Description

In numerous instances throughout history, volcanoes have spewed a lethal mix of ash and rain to surrounding cities. In the United States, volcanoes in the Cascade Range and Alaska (Aleutian volcanic chain) are part of the Ring, while Hawaiian volcanoes form over a 'hot spot' near the center of the Ring. There are volcanoes on some of the Moons of Saturn and Jupiter that lack atmospheres, and their eruptions DO go into space! This story is a great way for children to learn about what happened during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius - perhaps the most famous volcanic eruption in history. A volcano is a type of mountain that caves downwards to a pool of molten rock, which is below the Earth’s surface.

km) above sea level, making it the highest active volcano in Eurasia, and the largest active volcano in the Northern Hemisphere.Each volcano around the world can have a unique sound as there are reports of some eruption to be relatively quiet. Volcanoes can be found in various parts of the world, ranging from well-known and highly active ones such as Mount Vesuvius in Italy, to lesser-known and dormant ones like Shiveluch Volcano in Russia. Although volcanic eruption forecasting is not 100% accurate, the latest technologies we have can reduce the risk of mishaps through evacuation, until an effective “engineered volcano” has transpired.

The Thrihnukagigur Volcano in Iceland can be visited by tourists during a short period in the summer (Don’t worry - it hasn’t erupted for 4,000 years). Tours from Argentina will take approximately 13 to 15 days while the Chilean side takes about nine to 15 days, depending on the hiker’s capabilities.Inside these types of volcanoes, the lava is super thick and sticky, which makes them really explosive when they erupt. The VEI or Volcanic Explosivity Index has its classifications and description that starts from 0 to 8. The eruption at Katmai was the largest and most violent eruption ever to occur within the United States. One can say, for example, that large lava flows erupt from Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, referring here to the vent; but one can also say that Mauna Loa is a gently sloping volcano of great size, the reference in this case being to the landform.

Examples of these kinds of volcanoes include Mount Vesuvius, which erupted in 79AD and destroyed several settlements including Pompeii, and Mount St. Most volcanoes, such as those of Japan and Iceland, occur on the margins of the enormous solid rocky plates that make up Earth’s surface. There is no definitive evidence that an eruption at one volcano can trigger an eruption at a volcano that’s hundreds of kilometers/miles away or on a different continent. The Facts Readers series bridges the gap between short, digestible knowledge nuggets and informative sustained reading. For example, there are volcanic fields, which are made up of hundreds of individual eruption centres, including cinder cones and shield volcanoes.Yellowstone hosts the world's largest and most diverse collection of natural thermal features, which are the surface expression of magmatic heat at shallow depths in the crust. Stratovolcanoes tend to form at subduction zones, or convergent plate margins, where an oceanic plate slides beneath a continental plate and contributes to the rise of magma to the surface. Unlike most mountains which are pushed up from below, volcanoes are built up by an accumulation of their own eruptive products such as lava, ash flows, airborne ash, and dust. For those living alongside volcanoes, knowing about volcanic hazards is just one way that people can reduce their risk.

Ojos del Salado in Chile is the tallest composite volcano on Earth with a summit elevation (height above sea level) of 22,615 feet; the tallest in the U.This labelling activity will help children to reinforce their knowledge of the different parts of the volcano, such as the ash cloud and lava flume.
