The volcanic peak in this area is called Chances Peak‚ which had been dormantdormant: A volcano is classed as dormant when it is temporarily inactive but not fully extinct. for over 300 years. Then in 1995‚ the volcano began to give off warning signs of an eruption (small earthquakes and eruptions of dust and ash). Once Chances Peak had woken up it then remained active for a period of five years. The

wasn’t a name for volcano? Well thanks to the huge eruption in Pompeii a name was created‚Οὐεσούιος. This is because no one in their area was experiencing volcanic eruptions.

learn about for scientists. A fumarole is a vent in the ground that has heated up groundwater to such a point that it is only steam when it reaches the surface. Most of the time fumaroles form around areas of high volcanic activity‚ or by a dormant volcano. All fumaroles have a long‚ irregular shaped tube that is usually at least a few miles deep and filled with groundwater at the bottom. Pressure built up from tectonic movement can instantly heat up the groundwater and then shoot it up constantly.

preparation. Common volcanic hazards include: Pyroclastic flows‚ Ash clouds and mudslides. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot‚ dry rock fragments and hot gases that move away from the vent of the volcano at high speeds. They can reaches speeds moving away from a volcano of up to 450 mph and the gas can reach temperatures of about 1‚000 °C. They will catch fleeing victims and kill them instantly thus making them a devastating hazard. Volcanic ash is formed during explosive volcanic

Shield volcanoes Main article: Shield volcano Shield volcanoes‚ so named for their broad‚ shield-like profiles‚ are formed by the eruption of low-viscosity lava that can flow a great distance from a vent‚ but not generally explode catastrophically. Since low-viscosity magma is typically low in silica‚ shield volcanoes are more common in oceanic than continental settings. The Hawaiian volcanic chain is a series of shield cones‚ and they are common in Iceland‚ as well. Lava domes Main article:
