SHARE

The study of these eruptions assists in the better understanding of geologic processes and the awesome power of nature. Volcanic activity, whether small or large, contributes to the varied pattern of volcanic activities that have shaped scientific knowledge and historical timelines. Any volcanic eruption regardless of its intensity, whether it is intense or weak increases a diverse model of volcanic events shaping science and historic chronologies. Among nature’s most fierce forces are volcanoes. Some have slept for centuries while others remain active presenting serious dangers to the people living nearby. Here are some of the planet’s most dangerous volcanoes with regard to their past eruptions as well as potential hazards.

World’s deadliest volcanoes

Mount Vesuvius, Italy: The silent threat to Naples

History: In 79 A.D., Mount Vesuvius caused an infamous eruption which covered Pompeii and Herculaneum in layers of ash leading to their destruction. The cities were preserved due to this eruption that killed numerous people.

Current Status: Vesuvius has been cited as one of the world’s most perilous volcanoes since it is located near Naples city whose population exceeds three million inhabitants. Though its last explosion was in 1944, scientists believe that it may likely erupt again soon.

Mount St. Helens, USA: The explosive power of the Pacific Northwest

History: Found in Washington State, Mount St. Helens became famous for its 1980 eruption that was among America’s worst ever recorded natural disasters. This led to a decrease in mountain height by more than 1300ft., killed 57 people and destroyed many things.

Current Status: It remains one amongst world’s most watched over volcano ever since after showing signs like small jetting-out-of-the-ground lava streams and tremors that could be an indication that there could still be future occurrence.

Mount Merapi, Indonesia: The fire mountain of Java

History: Located in Indonesia, Mount Merapi has been erupting on a regular basis for many centuries. It was responsible for the death of over 300 people and displacement of thousands in 2010.

Current Status: Merapi keeps on being active with continuous eruptions discharging lava, ash, and poisonous gases. Moreover, it is situated near Yogyakarta city which is densely populated thus posing danger to the lives of locals living around.

Mount Etna, Italy: Europe’s most active volcano

History: For hundreds of thousands years Mount Etna in Sicily has erupted continuously. Its ongoing activity has left indelible marks on the area’s geography and are reflected in local traditions and economies.

Current Status: Amongst world’s most active volcanoes is Etna, where there have been some frequent eruptions putting nearby towns and villages at risk sometimes. Constant monitoring by scientists specializing in volcanology is attributed to this state.

Mount Fuji, Japan: The sleeping giant near Tokyo

History: Mt Fuji stands as the tallest and most iconic mountain in Japan. In its last eruption (1707), ash rained on parts of Tokyo during the Edo period.

Current Status: Despite appearing so calm, Fuji still remains an active volcano. If it erupts again in future, millions could be affected owing to its proximity with Tokyo.

Kilauea, USA: Hawaii’s non-stop volcano

History: Being one of the most active volcanic centers on the planet, Kilauea is found in Hawaii’s Big Island. Since 1983, it has been erupting unceasingly, changing topography by creating new land and wiping out houses.

Current Status: Kilauea is under constant observation by United States Geological Survey (USGS). This volcano hardly ever explodes but its lava flows may threaten settlements and infrastructure.

Mount Nyiragongo, DR Congo: The quickest-moving lava

History: For its incredibly fast lava flow that has often destroyed Goma nearby. Notably among these was the year 2002 when over one hundred people died while hundreds of thousands became homeless.

Current Status: Nyiragongo is still very active with its lake of fire that usually rises and lowers. The residents of Goma have always faced a danger of another deadly eruption.

Mount Pinatubo, Philippines: The eruption that froze the world over

History: In the twentieth century, Mount Pinatubo had one of its largest eruptions in 1991. In fact it released massive amounts of ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere which reduced Earth temperatures by half a degree Celsius for short duration.

Current Status: Although Pinatubo has been dormant since 1993, it is still considered an active volcano that could erupt again thereby posing serious danger to neighboring communities.

Mount Tambora, Indonesia: The volcano that transformed Earth

History: It was also notorious as having erupted with unimaginable intensity in 1815 making Tambora’s explosion as being the strongest throughout human records. It resulted to “Year without summer” in 1816 leading to famine across continents due to crop failure caused by sunlight blockage from volcanic ash including this event.

Current Status: Today Tambora is still active though less so than previously. However scientists are worried about the possibility of another major eruption.

Yellowstone Supervolcano, USA: A sleeping giant

History: The three eruptions of Yellowstone’s supervolcano within 2.1 million years ago changed global climate each time. The most recent occurrence that brought Yellowstone Caldera was 640,000 years back.

Current Status: Although it has been dormant for thousands of years, another massive eruption is possible. Yet still Yellowstone is being closely watched for any signs of activity though scientists do not expect that to happen any time soon.
