Volcanic eruptions are almost as difficult to predict as earthquakes. Any "prediction" would be little better than throwing darts at the calendar.
Nyiragongo is associated with a formation called the East African Rift, a region in which Africa is being pulled apart by geologic forces. As the African plate is pulled apart, the crust becomes thin. The decreases pressure on the extremely hot rocks of the upper mantle, allowing them to melt. This molten rock, called magma, then rises up through the crust to form volcanoes such as Nyiragongo.
No. Like all the volcanoes in Hawaii it is a shield volcano.
i think the biggest one is mt vesuvius mt Hawaii or mt ruapehu i think so NO! the last big volcano eruption was Mt Pinatubo. The last massive eruption was Mt Tambora in 1815, and the last super eruption was Lake Toba 73,000 years ago. Toba wiped 60% of the human race. Mt Vesuvias was tiny compared to Tabora and also Krakatoa.
1820. 1820 is the last recoded erruption, not the first. Rock layers of the volcano are 500,000 years old, therefore one may conclude that the first eruption would have been approximately 500,000 years ago. Mt Rainier is predicted to erupt again, has hot springs and local authorties have emegency plans prepared in the event of a new eruption.

Mount Nyiragongo in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has an elevation of approximately 3,470 meters (11,380 feet) above sea level.
No. Like all the volcanoes in Hawaii it is a shield volcano.
The last eruption of mt Vesuvius was in 1944,18 of March.
It is virtually impossible to predict an eruption.
yes

The eruption that Mt St Helen has is an exploding volcano that shoots lava and rocks into the air.
It had an eruption like explosive diarrhea.
About 2 cubic km of material was erupted. About the size of the Mt St Helens eruption in 1980.
the big other wise known as huge eruption of mt Vesuvius was in the 1850s the early 1850s
