7. FEMA For Kids: Volcanoes
   Explains what a volcano is and identifies active volcanoes in the United States.  
   http://www.fema.gov/kids/volcano.htm
   
   Extractions: volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill the air with lava fragments. Eruptions can cause lateral blasts, lava flows, hot ash flows, mudslides, avalanches, falling ash and floods. Volcano eruptions have been known to knock down entire forests. An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flashfloods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. volcanoes in the U.S. are found mainly in Hawaii, Alaska, California, Oregon and Washington. The greatest chance of eruptions near areas where many people live is in Hawaii and Alaska. The danger area around a volcano covers about a 20-mile radius. In May 18, 1980, Mount St. Helens erupted in Washington state. It killed 58 people and caused more than $1 billion in property damage. volcanic ash, made of pulverized rock, can be harsh, acidic, gritty, glassy and smelly. The ash can cause damage to the lungs of older people, babies and people with respiratory problems.

   Extractions: With the intense media interest in the volcanic activity in Indonesia, this is a reminder that the contact details of the responsible warning authority for volcanic crises can be found at the website of the World Organization of Volcano Observatories, a commission of IAVCEI. The web address is www.wovo.org. Volcano World is proud to add Google Earth functionality to our 'Current Eruptions' page. Google Earth is a terrific (and free) PC GIS application that combines satellite data with various map data and local information. While the satellite images provided are not current, they do provide a good understanding of the geography, local populations and volcano shape. We will be adding click thru links to each volcano page over the course of the next month.

    Extractions: You can also click on the name of the region you would like to see. We have selected photographs to illustrate the variations in shape and size of volcanoes. Many of the pictures were taken by astronauts who were orbiting the Earth on the Space Shuttle. Most of the astronaut pictures were taken using normal color film and show what you would see if you were riding in the Shuttle. Sometimes the pictures show a wide area - maybe 50 miles from one side of the picture to the other. Other pictures are just a close-up of a volcano and may only be 10-20 miles wide. Astronaut pictures have numbers that begin with the letters STS . To find out about ordering copies of astronaut photos click here To VolcanoWorld

    Extractions: Volcanoes of Costa Rica i List of 122 volcanic structures of the country Main page Volcan Irazu ... Ksiêga goœci In Costa Rica there are 112 volcanic formations. They belong to so called Pacific Rim of Fire. Seven of them is considered as active ones. Their activity is connected with fertile soils, which cover the majority of Costa Rica territory. Their suddenly erruptions made in past years huge destructions. The highest Costa Rica`s volcanoe is Irazu, the most active is Arenal and Poas has the second widest crater in the world. (diameter 1,5 kilometres). In 1950`s, the terrains around each Costa Rican volcanoes were decided to be under protection. Many of them are within the national parks. Costa Rica major volcanic peaks are stratovolcanoes. The type of magma that fuels most Costa Rica volcanoes is thick, viscous, and so filled with gases that the erupting magma often blasts violently into the air. The most serious eruption was that of Irazu volcanoe in 1963. It erupted clouds of smoke and ash that kept shovering over San Jose and other parts for two years. People had been walking with handkerchief. From roofs on every day were being scraped layels of polders of even 13 centimetres thickness. Over 100 square kilometers of the surrounding land were devastated. The latest eruption in Costa Rica was of Arenal Volcanoe on August 24th, 2000. One person died and two were severly hurt. 600 residents have been evacuated. The active volcanoes of Costa Rica -Poás, Arenal, Rincón de la Vieja, Irazú, and Turrialba- are featured in a year 2002 calendar sponsored by the Volcanology and Seismology Observatory of Costa Rica. The calendar features photos taken by pilot and photographer Federico Chavarría.

    Extractions: Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. Over half of the park is designated wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site. Search
