typically reach 160 metres (520 ft) and some superbursts are known to have reached 500 metres (1‚600 ft).[14] Recent scientific work indicates that the Earth’s crust below the zone may be as little as 5 kilometres (3 mi) thick. Beneath this lies a film of magma 50 km wide (31 mi) and 160 km long (99 mi).[ Due to the high rate of volcanic activity in Iceland‚ it is home to some famous geysers in the world. Geysers and hot springs are distributed all over the island. Many of the geysers are located in Haukadalur

Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18‚ 1980. The volcano‚ located in southwestern Washington‚ used to be a beautiful symmetrical cone about 9‚600 feet (3‚000 meters) above sea level. The eruption‚ which removed the upper 1‚300 feet (396 meters) of the summit‚ left a horseshoe-shaped crater and a barren wasteland. Today the land is healing‚ having recovered its natural beauty‚ but the landscape has been permanently altered. Native Americans in the Pacific Northwest called the mountain "Louwala-Clough"

that run through the Atlantic‚ Pacific and Indian Oceans. The mountains in the mid-ocean ridges can actually grow tall enough to create islands such as Iceland or the Azores. Other volcanic mountains can form over hot spots‚ which are pockets of magma beneath the crust that erupt onto earth’s surface. The Hawaiian Islands are actually the tops of really high volcanic islands that have formed over a hot spot on the sea floor. The main Hawiian island is actually a volcano that is about 9 km above

Formation of Volcanic Islands When people think of volcanoes‚ most would imagine a deadly explosion of liquid hot magma that ruthlessly obliterates anything in plain view. If volcanoes demolish everything in sight then how did life become what it is today? Volcanoes are not just a source of destruction and mayhem‚ long before civilization‚ while the earth was still being developed its apocalyptic surface consisted of nothing but molten rock and volcanic eruptions were a common occurrence; it was

cities. Here in the Philippines‚ when Mount Pinatubo erupted the whole place was covered in mud flow and ashes fall. During the eruption some people evacuated. A volcano can cause many avalanches. While magma is still in the earth’s crust it causes cracks on the earth’s surface showing the magma. Mud slides are so powerful they can push rocks over or even the strong wall to collapse. Avalanches are sometimes made from when a volcano erupts. Volcanoes can be very dangerous in many ways. Some things

fragments from a vent (Plummer‚ 2007). A volcano consists of a volcanic cone‚ craters‚ vents‚ necks and fissures within its physical form. But volcanoes have more to them that isn’t seen so easy from a distance‚ volcanoes also consist of magma and lava. Magma is the molten rock and trapped gasses that are found beneath the Earth’s surface. Lava is the molten rock that is found on or above the Earth’s surface.
