My fingers which were slender and flimsy started fidgeting with the buttons on the dashboard. Almost forty seconds passed‚ which was much longer for a pilot with 5 years of experience‚ to eject her seat off from the airplane. My mind was in a complete daze and was in a state of consternation. I was about to die‚ and I knew it. The scene was exactly how you could imagine it in the movies- the plane swaying side to side without proper control‚ a transient rain of burning‚ hot‚ red meteors flying from

Types of Volcano Research Composite Volcanoes: Composite volcanoes‚ also called strato volcanoes‚ are formed by alternating layers of lava and rock fragments. This is the reason they are called composite. Strato-volcanoes often form impressive‚ snow-capped peaks which are often exceeding 2500m in height‚ 1000sq.km in surface‚ and 400km3 in volume. Between eruptions they are often so quiet they seem extinct. To witness the start of a great eruption requires luck or very careful

Volcanoes--sinister and dangerous creations that wreak havoc and death‚ demanding fear and reverence from all. But yet‚ people show none. They have busy lives and don’t have time for "silly" things such as destructive volcanic eruptions. On top of that‚ they have all seen the movies in which people have effortlessly escaped the wrath of magma flow of "the rather gentle and atypical volcanoes in Hawaii." These people willingly‚ and sometimes unknowingly‚ make themselves easy prey for volcanic eruptions

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:
