Volcanoes Mountain composed of EXTRUSIVE IGNEOUS ROCKS DURING ERUPTION: GASES & LAVA –GASES & LAVA escape onto EARTH ’ S SURFACE or ATMOSPHERE -Exit through opening or vent of a volcano VOLCANO WORLD

DANGERS of ERUPTION Mudslides & Flooding GAS RELEASE: - Sulfur, Chlorine, & CO 2 Volcanic ASH BLOCKING Sun ’ s Ray (COOLING of Earth)
Mount Vesuvius Victims 79 AD
Predicting Volcanic Eruptions SATELLITES SATELLITES: HEAT -Report on increasing HEAT from magma TILT METERS: SLOPEINFLATES -Increased SLOPE as volcano INFLATES with magma INCREASES Monitor INCREASES in 1) Elevation 2) Width 3) Number of EARTHQUAKES
State the most likely affect the ASH CLOUD had on April 25, 1982
