What area are you focusing on? Me and Marko are studying about the Iceland volcano that is called Eyjafjallajokall. It erupted in april 15 2010 Why is the area at risk by Earthmovments?

It is placed on the Eurasian and mid-ocean ridge so it gets a lot of volcano eruptions and earthquakes. History Eyjafjallajokall has 1,666 meters and 5,466 feet. Most eruptions came in 1821 to 1823 and again in 2010. It covers about 100 square kilometers. It erupted 3 times in 2010. Iceland has more than 200 volcanoes. Iceland is one of the most active regains. 1/3 of the lava flow of earth, over last 500 years. The plates move about 1 inch a year. 70 million years ago lava cooled and made Iceland. The volcano eruptions were recorded in 874 128 eruptions since then. Effect All the flights were canceled and people were stuck at the airport. 800 people were evacuated. the water fluded. What pose risks to people of Iceland Airplanes can’t fly because of the ash cloud from Iceland. A death is provided by ash because ash makes coughing and it could kill you. Evacuating because if the lava comes close to your house it is dangerous. Lava is also dangerous because its so hot that you cant stand lava even one second. Volcanos cause devastation because of ash and lava. People stuck in airports because ash can get into airplane engines and interfear It and boom.

Volcano safety Stay away from active volcanos. If you live near an active volcano keep goggles and a mask in an a emergency kit along with a flashlight and a working battery and a operated radio. Know your evacuation route. Keep gas in your car. Always put on a mask
