Pat I. Volcanoes and Volcanic Hazards (Chapter 4) 1. Between 2001 and 2012, 41 volcanic events occurred worldwide. 2. 11 eruptions with VEI>=3 erupted from 2001-2012 3. Some volcanoes that were erupted and associated with tsunamis are: * Name: Stramboli
Eruption type: stratovolcano
Location: Italy * Name: Soufriefe hills (2003) Eruption type: stratovolcano Location: W indies
* Name: Soufriefe hills (2006) Eruption type: stratovolcano Location: W indies * Name: Kasatochi Eruption type: stratovolcano Location: Aleutian Is 4. The type of volcanoes that produced these explosive eruptions (VEI 3>=3; 2001-2012) is the strato-volcano. The nature of these volcanoes in general. Is that they have deadly pryoclastic flows of hot fragments and toxic gases the explosive nature comes from silica in the magma. The few other types of volcanoes are shield, cinder and complex (compound) volcanoes. One type of volcano is, Etna this volcano is also entitled a “strato volcano” it produces violent activity including lots of ash, lava and gas which causes danger to the population around any slopes nearby. Etna’s type of magma is high in silica when it occurs it’s accompanied by other large lava flows. 5. Deaths: Mayon (2006) Injuries: merapi (2010) Damage: merapi (2010) highest of 4 (extreme) 6. Yes, I did find a relation between these volcano effects including deaths, I feel overall there were less damages and more deaths and injuries the numbers were very high between those areas. As far as the damage there was only one volcano that did the highest (merapi) in 2010. For example, Nyiragongo had some deaths and many injuries, meaning that this volcano was harmful during eruption; but the Mayon in 2006 had “very many” for deaths but no injuries or damages, so it all depended on the deaths to determine the number for injuries and how much damage it did.
