Primary Sources In this workshop, 12 high school history teachers explore the use of primary-source documents in the research and interpretation of American history. Today, there are many active volcanoes worldwide. Is there anything we can do to predict how and when they will erupt? As the world's population grows, more and more people are living in potentially dangerous volcanic areas. Volcanic eruptions continue--as they have throughout most of geologic time--posing ever ...

HOKKAIDO-KOMAGATAKE VOLCANO, SW Hokkaido (42o04'N, 140o42'E) (11/12/98) Geologists of Hokkaido University and Geological Survey of Japan (Hokkaido Branch) surveyed ash deposits of the 25 October eruption the next day, and examined the ash under the petrological microscope. Their report on 28 October showed that mass of the deposits is several thousand tons, smaller than that of the 1996 eruption (roughly 12,000 tons). The ash consisted of rounded older (altered) rock-fragments (andesite), ...

Do you want to become a volcanologist? Many volcanologists believe they have the best jobs in the world. They have the exciting chance to study active volcanoes in beautiful and often exotic places. The volcanologist's work advances science, but also has direct importance to the lives of people who live near volcanoes. If a volcanologist says a volcano is not going to erupt, but it does, many people may die in the eruption. But if the volcanologist warns that it will erupt, many people wil ...

About Lava Molten rock below the surface of the earth is called magma. When this molten rock erupts onto the surface, it is called lava. Volcanoes erupt four basic types of magma: Basalt, Andesite, Dacite, and Rhyolite. The type of magma erupted determines how explosive the volcano will be. Magma erupts either as a non-explosive lava flow, or as an explosive eruption of ash and pumice. The type of lava is determined by the percentage of silica in the lava. Rhyolite contains the mos ...

LIVING WITH VOLCANIC AND SEISMIC HAZARDS The best defense against any natural hazard is education.

VOLCANIC HAZARDS Hawaiian volcanoes can erupt either at their summits or on their flanks. Young Hawaiian volcanoes, such as Kilauea and Mauna Loa, have summit calderas. A caldera is a crater several miles in diameter that forms as the result of collapse when magma drains from beneath the summit. (Magma is the term used for molten rock that is still beneath the earth's surface; it is called lava when it reaches the surface.) Summit eruptions of Kilauea and Mauna Loa occur within or ne ...

But volcanoes can be very dangerous. Where can a person go to be safe from an erupting volcano? What types of v ...

Principal Types of Volcanoes Geologists generally group volcanoes into four main kinds--cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and lava domes. Cinder cones Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cone ...

Volcano Monitoring and Research It has been said that the science of "volcanology" originated with the accurate descriptions of the eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 contained in two letters from Pliny the Younger to the Roman historian Tacitus. Pliny's letters also described the death of his uncle, Pliny the Elder, who was killed in the eruption. Actually, however, it was not until the 19th century that serious scientific inquiry into volcanic phenomena flourished as part of the general revo ...
