Do dogs live near a volcano?

Answer 1

Because animals are more in tune with nature than humans, there are MANY types of animals that live by or near volcanoes (until they erupt, that is).

You yourself may have noticed that birds of various types will go silent before a big storm, or you may have read about the elephants in Indonesia that took tourists to higher ground just before a (humanly undetectable) tsunami.

Before eruptions, tremors in the earth often occur. Animals can feel it and take notice of this danger. Also, volcanoes will spew steam and smoke before they actually erupt with lava and/or ash.

Volcanic soil is very fertile and is ideal for plant growth. This attracts herbivores and then their predators. The magnitude of the eruption may not be enough to kill wild life instantly, and ash won't kill organisms in a matter of seconds.

So the animals can escape if they haven't fled already.

There are very few eruptions as destructive as the Mt. Saint Helen's eruption. Therefore, animals can live freely next to or near volcanoes, even on the summit.

Answer 2

Some of them include:

• Mexican prairie dog (Cynomys mexicanus)
• Volcano rabbit (Romerolagus diazi)
• Lerma catfish (Ictalurus dugesii)
• Tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum)
• Mexican spotted terrapin (Rhinoclemmys rubida)
• Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)

Answer 3

Al kinds. Usually, volcanic soil is one of the most fertile in the world. Some examples of animals found near volcanoes in Mexico would be as follows:

• Conejo de los volcanes/Volcano rabbit (Romerolagus diazi)
• Mariposa llamadora/Esperanza butterfly (Papilio esperanza)
• Mojarra huasteca/Huastec crappie (Cichlasoma labridens)
• Bagre del Lerma/Lerma catfish (Ictalurus dugesii)
• Ajolote tigre/Tiger salamander (Ambystoma tigrinum)
• Rana de Patzcuaro/Patzcuaro frog (Rana dunni)
• Halcon peregrino/Peregrine falcon (Falco peregrinus)
• Serpiente de cascabel/Rattlesnake (Crotalus cerastes)
• Puma/Cougar (Puma concolor)
• Oso negro/Black bear (Ursus americanus)

Answer 4

Many people are interested in ways to classify volcanoes. There is probably a natural human instinct to try and give labels to all things. This is not a bad instinct and many times it makes it easier to understand the particular thing that is being classified. For example, you start to identify patterns when you classify things and these patterns may lead to a better understanding of whatever it is you are classifying. However (and that is a big "however"), when you are classifying natural things (they might be fish, plants, birds, oceans, minerals, volcanoes, or whatever), you MUST remember that the classification scheme is made up by human beings and Nature might decide to not follow the rules exactly. There will ALWAYS be exceptions to your classification scheme and there will ALWAYS be things that fall into more than one category. As long as you realize this and it doesn't bother you, you'll be just fine. Certainly there are different ways to classify volcanoes and all of them have particular benefits and drawbacks. These include classifying by lava chemistry, tectonic setting, size, eruptive character, geographic location, present activity, and morphology. As an example of how these can get mixed together, note that there are basaltic strato volcanoes (i.e. Mt. Fuji), big basaltic calderas (i.e. Taal), big gradual-sloped basaltic shields (i.e. Mauna Loa) and big steep-sloped basaltic shields (i.e. Fernandina). Additionally, although most volcanoes associated with subduction zones are steep-sided andesite or dacite cones, there are a few basaltic shields along these zones as well (i.e. Masaya, Westdahl, Tolbachik). These examples highlight the above-mentioned hurdle that any student of the Earth needs to get over - Nature makes exceptions to human rules.

Answer 5

Goats would live near volcanoes because the people that live near volcanoes look after goats !

Answer 6

of course they do. its a house where else are they guna live? on the streets?

Answer 7

Most dogs are pets, so they'll live wherever there are humans. And some humans live near volcanoes, so there are dogs near volcanoes too.

Answer 8

You can, but only if it is dormant.

Answer 9

really?

Answer 10

what animals that live near volcanoes that are in danger
