It was Eurasian and the African platwes for sure
There may be several. But the most well known Etna is a Volcano on Sicily, an island off the coast of Italy.
* ---- My geog teacher says its gonna cause massive effect on the world and could send us into a black out or something. :S im not sure. Maybe its Mt Etna, maybe not, im not sure.. it erupts every 10-20 minutes it Europe's most active volcano so not we're not going to die don't worry!
I visited mount Etna in 2008 and was mystified to find so many ladybirds at the top of the mountain clustered into the old cold lava. Can anyone tell me why they are there, and are they getting any mineral from the lava? Brenda Young.
It depends on what type of volcano they are; Active - very likely to erupt e.g Mt Etna Dormant(sleeping) - a volcano which has not erupted for many years. For example, Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991 after 500years of dormany Extinct - a volcano in which has not erupted for many thousand or millions of years
Volcanic activity is classified by how often a volcano erupts. A volcano may be active, intermittent, dormant, or extinct.Active volcanoes erupt constantly.Intermittent volcanoes erupt fairly regularly.Dormant volcanoes are inactive, but not long enough to determine whether they will erupt again or not.Extinct volcanoes have been inactive since the beginning of recorded history.

Mout St.Helen erupted on May 18, 1980, at 8:32am PDT and last on July 10, 2008.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes can erupt blocky lava flows, basaltic lava flows, or may erupt explosively.

it was on the 7th of may 2007 :)
No, Mount St. Helens last erupted in 2008. The most notable eruption of Mount St. Helens occurred on May 18, 1980, resulting in significant devastation to the surrounding area.
Active volcanoes erupt. Dormant volcanoes are quiet - but may erupt again some day. Extinct volcanoes have "closed up shop" for good, and will never erupt again.

No, Extinct = Not likely explode again Dormant = hasnt't erupted for hundreds or thousands of years but may still erupt Active = Recently erupted, and is likely to erupt
The explosive eruption on Mt. Etna took place on May 23, 1992. In all, Etna was actually erupting and venting gas for almost two years before it calmed again.
