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

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

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.

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.
