The PowerPoint presentation summarizes information about 8 different volcanoes: Mount Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Mount St. Helens, Mount Tambora, Mauna Loa, Eyjafjallajokull, Mount Pelée, and Kilauea Volcano. Pictures and brief descriptions are provided for each volcano, discussing their eruptions, impacts, and features. The presentation concludes with a short quiz asking which two volcanoes were not included in the pictures.

1. In this PowerPoint I will be telling you about
Volcanoes and what they do. There will also
be a test at the end to see if you can
remember 5 facts at the end!
Volcano’s

2. Mount Vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius is the active volcano that looms over the Bay
of Naples in southern Italy, has erupted well over 30 times
that we know of. And yet its most famous eruption took place
all the way back in A.D. 79, when a multiday eruption of lava
and ash covered the cities of Pompeii in ash. Pliny the
Younger, author of the only surviving eyewitness account,
described a sudden explosion followed by blankets of ash
that fell on people as they tried to escape. The total number
of Vesuvius victims will most likely never be known, but
archaeologists are aware of at least 1,000.

3. Mount Vesuvius
Here is a picture of Mount Vesuvius! Mount Vesuvius is one of the most famous
volcanoes in the world and looks over Naples and the Bay of Napoli in the south of
Italy.

4. Krakatoa
In 1883, the volcano on the Indonesian island of Krakatoa
Erupted with 13,000 times the power of an atomic bomb.
Hundreds in a nearby Sumatran town died almost instantly
when flaming ash destroyed their homes, and many more
were washed away by mega tsunamis. Krakatoa itself then
slumped into the boiling depths of the ocean, but a new
island at the site was spotted in 1927, and it still occasionally
spits lava into the sky.

5. Krakatoa
Here is a picture of Krakatoa! An estimated 36,000 people died and 42,000
people were made homeless.

6. Mount St. Helens
Mount St. Helens was getting ready to burst for
nearly two
months before it exploded, not to mention the more
than 120
years it lay dormant. At 8:32 a.m. on May 18, 1980,
a 5.1-
magnitude earthquake triggered a sideways blast
swept the
mountain’s north out some 15 miles at speeds of at
least face
away into a cascading landslide that shot hot ash
and stone out

7. Mount St. Helens
Here is a picture of Mount St Helens! A steam plume rises from the gaping
maw of Mount St Helens two years after its May 1980 eruption.

8. Mount Tambora
Tens of thousands of people were killed by the
apocalyptic eruption, subsequent tsunamis
and ensuing starvation and disease. The
largest volcanic eruption in recorded history
changed the world's climate so much (even
crops in Europe and North America failed) that
1816 became known as "the year without a
summer."

9. Mount Tambora
Here is a picture of Mount Tambora! Tambora itself shrank several thousand
feet and traded its peak for a massive crater at its summit.

10. Mauna Loa
It's fitting that the state created out of a chain
of volcanic islands would be home to the
world's largest volcano. Mauna Loa is located
on the Big Island of Hawaii and in addition to
being the largest, with a summit nearly 13,700
feet high, it is also one of the world's most
active.

11. Mauna Loa
Here is a picture of Mauna Loa! Since 1843, Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times,
most recently in 1984.

12. Eyjafjallajokull
It was like an overly contrived disaster flick: A
mammoth cloud of ash from an Icelandic
volcano creeps across the European continent,
shutting down airports and stranding hundreds
of thousands for days. Across the globe,
people curse the volcano — or attempt to,
since few can actually pronounce the name
Eyjafjallajokull.

13. Eyjafjallajokull
And despite all our technological prowess, human ingenuity is shown to be
futile in the face of an ash plume.

14. Mount Pelée
Mount Pelée, standing more than 4,500 feet
high on the French Caribbean island of
Martinique, erupted violently in May 1902,
killing nearly 30,000 people — effectively the
entire port city of St. Pierre. The catastrophe
was so devastating that the term pelean — to
describe that particular kind of ash, gas and
fiery cloud eruption — became part of volcanic
vernacular.

15. Mount Pelée
Here is a picture of Mount Pelée! After the town was wiped out, Pelée went dormant for
some months, until geologists discovered a lava dome, dubbed the tower of Pelée, that
rose to more than 1,000 feet above the crater floor before eventually crumbling in March
1903.

16. Kilauea Volcano
Kilauea is the youngest and most active
Hawaiian shield volcano, located on the
southern part of the Island of Hawai'i, known
as a Big Island. Hawai'i is the southern most
and largest of the island chain, which owes its
Existence to the very active Hawaiian hot spot.
At present, Kilauea volcano is still having one
of the most long-lived eruptions known on
earth, which started in 1983 on the eastern rift
zone.

17. Kilauea Volcano
Here is a picture of Kilauea Volcano! Its eruptions are prominent in Hawaiian Polynesian legends and
written documentation about its activity go back to only 1820s when it started to attract interested visitor
from all over the world and became one of volcanology's hot spots.

18. Which 2 Volcanoes are
missing?
 Mount Vesuvius
 Krakatoa
 Mount St Helens
 Mount Tambora
 Mauna Loa
 Eyjafjallajokull

AND MOUNT
TAMBORA YOU
WHERE...

20. CORRECT!!!
