Its most recent eruption was on the 12th of June 2011 and it killed 31 people on the Ethiopian side of the border. Furthermore, the volcano had released a huge cloud of smoke that went 1000km west and it had travelled to the northern side of Africa. The eruption was very unexpected as the volcano was thought to be extinct (but obviously that wasn't true) and another fact is that this eruption is the first known historic eruption of this volcano. ]]> 2016-11-22 18:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139442756 Veronica Boyle https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139444451 Chaiten is a  Volcano which is 10 km northeast of the town Chaiten in southern Chile.
The most recent eruption was in 2008. The effects of this eruptive phase caused forests near it to burn down. Large parts of southern Argentina and Chile were coated in ash and on May 12 lahars caused floods in the town of Chaiten. It deposited ash mud to a depth of 1 meter or more, this damaged many buildings which completely filled the course of Chaiten river which flows through the town.
Three facts about this active volcano are:
-  Chaiten is in the south of Chile and Chile is at the edge of the south american tectonic plate.
-  Chaiten is a caldera volcano.
-  Chaitén is 3 kilometers in diameter and 17 kilometers west of the elongated ice-capped Michinmahuida volcano.
The Chaiten volcano seen from a commercial flight in the 2008 phase of eruptions.

Its most recent eruption was during 11-21 June 2009.  High concentrations of sulfur dioxide stretched westward from the volcano as far as Sakhalin Island and mainland Russia and eastward as far as Alaska.
 Since this eruption there have been intermittent thermal anomalies detected and one ash plume. Gas emissions were frequently after the eruption possibly with some ash. 
The eruption lasted 9 days and stands among the largest of recent historical eruptions in the Kurile Island chain. 
The eruption is still diverting aircraft to some cities like San Francisco.
This volcano is a Stratovolcano.

It last erupted on 30th April 2015, when it erupted without warning on the 22nd and sent up a massive column of smoke and ash into the atmosphere. On the 23rd and the 30th small explosions occurred. The largest eruption was in 1894, when debris and hot lahars extended as far as 8 km. 2500 people were evacuated, but non were hurt. Calbuco is a very explosive volcano in the Andes, and it's crater is 400-500 m wide. It's lava also contains 55-60% silicon dioxide.]]> 2016-11-22 20:01:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139463526 Bea Lynch https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139534413 My volcano is called Eyjafjallajoekull and it is in Iceland, Europe. the volcano erupted on the 20th of March, 2010 and it had some very damaging effects. The volcano had been dormant for 200 years and when it erupted and as a result of the eruption it ripped a 1 km fissure of ice. The volcano sent lava up hundreds of meters high and as a result the airport in Iceland was closed flights were diverted and roads were closed. The eruption occurred 120 km from the capital,  Reykjavik. People were evacuated and ash and smoke started to form. This natural disaster lasted for about two months. 
there were lots of damaging effects that occurred as a result of the eruption. For example the lava melted the ice and caused southern parts of Iceland to flood. Wind carried ash to countries as far as Norway as well as being blown by the wind to Faroe Island and Northern Scotland. As a result of this many planes were cancelled leaving people stranded. This meant that people on holiday could not go back to the country they lived in and families who were there for the holiday could not get back in time for the start of school. This is because the small particles of ash can clog up the aeroplanes engines.
On Sunday 18th of April an estimated 750 tonnes of magma  per second  was ejected from the volcano according to the university of Iceland.
In early may volcanic activity began to increase again, with more ash entering the plume. The plume (which is a mixture of gas and particles during and eruption) reached heights between 4-6 km and 6-8 km and by the 23rd of May little amounts of ash were being ejected from the volcano.


Three facts:
-Before erupting in 2010 it last erupted in 1821.
-The ash caused by the 1821 volcanic eruption can still be found in some parts of Iceland.
-It was the highest level of air disruption since World War Two.]]> 2016-11-23 09:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139534413 Marta Roger https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/139618615 My volcano is called Puyehue-Cordón Caulle, and it is a stratovolcano in central Chile.  It is a fissure complex which consists of Puyehue volcano and Cordón Caulle. 

It last erupted on Saturday 14th June 2011 (although some sources say 2011-2012) after 51 years of inactivity. Many earthquakes qere reported before, during and after the eruption, some reaching a magnitude of 4.0.

It is known for large explosions in its history. There have been around 30 explosions since 1000 AD. In 2007, an effusive explosion filled the crater with a lava dome. It last erupted on February 13, 2014, destroying the lava dome and ejecting boulders, stones and ashes up to West Java about 500 kilometers from Mount Kelud. The crater is with water in rainy season.

Nyiragongo is an active volcano located in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It most recently erupted in 2002. Many homes were destroyed by ash and lava and 45 people died in the first 24 hours. The lava filled the roads, making it difficult to travel around Goma. This meant that aid agencies were unable to access certain areas. On top of this, cholera broke out due to lack of sanitation. There have been 18 eruptions since 1884. The volcano has a 1.2 km diameter

The volcano has produced frequent explosive eruptions and lava flows. the latest Eruption was in 2012 . A column of ash reached a height of 2.5 km. The volcano is densely covered by forests and rises above the remote jungles of the western Amazon basin. The volcano has a 4-km-wide caldera that is widely breached to the east, which formed by collapse of the volcanic edifice. During historical times, Reventador has produced numerous lava flows and explosive eruptions that could even be seen from Quito. Rainfalls frequently produce mud-flows (lahars) that have accumulated a large debris plain on the eastern floor of the caldera.

It last erupted 27th September 2014 killing 57 people. The unexpected eruption was caused by 'steam explosion'. People and buildings were covered in ash causing major casualties. Scientists don't know if it will erupt again and when but it is currently an active volcano.
Facts:
  • Mt. Ontake has an elevation of about 10,062 (3,063m)
  • Mt. Ontake is a stratovolcano

Is an active volcano located in   KamchatkaKrai, Russia. The most recent eruption was the 14 September 2011, but it had one the 27th February 2015, but only with ash, even tough that provoked flight cancellations because of the poor visibility by reason of the ash and . It has an elevation of about 2800m. It began forming about 60,000 to 70,000 years ago and today is one of the largest active volcanoes in Kamchatka, with 150. Today the people that live near it has to be aware, beacuase they never know when it´s going to erupt again]]> 2016-11-27 17:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/140035829 Maja Bartosz Jefferies https://padlet.com/lisa_newbould/Y9volcanoes/wish/140044621 My volcano is called the Santa Ana volcano (also known as llamatepec). The Santa Ana volcano is a large strato volcano located in the Santa Ana department of El salvador. At 2,381 metres above sea level, it is the highest volcano in the country. The Santa Ana 45 km west of San Salvador city. It is one of the most active volcanoes in El salvador with its last erruption being in 2008. The volcanoes erruption was an explosive erruption. Besides ash, lava, rocks , and a boiling flood of muddy water, Santa Ana’s eruption produced also produced sulphur dioxide.

It is an active stratovolcano in Indonesia. It last erupted March 10th 2014. Smoke can often be seen emerging from the mountain top, and this smoke can often cause fatalities. During an eruption in 1994, pyroclastic flow killed 27 people after a violent explosion. Because of the harm this volcano has caused, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes (16 volcanoes that scientists have declared worth studying due to their history of large, violent and disruptive explosions.
