    Volcanoes exist all around the world. A volcano is where ash, gases, and molten rock from 30-120 feet underground erupts onto the surface. The ash, gases, and molten rock all stay in something inside a volcano called a magma chamber. The larger the eruption the more gas the magma has. The gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. The two types of lava are aa (ah-ah) and pahoehoe. The types of volcanoes are shield, strato, silicic caldera complexes, monogenetic fields, mid-ocean

    Volcanoes When asked the questions of how volcanoes look and work, we give an answer based off of our general knowledge. Yet some research into the functions of volcanoes and different types there are prove they are much more than just lava flowing geological cones. I will be going into focus about the different types of volcanoes and how to tell the differences between active, inactive, and dormant volcanoes. My focus of approach is merely into the research of volcanoes from past to present. First

    Pros of Funding The Monitoring of Volcanoes and Earthquakes Monitoring volcanoes have a lot of pros and cons, One pro of monitoring volcanoes is being able to predict whether or not it will erupt, or if so when it will erupt. One way they can tell when it will erupt is when the magma chamber fills with magma. Also the magma begins to release toxic gases, such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfate, hydrochloric acid, and carbon monoxide. The magma also starts to release water vapor

Volcanoes can have beneficial effects to the the soil, environment, and even people. When volcanoes erupt, they can release minerals that can make soil very fertile. The minerals are not immediately available to plants, due to the fact that the ash and rock have to slowly weather down over thousands of years to
