That is because of the poisonous gas that can spread very far.

How can a volcano eruption affect you if you live 1000 miles from the volcano?

A large volcanic eruption can send gases and clouds of particulates very high in the atmosphere, where they can be carried great distances by the wind, even in some cases for 1000 miles.


What was the loudest volcanic eruption ever?

The loudest volcanic eruption in recorded history was the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia. The explosion was so powerful that it was heard up to 3,000 miles away and led to the destruction of the island.


How big is the Caldera volcano that sits under Yellowstone National Park?

Nobody is sure, it last erupted 700 000 years ago. Its eruption could produce enough ash to layer the atmosphere with 5 feet of ash, and will knockout everything and body within 1000 mile radius so when it erupts places such as Denver and Cheyenne are at risk.


Did the world's loudest volcano blow up an island called Krakatoa?

Not exactly. The explosions generate by the eruption of Krakatoa were enormous, but the island itself was not blown up. The eruption ejected so much magma, that the island of Krakatoa collapsed into the space left behind.


Is it true that there is a volcano in England and were to is the volcano?

there is an xtinct volcano in the UK Edinburgh in Scotland is built on the core of an xtinct volcano it may still be live and maybe one day will cause a volcanic eruption but that may not happen till 3010 for now as the weather is to cold in the united kingdom we have nothing to worry about but as the climate get higher over years an years soon there will be a volcanic eruption in the united kingdom but not anytime soon as i said 3010 at least another century (this is due to global warming)xx Alisha Taylor xx

Where is volcanic ash found?

Volcanic ash can be found above the crater, around the volcano and even miles and miles away from the volcano, depending on the size of eruption. It will rise up into the sky and then either remain in the sky (for very fine ash particles) and be carried by high-altitude winds around for a certain period of time or fall to the ground almost immediately after the eruption.


How long does it take for a regular volcano to erupt?

150 miles the regular volcano is eruption


Why do people consider volcanic eruption as a disastrous event?

Because the ash, rock and lava devastate the area surrounding the volcano - and dust & ash can be carried for thousands of miles in the atmosphere.


Does a volcano affect you even if you are very far from it?

It depends on the type and size of the eruption. Most volcanic eruptions do not cause more than localized disruptions. Extremely large eruptions can cause ash to fall thousands of miles away and change weather patterns worldwide.


What is a volcanic discharge?

A volcano erupts because there is mass pressure under it. In a volcano there is hot, melted rock called lava. The hot lava produces gasses that build up underground until there is too much for the rock to contain, that makes the eruption. When there is too much, it bursts the volcano. There are two types of eruptions. Non explosive and explosive. When they are explosive, it is caused by clouds of hot debris and gases.

How can a volcano affect you if you live 1000 miles away from the volcano?

The volcanic activity can alter the weather patterns. Large explosive eruptions can coat areas over 1,000 miles away in a layer of fine ash. Ash at high altitudes can pose a risk to planes in flight.
