A volcano is an opening or rupture in the Earth’s surface from which eruptions of hot and dangerous lava, rocks, ashes, and gases occur. They are most commonly seen where tectonic plates collide or divide, but some occur in the interior of plates at areas called “hotspots.” Today we will talk about volcanic eruptions and some must-see volcanoes around the world.

Some eruptions are impressive, but not totally destructive. It has thin, runny lava that allows gases to escape easily and flows slowly enough to allow humans to evacuate. The most deadly eruptions, on the other hand, are those with thick and sticky lava, where gases cannot easily escape, causing pressure to build until it explodes violently.
Indonesia’s Mt.Tambora eruption in 1815 was one of the worst in history. Historians believe it had the greatest direct impact. It created tsunamis, catastrophic climate change, and agricultural losses resulting in famine and disease, killing an estimated 100,000 people.
The molten lava rivers, crushing mudflows, suffocating ash, and toxic gases devastate the economy. This affects not only the surrounding areas but also the rest of the world. The gases and dust particles spewed into the atmosphere cause global cooling from months to years and pose a significant threat to airplane traffic.
