eruption. “Sometimes the magma chamber breaks its sides and only reaches to the flank or summit of volcano and sometimes reaches the surface causing an eruption.” That is why a volcano erupts when pressure on the magma chamber causes the magma to rise and come out together with gas‚ rocks and ashes. Violence of an eruption depends on how much pressure the volcano is under before it erupts. (How do volcano erupt) “In a volcanic eruption‚ hot lava spews out from beneath the Earth’s crust up to the Earth’s

This volcano had its largest eruption on May 18‚ 1980. The ash and dust from the eruption reached as far as the Central United States. A total of 57 people died during the eruption that lasted 9 hours. 85 miles of highway and 15 miles of railways were destroyed. What would someone say about this natural disaster who was there? It was a normal day for my grandma‚ but when she turns on the news it became very far from normal. She see’s that Mt. St Helens erupts. After that‚ she looks outside‚ but

What causes a volcanic eruption? When a part of the earth’s upper mantle or lower crust melts‚ magma forms. A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged. Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption‚ three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma‚ the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. What follows is a brief description

track to being burnt out. Over the last two years I have learned that it is necessary to have balance my life. I decided to reward myself for achieving and maintaining this balance with a vacation to Hawaii. While there I enjoyed the beach‚ visited a volcano‚ explored a tropical rain forest‚ and slept outdoors. Immediately upon arrival I headed to the beach and buried my feet in the gleaming hot white sand. I stood on the edge of this breathtaking tropical island and saw water so blue‚ that it more

risk of a major volcanic disaster because it is not located near a volcano hotspot‚ or a destructive plate boundary. Other reasons why some places are more at risk than others is because of their prediction‚ mitigation and evacuation systems. In richer countries like the United States‚ they have the equipment and expertise to predict volcanic eruptions and the use of media also helps to spread the work quicker than other volcano affected places such as Indonesia. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens

can also be seen as an economic impact. In 2002 a huge column of ash was thrown up from the biggest eruption in recent years and was deposited as far away as Libya. Seismic activity associated with these eruptions caused the eastern flanks of the volcano to slip by 2m‚ causing structural damage to many houses. Lava flows completely destroyed the tourist station at piano Provenzana and part of the tourist station at Rifugio Sapienza. The airport at Catania was forced to close as the runways were covered

first and most important reason is that it is expensive to move away from volcanoes. There are people who cannot afford to move away and most of them are in denial and hope that these volcanoes nearby them will not erupt again. After all‚ when a volcano has long been dormant‚ it is easy to assume and hope that it will not erupt why you live near it. Minerals Magna rising from deep inside the earth contains a range of minerals. As the rock cools‚ minerals are precipitated out and‚ due to processes

Nevado del Ruiz is a volcano in Colombia‚ the northenmost and highest Colombian volcano‚ located at the in the northern most tip of the Andes in South America. Nevado Del Ruiz is a broad‚ glacier-covered volcano that covers more than 200 square kilometers. Has the volcano erupted before? In 1595 and 1845 summit eruptions melted snow and ice and produced mudflows that traveled tens of miles from the volcano‚ these mudflows were confined to the valleys that drain the volcano. The 1595 eruption sent

range‚ and certainly is the most active volcano in the area today. In fact‚ it has probably been the most active of the Cascade volcanoes for over 4000 years. If the eruption of 18th May 1980 follows the pattern of previous eruptions the mountain will remain very active for perhaps ten or twenty years before beginning to quieten down again. The 1980 eruption was the first time that it was possible to use modern technology to carefully monitor a volcano as it built up towards a violent eruption
