 VOLCANOES

We have all seen pictures like this from time to time ...perhaps you live in a country where there are
volcanoes.
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about volcanoes.
What are volcanoes?A volcano is a mountain or hill with an opening through which steam, gases and
lava from the centre of the Earth can escape into the air.
What is lava?
Lava is red-hot rock which comes to the Earth's surface through the volcano. It has a temperature of
about 1, OOO Degree Celsius- ten times hotter than boiling water! Lava can move as fast as 55 kph ...
faster than most animals can run.
How many volcanoes are there in the world?
There are about 850 active volcanoes in the world. About sixty percent are in an area called the
Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean. The largest active volcano is Mauna Loa on the island of Hawaii.
What's the difference between 'active' and 'extinct' volcanoes?
An active volcano can erupt at any time. Extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that have stopped
erupting.
What happens when they erupt?
A volcano erupts when there is a violent escape of gases and lava from the volcano. In 79 AD, Mount
Vesuvius in Italy erupted, destroying the Roman city of Pompeii. The worst volcanic disaster in the
twentieth century was in Martinique, a French Island in the Caribbean Sea. A volcano called Mount
Pelee near the town of Pierre erupted on the morning of 8th May 1902. Of the 30,000 people in
Pierre, just two survived.
Can we predict when a volcano is going to erupt?
Nowadays, scientists usually know when a volcano is going to erupt. In 1991, the Pinatubo volcano,
100 kilometers northwest of Manila in the Philippines, began one of the largest eruptions of the
twentieth century. Thanks to the scientists' warnings, more than 100,000 people left the area
before the volcanoerupted.
