There are nine active volcanoes in the world. The last to erupt was Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland in April 2010, causing airports in Europe to close. The highest volcano in the world is Ojos del Salado in Chile, which last erupted in 1873 and 1993. It and Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy are two of the most active volcanoes globally. In Spain, Teide volcano on Tenerife is the tallest at 3,718 meters, higher than Etna. Within Catalonia are Croscat and Santa Margarita volcanoes near Olot, which can be visited and the latter contains a church.

This document provides an introduction to volcanology. It defines a volcano as an opening in the Earth's surface through which lava, gases, and rock fragments erupt. It describes how magma rises from deep underground to form a magma chamber near the surface, which then erupts through a vent to form a volcano. Key parts of a volcano include the vent, crater, lava flows, and sometimes parasitic cones. Volcanoes are often located along tectonic plate boundaries like the Ring of Fire around the Pacific. Earthquakes can provide information about volcanic structures and pathways. Volcanology studies volcanoes and related phenomena, while volcanism describes the geological process of material emerging from the Earth's interior.
Pompeii
Pompeii was an important city in Roman times located near Mount Vesuvius. In 79 AD, Mount Vesuvius erupted in a massive volcanic eruption, burying the city under ash and pumice. The eruption was devastating - ash blocked out the sun and made breathing difficult, trapping residents as buildings collapsed. While some initially fled, many remained until a final surge from the volcano the next morning completely buried the city. The volcanic ash preserved Pompeii, creating a time capsule of Roman life. Archaeologists later excavated the site, uncovering the preserved ruins of the city and even human remains. Pompeii provides valuable insights into Roman civilization.
Pompeii
The document summarizes the devastating eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It provides details on the timeline of events, including Vesuvius erupting on August 24th, spewing ash and lava that killed residents over the next day. Approximately 1,500 bodies have been recovered between the two cities, though the total death toll remains unknown. Mount Vesuvius is described as a composite volcano located near Pompeii and Herculaneum that has produced two different types of eruptions over time.
Pompeii powerpoint
Pompeii was an ancient Roman city located near Mount Vesuvius in Italy. The fertile land and coastal access made it a desirable settlement over centuries, with architecture reflecting successive rulers like the Greeks and Romans. In 62 AD, an earthquake damaged much of the city. After 17 years of rebuilding, Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, burying Pompeii under ash and killing about 2,000 people. The ruins left behind provide insight into Roman life and architecture at the time through preserved structures and ash-casted human remains.

Volcanoes form when magma escapes through weak points in the Earth's crust called volcanic vents. Magma rises from the mantle through cracks and fills magma chambers, building pressure until an eruption expels ash, lava, and rocks. The deadliest eruption was in 1815 at Mount Tambora in Indonesia, killing over 92,000 from starvation after blotting out the sun. Other deadly eruptions like Krakatoa in 1883 caused thousands of deaths from tsunamis rather than lava or ash. Volcanoes can be active and monitored as explosions risks, dormant if inactive for thousands of years but magma chambers could reactivate them, or extinct with zero eruption risk.
Presentation on volcanos
This presentation provides an overview of volcanoes, including their formation from plate tectonics or hotspots, the different types of volcanic features and erupted materials, classifications of volcanic activity, and notable examples. Volcanic activity can have effects on global climate through emissions into the stratosphere and impacts soil through added nutrients.
Volcano's
Volcanoes form when magma from the earth's mantle rises through ruptures or openings in the crust. The movement of tectonic plates, particularly when they separate from each other, causes pressure that can lead to volcanic eruptions. In 1883, Krakatoa erupted with a force equivalent to 200 megatons, causing massive tsunamis that killed over 36,000 people and lowering the earth's temperatures by ejecting ash high into the atmosphere.
Natural Disasters: Pompeii
Mount Vesuvius is a volcano near Naples, Italy that has erupted many times throughout history. Its most famous eruption occurred in 79 AD, destroying the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing approximately 16,000 people. During this eruption, Vesuvius ejected a deadly cloud of stones and ash 4km into the sky, throwing lava and rocks at the incredible speed of 1.5 million tons per second. This catastrophic event was one of the most famous eruptions in history due to the destruction and loss of life it caused.

The exhibit provides information about volcanoes, describing them as mountains that open downward to molten rock below the earth's surface, and that eruptions occur when pressure builds up, shooting gases and rock through the opening and causing eruptions to have effects like lava flows, ash flows, mudslides and falling ash.
Pompeii the lost city
The city of Pompeii was frozen in time when Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, covering the city in ash and lava. The archaeological site of Pompeii was discovered accidentally in the 18th century while excavating the nearby city of Herculaneum. Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli led extensive excavations of Pompeii starting in 1860, carefully digging out buildings and artifacts that provided insights into daily life and culture of the Roman era. Many artifacts uncovered, including casts of human and animal forms preserved by the volcanic material, are now displayed at the archaeological museum in Naples and the Pompeii site itself, offering the public a glimpse into an ancient civilization suddenly abandoned nearly 2,000 years ago
A Buried Roman City, Pompeii
Pompeii was a Roman town near Naples that was partially buried when Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, covering it in 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice. Along with the town of Herculaneum, Pompeii was destroyed and buried during the catastrophic two-day eruption of Vesuvius. The town remained lost for almost 1700 years before being rediscovered in 1749.

Volcanoes
Volcanoes form when magma rises from below the Earth's surface and erupts through openings called vents. As magma accumulates at the vent it builds up a mountain-like structure called a volcano. There are three main types of volcanoes defined by their shape and eruption characteristics: shield volcanoes which have broad bases and gentle slopes formed by fluid basaltic lava flows; cinder cone volcanoes which are steep-sided with a small base formed from explosive eruptions of thick sticky lava; and composite or stratovolcanoes which are large mountains formed by alternating explosive and effusive eruptions that build tall layers of ash and lava.
Volcanoes powerpoint
Volcanoes form as a result of tectonic plate movement and pressure changes below the earth's surface. When magma breaks through the crust, a volcanic eruption occurs, expelling lava, steam, ash and other materials. Mount Vesuvius is a famous volcano near Naples, Italy that formed over 25,000 years ago. Its last eruption in 1944 caused widespread damage, destroying villages and aircraft at a nearby airfield. Volcanic eruptions are powerful natural events that can have significant effects on the surrounding area.

Earth's layers power point notes
The Earth is divided into four main layers - the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. The crust is the thin outer skin of the Earth, making up only 1% of its volume. Below the crust lies the mantle, which is the largest layer and divided into upper and lower sections. Within the Earth is the core, with the outer core being liquid iron and the inner core being incredibly hot solid metals.

Volcanoes form when magma leaks through the earth's crust and onto the surface. The word "volcano" comes from the island of Vulcano near Italy, named for the Roman god of fire Vulcan. There are over 1500 active volcanoes on earth, located primarily on tectonic plate boundaries. The three main types of volcanoes are composite, cinder, and shield. When magma pushes through the crust, it can erupt violently or gently flow as lava, depending on the volcano type and magma viscosity.

All About Volcanoes
Volcanoes are remarkable geological structures formed by the eruption of molten rock, ash, and gases from the Earth's mantle. These natural phenomena can shape landscapes, create new landforms, and significantly impact both the environment and human societies. Understanding volcanoes involves exploring their types, formation processes, eruption mechanisms, and effects.
What is a Volcano?
A volcano is an opening in the Earth's crust through which magma, gases, and ash are expelled. When magma reaches the surface, it is called lava. Over time, repeated eruptions can build up a mountain or other landform around the volcanic vent.
Types of Volcanoes:
Shield Volcanoes:
Characteristics: Broad, gently sloping sides formed by the flow of low-viscosity basaltic lava that can travel long distances.
Examples: Mauna Loa and Kilauea in Hawaii.
Composite Volcanoes (Stratovolcanoes):
Characteristics: Steep, conical volcanoes made up of alternating layers of lava, ash, and volcanic debris. They are known for their explosive eruptions.
Examples: Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount St. Helens in the USA, and Mount Vesuvius in Italy.
Cinder Cone Volcanoes:
Characteristics: Small, steep-sided cones built from volcanic fragments such as ash, tephra, and volcanic rocks ejected during eruptions.
Examples: Parícutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in the USA.
Lava Domes:
Characteristics: Rounded, steep-sided mounds formed by the slow extrusion of viscous lava.
Examples: Mount St. Helens’ Lava Dome in the USA.
Volcanic Features:
Crater:
Description: A bowl-shaped depression at the summit of a volcano, typically formed by explosive eruptions.
Caldera:
Description: A large depression formed when a volcano's summit collapses or is blown away during a massive eruption.
Examples: Yellowstone Caldera in the USA.
Lava Flows:
Description: Streams of molten rock that pour from a volcanic vent and solidify as they cool.
Pyroclastic Flows:
Description: Fast-moving currents of hot gas and volcanic material that can travel down the sides of a volcano during explosive eruptions.
Volcanic Ash:
Description: Fine particles of pulverized rock and glass created during volcanic eruptions that can travel long distances.
Formation of Volcanoes:
Subduction Zones:
Description: Volcanoes often form at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate subducts beneath a continental plate, leading to magma formation.
Examples: The Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean.
Rift Zones:
Description: Volcanoes can also form at divergent plate boundaries where tectonic plates are pulling apart, allowing magma to rise.
Examples: Mid-Atlantic Ridge and East African Rift.
Hotspots:
Description: Volcanic activity that occurs away from plate boundaries, caused by plumes of hot material rising from deep within the mantle.
Examples: Hawaiian Islands and Yellowstone.

The document discusses different types of volcanoes. It explains that volcanoes are mountains that usually erupt gas, ash, and molten rock. Inside volcanoes is hot magma, which becomes lava when it reaches the surface. Some volcanoes are active and always erupting, while others are dormant or extinct. The document provides examples of specific volcanoes like Mount Vesuvius, which destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD, and Mount St. Helens, which killed 57 people during its 1980 eruption. It also briefly describes volcanoes like Teide, Etna, Nevado de Ruiz, and Krakatoa.
10 active volcanoes in the world
Active Volcanoes in the world, this is just the few of world most active volcanoes. this is based on my opinion.
Volcano
This document provides information about volcanoes, including definitions, types, and eruption processes. It begins by defining a volcano and its key components. It then describes the three most common types of volcanoes - stratovolcanoes, shield volcanoes, and caldera volcanoes - and provides examples of each. It distinguishes between active, inactive, and potentially active volcanoes, and lists some of the most notable examples in the Philippines. Finally, it outlines different types of volcanic eruptions and describes the hazards they can produce, such as pyroclastic flows, volcanic bombs, and lahars.
VOLCANIC_ERUPTION[1].pdf
Volcanic eruptions occur when magma and gases are released from a volcano, sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type is a glowing avalanche of freshly erupted magma that can flow quickly down volcano sides at over 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. To prepare, learn your volcano risks and evacuation plans, protect homes and water sources from ash, and follow official instructions to evacuate or shelter in place if warned. In the event of an eruption, immediately leave the area if warned or if a lahar, pyroclastic flow or lava flow threatens, and seek shelter indoors with windows and vents closed if ash fall occurs.
Unit 7 - Europe and Spain
Mount Etna is an active volcano located on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. It sits above the convergence of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, currently standing at 3,329 meters tall. There are many other active volcanoes located throughout Europe, particularly in Iceland, Italy, and the Canary Islands off the coast of Spain. Volcanoes form as a result of tectonic plate movement, which pushes magma up from below the Earth's surface. Europe has a variety of physical features including mountains, lakes, rivers, and plains. The climate varies across Europe from polar in the northern regions to Mediterranean along the southern coasts.
Presentation of volcanoes
Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that allow lava, ash, and gases to escape from underground. There are several types of volcanoes defined by their activity level. An active volcano has erupted within the last 10,000 years, while a dormant volcano is considered active but is not currently erupting. An extinct volcano has not erupted for over 10,000 years. The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia was one of the most devastating eruptions in history. It exploded with huge ash plumes and pyroclastic flows that destroyed surrounding villages and darkened skies for over 1,000 miles. Mount Tambora had been dormant for centuries before its massive eruption, which was the largest known
Ecological value of the volcano
Volcanoes form along tectonic plate boundaries where one plate subducts under another or where plates move apart. They can also form over hotspots far from plate boundaries. Volcanoes are classified based on the type of material they emit - effusive volcanoes emit lava flows, explosive volcanoes emit pyroclastic material, and mixed volcanoes emit both. Large volcanic eruptions can impact climate by emitting ash and gases like sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere which can lower global temperatures. The largest volcanoes on Earth are Mauna Loa and Tamu Massif, while the highest include Ojos del Salado in South America. Volcanic activity also occurs beyond Earth on other solar system bodies like Mars,

- 1. Active volcanos in the world 14th April 2010 •Nowadays there are nine active volcanos in the world. •The last volcano that erupted is in Iceland, and it is called Eyjafjallajökull. •The craters of the volcano opened in the early morning of 14 April and airports in Europe closed. http://www.geocodezip.com/v2_activeVolcanos.asp
- 2. Volcanos When volcanos erupt first comes an Earthquake, then a hole on the earth and then a loud noise. Volcanos produce high columns of smoke and they can be seen far away. Lava, rocks and toxic gases come out of the volcano. It is very dangerous but spectacular Volcanos can erupt under the sea and they can form islands. Craters are wide and they can be full of water or snow.
- 3. The highest volcano in the world • This is the Ojos del Salado volcano. • It is the highest active volcano in the world, it is 6891 metres high. • It is set in los Andes mountains, in Chile. It can be visited. • It last erupted i 1873 and in 1993 smoke and few lava came out.
- 4. Volcanos in Europe Etna volcano is in the East coast of Sicily island, next to Italy. It is the largest active volcano in Europe and it is 3,329 metres high. Only one volcano in Spain surpasses it. Do you know its name? Mount Etna is one of the most active volcanoes in the world
- 5. Tenerife island, Spain • Can you see the volcano? What’s his name?
- 6. Teide volcano Teide volcano is in the Canary Islands, in Tenerife. It is 3718 metres high. It is higher than Etna. It is an inactive volcano but you can not visit it.
- 7. Volcanos in Catalonia • Croscat volcano is in Croscat and Sta Croscat volcano Olot, La garrotxa. It is the Margarita highest volcano in Spain, It is 786 metres high above the sea and 160 metres high on the earth and 350 metres wide. • Next to it, there is the Santa Margarita Volcano. In this volcano there is a Sta Margatita’s Sta Margarita church called Santa church volcano Margarita. • You can visit both volcanos.
- 8. Questions • Which materials come out of a volcano? • What comes first? • Where is the highest volcano in the world? • What’s his name? • Can you visit it? • Is the highest volcanoe in Europe in Spain? In which island? • Can you say two volcanos in Catalonia? • Can you visit them? • What’s inside of one of them?
