This is some steps to help the people life near for the volcanoes and to be prepared for it. the government always want to protect the people for any dangerous case and they have many ways to protect people for any risks. Firstly, should the government to teach the community how to be in safe for many risks for the volcanoes. For example, Print brochure and distributed to the people for volcanoes to make sure they know what they do if any explosions from volcanoes happening. Secondly, should the government build many ways for escape to routes highway to save the lives of the people. In last, should the government send massage to the people for any update if the volcano will be active. For example, put an alarm bell around the city so people can heard when the explosion of a volcanoes happen. Finally, these few of the points must be handled by the government to protect the people for any risk. In conclusion, volcanoes of natural phenomena since ancient times. A lot of people live there because they were born there and they didn't have another place to move to it. In addition, the government should help people to protect them from any risk for the Volcanoes. Also, the

    Volcanic eruptions can cause damage within hundreds of miles away. The volcano ash's causes airplane engines to fail, destroys crops, contaminates water, and damages electronics and machinery. When the ash touch's the ground, burying everything, sometimes even make's buildings to collapse. Mount St. Helen's produced more than 490 tons of ash that fell over some many miles. All volcanos are dangerous. They are all scattered all over the world and we don't know when they are going to blow. The three volcanos I picked were pretty interesting. The Pavlof is the most active and one of the most active in North America. The Cero Negro is not as big as the other to volcano's I picked. The Tungurahua is a very large and pretty cool looking volcano.…

    A volcano is an earth hazard that occurs on faults between tectonic plates on a destructive boundary and an eruption is a natural disaster. A primary impact happens immediately after the disaster and before any response like death or collapsing or destruction of buildings. A secondary impact occurs later after the disaster, such less farm produce or a reduction in tourism. The severity of these impacts will differ considerably in a MEDC and LEDC where volcanic eruptions have taken place. These may be seen in the Mount St. Helen volcano eruption as well as in the Iceland volcanic eruption. They may also show that the impacts vary from volcano to volcano, place to place.…

    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.…

    Viewing an erupting volcano is a memorable experience; one that has inspired fear, superstition, worship, curiosity, and fascination throughout the history of mankind. The active Hawaiian volcanoes have received special attention worldwide because of their frequent spectacular eruptions, which can be viewed and studied with a relative ease and safety. The island of Hawaii is composed of five volcanoes, three of which have been active within the past two hundred years. Kilauea's latest eruption still continues as of today. Mauna Loa's latest activity was in 1984 and Hualalai's in 1800-1801, but is likely to erupt again within the next one hundred years. East Maui, or Haleakala, one of the oldest volcanoes, has a long eruptive history and recent activity indicates that the volcano will erupt in the near future. Last but not least, the Loihi Seamount, sometimes known as the "youngest volcano" is an undersea mountain this is still active. Scientists now believe that the hot spots lie in the ocean, deep beneath the volcanoes. These hot spots spew out of molten rock that rises to the water's surface and hardens. After doing this for a long time, the hardened lava forms an island, like the Hawaiian islands (Volcanoes Online).<br><br>The Kilauea volcano is one of the most active volcanoes on earth. It's current eruption started in January 1983, and there is no signs that the current eruption is slowing or will come to an end anytime soon. The U.S. Geological Observatory monitors the daily activities of the volcano, for example-movement of lava flows, earthquakes, surface deformation, and gas production. Kilauea has been monitored ever since, making it one of the better-studied volcanoes. Still there is much we don't understand about the inner workings of this volcano. Unlike most other volcanoes though, Kilauea is approachable. It has been called the "drive up" volcano because of the ease of access to many of its volcanic activity. On February 24, 2000, an article came…

    Living near Hawaii’s volcano, Kilauea, is not worth the risk because of the uncertainty of the volcano erupting once again. In the article, “A force of nature,” there are many dangers that can occur. The gasses emitted from the volcano is toxic, these toxic gasses could affect people’s health in major ways. One way that people’s health can get affected by the volcano is, when the gases are released into the air, the gases in the air can be inhaled. These gases can harm a human body in major ways. To a point where people can get very ill or possibly die because of amount of toxic gases inhaled. Another reason why living near Hawaii’s volcano isn’t worth the risk is because, gravel-sized rocks can be discharged into the air and come hurdling…

    Firstly, the extent to which preparation and planning can decrease effects can only be done by prediction. There are numerous ways in which volcanoes can be monitored but it does mean expense. The technology needed and the expertise in which to predict a volcanic hazard can only be generated by a good economy. Therefore some of the poorer countries cannot afford planning and such things. The impact that is experienced…

    People should not live near an active volcano because it can cause different dangers, and one example is lahars. Lahars are fast flows of mud that can do horrible damage and can travel down a hill more than 50 mph and knock down anything in it’s path such as buildings, cars, villages, and many lives are at risk. Dangerous mudflows like these can kill up to 20,000 people and leave thousands injured. An example is stated in the article, “Lahars have destroyed several villages on Indonesian volcanoes because most people live in the valleys . . . In Armero, Colombia, 21,000 died when a lahar was formed during a small eruption of Nevado del Ruiz in 1985” (Volcano Hazards). To conclude, you should not live by a volcano because your life is worth…

    Let’s begin with Mount St. Helens which is located in the pacific northwest of the United States. To be more specific it is located in Washington State and is a part of the Cascade mountain range that spans from California to Canada. It is a composite volcano, which has steep sides that are formed by alternating layers of lava flow, and pyroclastic material made up of ash and other debris. These types of volcanoes have a tendency to have very explosive eruptions and pose a great many problems for people and animals nearby1. This is in contrast to the volcanoes found in Hawaii which have slow flowing lava eruptions and few if any massive explosions. Mount St. Helens is formed by a subduction zone where the Juan de Fuca Plate plunges beneath the North American Plate causing the uplifting of the Cascade Mountains. The last eruption took place on May 18, 1980 and had such a force that was compared to 500 Hiroshima atomic bombs going off at once2. Once the explosion went off, it lead to a blast that generated a 2.8km3 mud flow that moved 22 miles at a speed of 157 miles per hour. Many studies have been done that show there is a large rotating block under it which causes friction that was likely the cause of the eruption2. When Mount St. Helens exploded when a 5.1 magnitude earthquake went off one mile below the volcano causing the bulge that had been building for months after the collapse of the summit, to suddenly collapse on the north flank. The mudflow and lava that would follow would kill many animals and 57 people. They do not know when it will erupt…
