Facts we learned :
• Defined what is a Volcano.
• Discussed the nature of volcanic eruptions.
• Identified what are the types of volcanoes.
• Identified the types of volcanic eruption.
• Studied the different volcanic Hazards.
• Known the Effects of Volcanic Eruption to people.
 THE PACIFIC RING OF FIRE
The Ring of Fire has
long been an active site for
earthquakes and volcanoes
because of the active plate
boundaries. When tectonic
plates move against each
other at boundaries, they
cause earthquakes and
eruptions of magma, which
form into volcanoes.
TYPES OF VOLCANOES
 So….
How do we minimize the risk of active volcanoes?
 VOLCANO MONITORING

These three things are the most important precursors to an eruption.

• Seismicity
• Deformation
• Gas Output
• (on volcano and
remote sensing
techniques)
IN SUMMARY...
• Volcanoes are extremely hazardous.
• However, the volcano can be
studied, monitored and understood.
• Each volcano is different, and offers
a unique set of dangers
• Plans may be emplaced to help
control potential damage.
