Volcanoes can cause many deaths. Once the magma chamber builds up it causes
the magma to flow out and then the volcanoe erupts.The lava flows down
the volcanoe and tourds homes and oceans. People don't know when a volcanoe
will erupt. Seens they don't ever know when it will erupt then they can't
leave fast anough and that's why most people get killed. A volcanoe doesn't
erupt every day, some don't even erupt for about 200 years.
Volcanoes are all around the world and each year they cause more deaths.
Once the magma comes out of the volcanoe it turns into lava. The lava flows
down the side and kills many people. Once the lava drys up it turns into
ashes. once the magma chamber builds up it has gasses and water. Which
the water causes steam. Volcanoe eruptions can cause tsunamis,which are
big waves. Tsunamis happen when avolcanoe erupts into an ocean and explodes.
After a volcanoe erupts scienctists study the area around it. Lots of scienctists
have been studying and soon we'll be able to know when they will erupt.
Before a volcanoe erupts it lets out gases and that's away that you can
see if a volcanoe will erupt. Volcanologists can already predict when most
earthquakes will erupt, but sometimes they can't exactly say when it will
erupt. I hope that one of these days scienctists and volcanologists can
predict when all volcanoes will erupt. For more information on volcanoes
go to volcanoes.
The Popocatepetl is covered up by snow. This volcanoe is found in Mexico. It is 13,776ft. tall. Thic volcano's name stands for th "Smoking Mountain." This volcano has been active for along time. Popocatepetl is built on an older volcanoe, which gives 12,464ft. more. The volcanoe contains of many steep lava flows. Popocatepetl almost has a perfect shape.
The shape of it has changed by, Pico del Fraile ( a peck wich remained from long ago) which sticks out of the norht west of Popcatepetl. Its crater is oval shaped and is very deep.
