Slide 6
Information Height: 688 m / 2257 ft Type of volcano:
pyroclastic shield Eruption style: Explosive Active volcano Rabual
Papau New Guinea is still active this very day.
Slide 7
History The volcano formed by lava flowing down the side and
hardening making the mountain tall after a while. The last eruption
of Papau New Guinea was September 23, 1994.
Slide 8
History Papau New Guineas town was coated in ash through all of
the air. Many died and 30,000 were evacuated. It covered the whole
town of Papau New Guinea. The surrounding area was very dark for
about 7 days and then the ash started to spread so people started
to evacuate New Guinea.
Slide 9
History The eruption had a secondary which was there was
clouds, rain, and lightning. The type of plate boundary is
divergent.
Slide 10

Facts: -Mt. Puyehue is 7,349 ft. it is a very active volcano.
-Chiles chain of about 2,000 volcanoes is the worlds 2 nd largest
after Indonesia. -Mt. Puyhue is a strato volcano.
Slide 30
History of Mt. Puyehue. -Mt. Puyehue erupted Saturday June 4 th
2011. -After 51 years of inactivity,an earthquake with a magnitude
of 5, and this happened with 8 earthquakes happened to shake the
earth around Mt. Puyehue. - The volcano itself had not erupted from
its caldera instead it has ripped a huge gash into the surface of
earth.
Slide 31
History of Mt. Puyehue # 2 the longest time it blew its top off
was in 1929 when it erupted for 3 months between December and
February.
Slide 32
-History #3 of Mt. Puyehue on October 17 2011 the volcano erupt
again it was so dangerous with lightning flashing it was so bad
they had to close all airlines. thats how bad it was.
Slide 33
Future of Mt. Puyehue due to its activeness it will probably
erupt again over time.if you want to take a trip to Chile you
probably not want to go while the volcano is about to erupt.

Mount Etnas Eruptions 1999,1998,1995 -the eruptions send lava
and ash all over the island 1991-1993-lasted hours and was very
damaging. Chunks of volcanic rocks formed into cinder blocks which
were used for walls and Gates.

growing slowly There are more eruptions in the Future More
eruptions because it is still growing
Slide 57
Kilauea, Hawaii
Slide 58
Kilauea is located in Hawaii
Slide 59
IS it active,dormant or extinct IS it active,dormant or extinct
THIS VALCONO IS ACTIVE. KILAUEA, HAWAII
Slide 60
History of Kilauea The summit of the volcano is high because
eruptions are more frequent there than at any other single location
on the volcano. However, more eruptions actually occur on the long
rift zones than in the summit area, but they are not localized,
instead constructing ridges of lower elevation than the summit.
Eruptions along the east and southwest rift zones have build ridges
reaching outward from the summit some 125 km and 35 km,
respectively.
Slide 61
History When Kilauea began to form is not known, but various
estimates are 300,000-600,000 years ago. The volcano has been
active ever since, with no prolonged periods of quiescence known.
Geologic studies of surface exposures, and examination of drill
hole samples, show that Kilauea is made mostly of lava flows,
locally interbedded with deposits of explosive eruptions. Probably
what we have seen happen in the past 200 years is a good guide to
what has happened ever since Kilauea emerged from the sea as an
island perhaps 50,000-100,000 years ago.
Slide 62

Slide 63
History Kilauea volcano is probably amongst the most active
volcanoes of the world and may probably top the ranking. It is the
youngest volcano of the Hawaii. Ever since 1983 the volcano has
been continuously erupting from its east rift. The Kilauea volcano
has erupted 62 times in 245 years, and 34 since 1952. The lava
flows towards the Pacific Ocean. Most of the Kilauea surface
comprises of the lava which is around 1000 years old and some parts
which dates back to 600 years old. The eruption that began on 3rd
January 1983 still continues and the lava flow travels 12 km to
finally vent into the sea. The Kilauea volcano eruption of the 1790
had taken away several lives. On March 25th of 2008 when the lava
of the volcano reached the coast of Puna, there was a spectacular
display of color and light. Since then the civil defense officials
of Hawaii have set up a viewing point for the visitors to witness
the amazing display when the lava meets the ocean.

Location of Taal on the map. Taal is located in the
Philippines.
Slide 65
Height 311 meters Type Andesitic volcano Taal is an active
volcano
Slide 66
Taal is part of a chain of volcanoes on Luzon. Smallest active
volcano in the world. Over thirty eruptions have been recorded
since the 16 th century. Its one of the of the active volcanoes in
the Philippines and part of the Pacific Ring Of Fire.
Slide 67
Taal is part of a chain of volcanoes on the island of Luzon,
which were formed by two tectonic plates colliding over 500,000
years ago.
Slide 68
33 eruptions have been recorded since 1572. The volcano had
several violent eruptions in the past causing loss of life in the
island and the populated areas surrounding the lake, with the death
toll estimated at around 5,000 to 6,000.
Slide 69
There could possibly be more eruptions in the future, but you
never know the volcano has been quiet since 1997. It shows signs of
unrest since 1991.

by the collapse of land after an eruption.
Slide 85
History-Formation Was a hot spot volcano Was eroded over
thousands of years Felt effects of lava and covered by forest
Slide 86
History-Eruptions The last eruption was 640,000 years ago The
one before was 1.2million years ago The earliest one we can record
was 2 million years ago

The Future! What the future holds about the Yellowstone caldera
is unknown Will it end the world? Based on the activity and the
increasing activity some say yes some say no But when it does it
has the power to certainly do so it is estimated it will erupt in
the next 50000 years
