How many major volcanic erutions occur each year?
About 50 to 70 eruptions happen each year around the world. Some are are big eruptions while some of them are small.
How many people die due to volcanic eruptions in an average year?
Volcanoes are unpredictable and the amount of volcanic activity each year will vary but some estimates suggest that approximately 700 to 850 people lose their lives each year due to volcanic activity.
Name areas prone to volcanic eruptions?
The Circum-Pacific Belt, or also known as the Pacific Ring of Fire, accounts for about 80% of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that occur in a year, and is home to about 68% of Earth's volcanoes.
Why do volcanic eruptions happen mostly in Hawaii japan and Yellowstone?
They don't. Earth averages about 50 volcanic eruptions on land each year in many locations around the world. Yellowstone has not experienced a volcanic eruption in thousands of years. This activity is attributed to a n area of especially hot mantle called a hot spot melting rock beneath the crust. Hawaii is notable for the presence of Kilauea, which has had a single eruption ongoing since 1983 and so attracts a great deal of attention. This activity is dues to a hot spot. Japan sees a fair amount of volcanic activity due to the convergence of several of earth's tectonic plates. Hawaii, Japan, and Mount Etna in Sicily are probably the most volcanically active sites in developed nations. Other volcanic zones with high activity include the Andean volcanic belt in western South America, Indonesia, the Aleutian Arc in Alaska, and the East African Rift.
Type of vesuvius eruptions?
Vesuvius has had two main types of eruptions throughout its history: explosive and effusive. Explosive eruptions are characterized by the violent release of gases, magma, and volcanic ash, resulting in significant destruction and potential pyroclastic flows. Effusive eruptions, on the other hand, involve the relatively gentle outpouring of lava onto the surface, which can create lava flows and slowly build up the volcano over time.
How many volcanic eruptions happen a year on the Eurasia plate?
22
What formed islands of Hawaii millions of year ago?
Volcanic Eruptions.
How many times a year does a volcano erupt?
Worldwide there are about 50 volcanic eruptions each year.
Is there any volcanic eruptions that have happened more times a year than normal?
There really isn't a "normal" when it comes to volcanic eruptions. Kilauea in Hawai'i has been erupting continuously since 1983
How common are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions?
Roughly fifty times per year. (Information from Yahoo)

Does a volcano erupt when the inner core is super heated?
No. The inner core does not directly affect volcanic activity. Earth experiences an estimate 50 eruptions every year from volcanoes on land and even more from volcanoes under the sea. So there is almost always some volcanic activity going on. A number of circumstances are believed to be capable of triggering volcanic eruptions, most of which involve events in the general vicinity of the volcano in question. One likely cause of some eruptions is a fresh injection of magma into the magma chamber from the upper mantle.
What conditions would be necessary for an earthquake or volcanic eruptions to occur outside these zone?
it can happen any weather at any time during the year.
What year did the Hawaii Volcano take place?
A volcano is a landform, not an event. There have been many volcanic eruptions of several volcanoes in Hawaii in recorded history.
What state are 10000 year old rocks?
Most rocks are much older than 10,000 years. Volcanic activity is the only real source of rocks that young, so you would have to turn to states that have had volcanic eruptions in the past 10,000 years. Those would include: Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, California, and Arizona.
Does Livingston Montana have earquakes tornadoes or volcanic eruptions?
There are no volcanoes in or near Livingston, Montana and there have been no major earthquakes in the Livingston area since record began. Tornadoes are fairly rare in Montana, which gets only about 7 each year. Most are weak.
