    El Chichon Research Paper

    The spanish translation for the volcano name, El Chichon only means ¨THE BUMP¨. El Chichon, one of many volcanoes that have been deadly to this world. The famous caldera has an elevation of 3,773 feet, located on a convergent boundary. The volcano was considered quiet until 1982, which is now an explosive volcano. It has been said to erupt every 300 years, but there has been times when it has been overdue.

    Pavlof Research Paper

    Today, daily people from instruments around the volcano bring a continuous stream of information to scientists. Although there is very little human activity on the land immediately surrounding Pavlof , the sky above is heavily travelled. Everyday at least 20,000 international airline passengers and dozens of flights loaded with freight fly above the volcano. An eruption at Pavlof that puts large amounts of volcanic ash high into the atmosphere produces air traffic safety concerns and significant financial losses as flights must be rerouted. This is why the volcano receives so much attention from scientists. The steep slopes of no lack any vegetation. All around the volcano is a big layer of volcanic ash and rocks. An eruption in 1999 has left a wide gap of black, volcanic material around the Cerro Negro and there are two smaller volcanos right next to the volcano which were recently formed. Climbing the Cerro Negro is not like any other volcano in Nicaragua. The volcano is only about 500 meters high , the ascent is steep and tough. There is no paved trail; just a merely natural path along a rim that leads to the top. Ascent takes about one hour to the top, and although it…

    To What Extent Can Volcanic Hazards Be Managed Effectively

    The most recent eruptive period was in the 1980’s. Due to USGS (United States Geological Survey) geologists observations of a large bulge measuring 140m on the north face of the volcano. Using modern laser and radar technology they were able to track the movements of this bulge in order to predict when the volcano was in danger of erupting from a an observation tower 6 miles away. With this data collected the authorities were convinced to shut off the volcano to the local populations who make use of the volcano’s fertile soil for a large logging business and many recreational users who walk dogs or come to enjoy the views. As will be shown later, the shutting of the volcano saved many local thousands of tourists, workers and locals lives alone.…

    Mount Kilauea

    Mount Kilauea is the most famous volcano in Hawaii. It resides in the southeast in Mauna Loa. This volcano has one of the biggest craters of all volcanoes, consisting of 3,646 feet deep. It has an 8 mile circumference and is encompassed entirely by an enormous “wall of volcanic rock 200 to 500 ft high” (Mount Kilauea). “Mount Kilauea is a low and flat shield volcano that rises only 1,247 meters above sea level. Till date, the Kilauea volcano is the most active and the most visited volcano in the world” (Oak, By Manali). Mount Kilauea is the youngest volcano in Hawaii. It has a lava level of 740 ft. under the rim. “Kilauea was formed under a hot spot under the crust. So were the other volcanoes on the Big Island such as Kohala, Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. There have been 34 eruptions since 1952 and 61 eruptions total” (Mount Kilauea). Hawaii has eight volcanoes and for the moment consists of 4,038 square miles. This will not be the case for long though, because thanks to Mount Kilauea, approximately forty-two acres are added each year from the eruptions. Mount Kilauea is only one of the five still-active volcanoes in Hawaii, but it is definitely the most famous. This is due to a variety of reasons but not the least of which is the belief that the Mount Kilauea Volcano is the resting place of the infamous fire goddess Pele.…

    Iceland has a high concentration of active volcanoes due to unique geological conditions. The island has about 130 volcanic mountains, of which 18 have erupted since the settlement of Iceland in 874 AD. Over the past 500 years, Iceland's volcanoes have erupted a third of the total global lava output.[1] Although the Laki eruption in 1783 had the largest eruption of lava in the last 500 years, the Eldgjá eruption of 934 AD and other Holocene eruptions were even larger.…
