The word was "pneumonoultramicroscopic-silicovolcaniosis", created in 1935 to be the longest English word (45 letters). It partly succeeded. The Oxford English dictionary included it but labeled it "factitious" or not a valid word.

The dust-created lung disease was already described as simply "silicosis".

How do volcanoes help shape the Earth's crust?

Volcanoes are responsible for new crust creation at the mid-ocean ridges, and submarine volcanoes are responsible for undersea mountains and volcanic island chains. Volcanoes also contribute to continental mountain range formation and large continental lava flows over time have added area to continents.

What is the difference between volcanoes in land and under sea?

Volcanoes on land tend to be more explosive and have thicker lava flows, while underwater volcanoes, known as submarine volcanoes or seamounts, are typically less explosive and produce pillow lava formations due to rapid cooling in water. Underwater volcanoes also contribute to the formation of new oceanic crust as they erupt along mid-ocean ridges.


Where do Volcaneos happen?

Volcanoes are found at the boundary areas of specific tectonic plates. These areas are in Hawaii, New Zealand, Australia, and Indonesia.


What is the difference between shield volcano and composite volcanoes?

A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain. A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano. Composite volcanoes resemble very large cinder cone volcanoes at first, but have bigger particles making them up usually and also have multiple vents more often. They also are potentially more explosive.
