ended and
the dust can settle. Ash destroyed many vehicle engines during
the Mount St. Helens eruption.

After an Eruption
O Stay

inside and listen for volcano information on your

radio or TV.
O Minimize your movements and keep all windows and
doors closed.
O Drive slowly and carefully with your lights on - the ash
is slippery
O Spray your yard with your water pipe to dampen the
ash. This helps keep it from blowing around more..
O Check with your neighbors to see what help they need.
O Check in with your emergency contact to let them know
your status and plan.
O Check with authorities on guidelines for ash removal
and disposal

Last 3 Major Volcanic

Eruption
Over The
World

O In

July 15In June 1991, the

second largest volcanic
eruption of the twentieth
century* took place on the
island of Luzon in the
Philippines, a mere 90
kilometers (55 miles)
northwest of the capital city
Manila. Up to 800 people
were killed and 100,000
became homeless following
the Mount Pinatubo
eruption, which climaxed
with nine hours of eruption

Luzon Island, Philippines

O In 1883
O Ancient Krakatau was

estimated 2,000 meters in

height and radius of 9 kms.
O Its great eruption happened
in pre history in 416 as
documented in the ancient
Javanese book "Pustaka
Raja", and left 3 island as the
rest i.e. Rakata, Sertung and
Panjang Island.
O In the later expanding Rakata
comes and followed by
Danan and Perbuatan
volcanic summits.

Krakatau,
Indonesia

O In July 1912
O The largest eruption on

Earth this century occurred

at Novarupta Volcano,
Alaska, in June 1912,
creating Katmai Caldera and
the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes.
O Volcanic ash (more than
from all other historical
eruptions in Alaska
combined) devastated areas
hundreds of miles away.

Last 3 Volcanic Eruption

Over The India

O In June 8, 2005T
O This volcanic island stands in

the midst of a volcanic belt

on the edge of the Indian
O All the historical and recent
eruptions (1787 and after)
are confined within and
around an active
polygeneticcinder conein a
2km widecalderathat is
formed by the collapse of a
primitive cone of
astratovolcano.

The Andaman
Islands

O In

18th February 2003

O These mud volcanoes have
erupted sporadically, with recent
eruptions in 2005 believed to
have been associated with
the2004 Indian Ocean
earthquake.
O There are other volcanoes in the
area. TheBarren Islandvolcano
which is the onlyactive
volcanoinSouth Asiaand
theNarcondumvolcano which is
considered to be apotentially
active volcano.

Bara tang Island

O In May 2008
O Barren Island is circular (10 sq

km) and consists of a 1.6 km

wide somma and a central
cone. Barren volcano consists of
a caldera open towards the
west and a central cinder cone.
O Two spatter cones the southeastern and western flanks of
the cinder cone formed during
the 1994-95 eruption.
O Explosions and lava flows
occurred at Barren Island
volcano in April 1991.
