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.

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