Approximately 200 volcanoes erupted in 2007. Not all these eruptions were huge and some were ongoing eruptions that have been going on for years.
With some exceptions, volcanoes are generally not dangerous to people. Your chance of being killed by a volcano is 1 in 80000 over your lifetime, which is far less than your chance of being killed in say a motor vehicle accident (1 in 67). There are also two classifications for inactive volcano's. Volcanoes which have not erupted for a significant amount of time are known as dormant volcanoes. Volcanoes which have not erupted in human history are known as extinct volcanoes. Extinct volcanoes are never expected to erupt again, and are therefore not dangerous unless they have been misclassified. So no, I do not think that all volcanoes whether active or inactive are dangerous. The only dangerous volcanoes are dormant volcanoes that explode suddenly with little or no warning.
Krakatau has erupted many times.... it's biggest and most important was in 1883
Cebu is a free volcanoe island but it is lying not far from the steep volcanoes underwater along bohol - camiguin straight and cebu leyte straight. One underwater volcanoe that erupted in 1952 is named didicas volcanoe. We do not fear of volcanoes but we fear tsunamis to happen when one of these steep volcanoes would erupt.
So far, only once.
No the desert is too dry and way to far out to have a volcano.
well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
Not any more. There used to be (about 1 billion years ago) but not now.
There are millions of volcanoes around the world, far too many to list here. In truth, scientists don't really know how many volcanoes exist today as many are located in the oceans.
A volcano that has been inactive for a long time may pose a greater risk. Volcanoes that erupt frequently tend to produce small eruptions. Volcanoes that are inactive for long periods are more likely to produce large eruptions with far-reaching impacts.
•Volcanoes are found in three different states-•Active which means: Erupted recently and expected to erupt again.•Dormant which is: A volcano which has not erupted in recorded history.•Extinct this means: A volcano which is never going to erupt again.
Shield volcanoes may occur far from any plate boundaries.
