Volcanic

Different kinds of volcanoes are examined in detail here in the Earth Gallery.


Another kind of destructive power: earthquakes. A map shows different quakes across the world, in different scales, in a time frame you choose.

    As a child, I was so fascinated by volcanos. Now they scare me.

    I remember learning a lot of that at school and I also enjoy trying out my schoolboy French while reading those information boards.

    Scary, but it shows that earth is alive. Glad we have no such "outlet" near by.

    I have seen many active volcanoes, especially in the Andes, and I don't want to be anywhere near one when it erupts!,

    I have once been on the Vesuvius in Italy, was a bit scary as there were still some red hot stones lying around.

    @Linda: understandable.

    @John: I do some of that too.

    @Iris: we don't either, though we have had quakes here.

    @Ella: and yet in a strange way they give back to the world.

    @David: I wouldn't either!

    @Marianne: I'd like to see that one.

    I've walked on volcanic rock at beaches and have imagined what it was like when that volcanic rock erupted from the ground.

    Some of the photos of erupting volcanoes are quite frightening. Such power!
    I hope you are keeping safe, and also keeping yourself amused.

    Earth is a fascinating place.
    Post geology course at UVM, a relative living outside Seattle sent a photo. I gasped seeing an alto volcano in the distance. Ok, I freaked out a little. lol

    Great exhibit and what a wonderful museum ~ are you able to visit it now? or do you have what USA calls 'social distancing and everything is closed and groups cancelled ????

    Keep calm and be well,

    Wouldn't want to get too close to a volcano, I can enjoy a faraway view. :)
