Understanding Volcanoes and Their Impact

Volcanoes are openings in the earth's crust that allow lava, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. They are commonly found at the boundaries of tectonic plates and provide nutrients to soil when they erupt, but can also threaten lives and destroy property with lava flows, ash, and dangerous mudslides called lahars. While volcanic eruptions can negatively impact humans through destruction and loss of life, they also provide benefits like fertile land and geothermal energy resources.

What is a Volcano?

• A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust through which lava,


volcanic ash, and gases escape.

• On Earth, volcanoes are most often found where tectonic plates


are diverging or converging, and most are found underwater.

• Volcanoes are pressure valves that release energy from deep


within the Earth.

• Beautiful and powerful, awe-inspiring and deadly, they are


spectacular reminders of the dynamic forces that shape our
planet.

• Volcano – a fissure or vent through which molten rock material,


or magma, and gases from the interior of the earth erupt on to
it’s surface, and the landform which is produced as a result of
this eruption.
