161. Volcanoes: On The Edge Of An Eruption As scientists race to learn more about volcanoes, hundreds of thousands of people live in the shadow of deadly volcanoes. Find out more with the Discovery http://www.exn.ca/volcanoes/home.cfm

Volcanic eruptions are one of Earth's most dramatic and violent spectacles, proof that the Earth is a living, changing body. Within minutes of an eruption, a volcano can change the physical landscape for kilometres around, decimate entire cities, kill thousands in their wake, and even affect global climate! Since 1700 AD, volcanic activity has killed more than 260,000 people and severely disrupted local economies for years after an eruption. With an increasing population encroaching into volcano hazardous areas, scientists estimate that by the end of the millennium the population at risk from volcanoes will increase to a staggering 500 million. That leaves a formidable challenge for scientists to provide reliable and timely warnings to so many people at risk. 5 Most Famous Volcanoes of the 20th Century #1 Kilaueu Fact: Longest uninterrupted volcanic eruption in recorded history – since 1983. Spewed highest lava fountain at 1900 feet (580 m) in 1959. Where: Hawaii Height: 1222m above sea level Rate of Lava Flow: Approx. 300 feet per day

Etna is the largest volcano in Europe and is a real force to be reckoned with. Despite the constant threat to their livelihoods it is also a godsend with what it provides for the residents of the Italian island of Sicily. So much so that they live right up to the slopes and take drastic measures in order to divert the lava flow. This website will take a look at Etna, its eruptions and what consequences it's brought about since 1960.

Satellites would provide ample warning. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/planetearth/volcano_monitor_010807-1.html

advertisement Super Volcanoes: Satellites Eye Deadly Hot Spots By Robert Roy Britt Senior Science Writer posted: 07:00 am ET 07 August 2001 The latest eruption of Mt. Etna in Sicily, which has destroyed a few buildings, shut down the airport and crept into a ski area, produces dramatic nighttime video of hot rolling lava and explosive fireworks. But compared to the known history of volcanoes and even its own past, Etna's 2001 pyrotechnic show is so far geologically pathetic. Likewise, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 was a volcanic sneeze compared to what scientists say America will experience one day. And a mysterious four-inch-high bulge in the ground of central Oregon is, so far, little more than a conversation piece. Sooner or later, geologists warn, a "super volcano " will strike. able > SCIENCE TUESDAY Visit SPACE.com to explore a new science feature each Tuesday. >>Go to Science Tuesday archive page Images Graphic shows the effect a super volcano at Yellowstone would have.

Sizzling Volcanoes WebQuest!!! By Dana Liptok Introduction Task Process Resources ... Conclusion Introduction Imagine yourself standing next to an erupting volcano. The heat coming from the eruption is so hot you can fry an egg in a matter of seconds!! You can hear the earth rumble and the sound of sizzling lava flowing from the volcano. With one eruption a volcano can reshape the earth's surface, change weather patterns, and replenish nutrients to the earth's surface. Volcanoes have interested and wondered people for thousands of years and scientists are forever trying to predict the behavior of these mystical mountains. Task Your task will be to become an expert on volcanoes. Our class will get into groups of 5. Within your group you will complete volcano activities and research one of the following types of volcanoes: Shield Volcanoes Cinder Cones Spatter Cones Complex Volcanoes Composite Volcanoes Process Complete the following volcano activities and record your responses in a journal. 1.

Vote : do you feel at risk? Timeline of events Volcanoes Without doubt, erupting volcanoes are the most awesome and terrifying sights in nature. In fact, their untamed destructive firepower has shaped and influenced many ancient cultures from Pompeii, to Japan. It's estimated that one in ten of the World's population live within 'danger range' of volcanoes. According to the Smithsonian Institute, there are 1511 'active' volcanoes across the globe, and many more dormant ones that could recharge at any moment. When tectonic plates collide Like earthquakes, volcanoes form at weak-points in the Earth's crust, known as 'fault-lines'. When two tectonic plates collide, the event can provide the catalyst for volcanic activity. As one section slides on top of the other, the one beneath is pushed down into the mantle. Water trapped in the crust can cause reactions within the mantle. Why? Well, it's thought that when the water mixes with the mantle, it lowers the mantle's melting point, and the solid mantle melts to form a liquid, known as 'magma'.

Circle of Humanitarians Look Who's Helping ... Disaster Services Volcano (PDF File) Explosive volcanoes blast hot solid and molten rock fragments and gases into the air. As a result, ashflows can occur on all sides of a volcano and ash can fall hundreds of miles downwind. Dangerous mudflows and floods can occur in valleys leading away from volcanoes. If you live near a known volcano, active or dormant, be prepared to follow instructions from your local emergency officials. Before: Learn about your community warning systems and emergency plans. Be prepared for the hazards that can accompany volcanoes: Mudflows and flash floods Landslides and rockfalls Earthquakes Ashfall and acid rain Tsunamis Make evacuation plans. If you live in a known volcanic hazard area, plan a route out and have a backup route in mind. Develop an emergency communication plan. In case family members are separated from one another during a volcanic eruption (a real possibility during the day when adults are at work and children are at school), have a plan for getting back together. Ask an out-of-state relative or friend to serve as the “family contact,” because after a disaster, it’s often easier to call long distance. Make sure everyone knows the name, address, and phone number of the contact person. Have disaster supplies on hand: Flashlight and extra batteries

Welcome. .. The name of this web site is derived from a spider shaped icefield high on the north face of the Eiger, a mountain that towers above the town of Grindelwald, Switzerland. Heinrich Harrer wrote a book by the same name that documents the first attempts on this alpine face. Harrer was a member of the first team to scale the face. I developed this .sig containing a fictional quote that many people ask me about... "I'll get the rope..." Anderl Hinterstoisser, North Face of the Eiger, July 19th, 1936... Hinterstoisser, a talented young climber attempting the first ascent, pulled in his rope after succeeding in a daring traverse that opened up the route to the summit. Unfortunately, a horrific storm blew in forcing a retreat but the traverse cannot be reversed without a rope in place.

The earthquakes reached a maximum magnitude of 3.6. They occurred on the volcano's SW flank, where previous clusters had been located. The cluster had not reached the level of one that took place in March of 2004. IG reported that these types of clusters occur fairly regularly at Cayambe and could be related to changes in the internal pressure of the volcano. The earthquakes continued through at least 19 September. Source: Instituto Geofisico-Escuela Politecnica Nacional September 20, 2005
