What does it mean if volcano is active?
you can get active, dormant (or sleeping) and inactive volcanoes. an active volcano is one that is very likely to erupt in the future and still has magma in it. a dormant (or sleeping) volcano is one that has not erupted for the past thousand-or-so years, but can still erupt an inactive volcano is highly unlikely to ever erupt again. every volcano will eventually become inactive. at one time, there were volcano in the UK, but they have all died out now (or become inactive) !!
Why not to live next to a volcano?
Most volcanoes erupt infrequently and create fertile soils that are ideal for farming. Many volcanoes, such as Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount St Helen's prior to its 1980 eruption, are known for their beauty.
What kind of volcano is volcano thera?
Currently Thera is a caldera with a shield in it. Prior to its cataclysmic eruption it was a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano.
What must first be removed prior to removing an M139 Volcano from a host vehicle?
Mine Canisters
How did the Haleakala crater form?
It is a volcano that last erupted according to most historical accounts +/-1790. Some scientific information indicates that the next prior eruption, perhaps in the late 1400s to late 1500s, was the one that really blew the top off the mountain, that it was around 15,000 feet and is now around 10,000 feet, but since then erosion has been the primary cause of the crater's current configuration.

What is the worlds active volcano?
The world's smallest volcano is the Taal Volcano in the Philippines.The description of this volcano is "a crater within an island within a lake". This is because is it an island in Taal Lake.The volcano is a 406-meter high crater. At one time, it was larger but collapsed and then the lake formed around what was left of the volcano.Tagaytay City overlooks the lake and it is believed that it may be part of the crater of the volcano prior to its collapse.This volcano may also be one of the most active volcanoes around today since it has erupted over 20 times since 1572.

What may be indicated by bulge in the side of a volcano?
Magma is rising towards the surface prior to an eruption.
What was Jesus's occupation?
Prior to beginning his ministry, Jesus was a Carpenter.
What are 2 ways that you can tell a volcano is about to erupt?
Each volcano is its own entity but broadly they can offer a range of symptoms of imminent eruption;Ground deformation - the swelling magma chamber creates a bulge in the volcano - made famous by the Mt St Helens eruption where a parasitic vent on the flank made the volcano side get progressively steeper until the land mass slumped. Laser leveling allows this type of change to be continuously monitored such as around Mt EtnaLocal seismic activity - caused by magma filling the magma chamber inside the volcano, the molten rock moving underground triggers tell tale tiny earthquakes - Mt Pinatubo 1991 was initially surveyed by this technique by the USGSGaseous emissions - typically just prior to an eruption the key indicator is an increase in then decrease in Sulphur emissions - usually analysed by aerial spectrometry - see the Pinatubo case study.
What experiences did Winfield Scott have prior to the beginning of the civil war?
depression
Why is there no snow on haleakala?
That is not true. It can snow there, but it is nominal and usually melts off quickly. I was there in Dec '09 and in talking to people who live upcountry on the slopes of the volcano it snowed very lightly the prior winter -- around February of '09.
