A dormant volcano is a volcano that is not currently erupting, but has the potential to erupt in the future. Active Volcanoes are volcanoes that are currently erupting, or have erupted in the recent past. Extinct Volcanoes are volcanoes that are not expected to erupt again.
Volcanic eruptions can be very destructive, and can cause loss of life, property, and InfrastructureInfrastructure. Volcanic hazards include lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ash falls, and lahars. Volcanic risk is the probability of a volcanic eruption occurring, and the potential consequences of such an eruption.
Volcanic eruption prediction is the attempt to forecast when a volcanic eruption will occur. Volcanic eruption forecasting is the attempt to predict the magnitude and intensity of a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruption monitoring is the process of observing a volcano to detect signs of an impending eruption. Volcanic eruption response is the set of actions taken to protect people and property in the event of a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruption management is the overall process of planning for and responding to a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruption mitigation is the process of reducing the risk of damage from a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruption preparedness is the process of taking steps to prepare for a volcanic eruption. Volcanic eruption education is the process of teaching people about the hazards of volcanoes and how to protect themselves. Volcanic eruption research is the study of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruption history is the study of past volcanic eruptions. Volcanic eruption mythology is the study of myths and legends about volcanoes. Volcanic eruption art is the study of art that depicts volcanoes. Volcanic eruption literature is the study of literature that describes volcanoes. Volcanic eruption film is the study of films that depict volcanoes. Volcanic eruption television is the study of television programs that depict volcanoes. Volcanic eruption video game is the study of video games that depict volcanoes.
Volcanoes are a major natural hazard, but they can also be a source of economic and scientific value. Volcanic eruptions can create new land, and the minerals that are found in volcanic rocks are important resources. Volcanoes also provide a unique EnvironmentEnvironment for life, and they can be a source of scientific knowledge about the Earth’s interior.
It is important to understand the hazards of volcanoes and to take steps to protect ourselves from them. We can do this by learning about volcanoes, by being aware of the signs of an impending eruption, and by following the instructions of emergency officials.
Dormant volcano
A dormant volcano is a volcano that is not currently erupting, but has erupted in the past and is likely to erupt again in the future.
Active volcano
An active volcano is a volcano that is currently erupting or has erupted in the past few hundred years.
Extinct volcano
An extinct volcano is a volcano that has not erupted in the past few million years and is not expected to erupt again in the future.
Volcanic eruption
A volcanic eruption is an event in which molten rock, ash, and gases are expelled from a volcano.

Question 1
A volcano that has not erupted in a long time but is still considered to be a threat is called a:
(A) Dormant volcano
(B) Active volcano
(CC) Extinct volcano
Answer
(A)
A dormant volcano is a volcano that has not erupted in a long time but is still considered to be a threat. It may erupt again in the future. An active volcano is a volcano that has erupted in the past 10,000 years and is considered to be a threat to people and property. An extinct volcano is a volcano that has not erupted in the past 10,000 years and is not considered to be a threat.
Question 2
The most common type of volcanic eruption is:
(A) Explosive eruption
(B) Effusive eruption
(C) Plinian eruption
Answer
(B)
An effusive eruption is a type of volcanic eruption that is characterized by the slow, steady flow of lava. This type of eruption is the most common type of volcanic eruption. An explosive eruption is a type of volcanic eruption that is characterized by the sudden release of large amounts of gas and ash. This type of eruption is less common than an effusive eruption, but it can be much more destructive. A Plinian eruption is a type of explosive eruption that is characterized by a tall, column of ash that rises into the AtmosphereAtmosphere. This type of eruption is the most destructive type of volcanic eruption.
Question 3
The most common volcanic hazard is:
(A) Lava flow
(B) Pyroclastic flow
(C) Lahar
Answer
(A)
A lava flow is a stream of molten rock that flows down the side of a volcano. Lava flows can be very destructive, as they can travel at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour and can reach temperatures of up to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. A pyroclastic flow is a fast-moving cloud of hot ash, gas, and rock fragments that is ejected from a volcano during an eruption. Pyroclastic flows can travel at speeds of up to 600 miles per hour and can reach temperatures of up to 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. A lahar is a mudflow or debris flow that is composed of volcanic ash, water, and rock fragments. Lahars can be very destructive, as they can travel at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and can reach depths of up to 30 feet.
Question 4
The most effective way to mitigate the risk of volcanic eruption is to:
(A) Build a volcano observatory
(B) Develop a volcanic eruption early warning system
(C) Evacuate people from areas at risk of volcanic eruption
Answer
(C)
The most effective way to mitigate the risk of volcanic eruption is to evacuate people from areas at risk of volcanic eruption. This can be done by developing a volcanic eruption early warning system that will allow people to evacuate before an eruption occurs. Building a volcano observatory can help to monitor volcanic activity and provide early warning of an eruption, but it cannot prevent an eruption from occurring.
Question 5
The most famous volcanic eruption in history is:
(A) The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD
(B) The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883
(C) The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991
Answer
(A)
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD was one of the most destructive volcanic eruptions in history. The eruption killed an estimated 16,000 people and destroyed the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was also a very destructive eruption. The eruption killed an estimated 36,000 people and caused a tsunami that killed an additional 100,000 people. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 was a much smaller eruption, but it still caused significant damage. The eruption killed an estimated 847 people and caused an estimated $1 billion in damage.
