Studying past eruptions of a volcano can allow scientists to understand how it might erupt in the future, which helps determine what areas are in danger and what threats they face. A great example would be that of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. When it started showing signs of activity in 1991, one of the first steps scientists took was to study evidence from past eruptions. They found that Pinatubo had a long history of very large violent eruptions. Nearly everyone within 15 miles of the volcano was evacuated. The eruption that followed was one of the largest ever recorded, but timely evacuations saved an estimated 20,000 lives.

What is erupted volcano called?
The second eruption is called a reawakening or re-eruption.Most volcanoes erupt multiple times over the course of their lifespan; the period during which a volcano doesn't erupt is called its dormant period or dormancy.
When are volcanoes dormant?
dormant means about the same as sleeping.Inactive for a long period of time.
When might a volcano be bubbling?
A volcano might be bubbling as a warning that the volcano will burst soon. In addition, the volcano might be bubbling after the volcano exploded lava.
What is a volcano that does not erupt called?
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
Is there an extinct volcano in tayside?
Yes, there are extinct volcanoes in the Tayside region of Scotland, such as the Dundee Law and the Sidlaw Hills. These volcanoes are part of the geological history of the area but are no longer active.
What is a volcano called that has not erupted for many years but might erupt again?
it is dormant, meaning it is just sleeping

What is a synonym for erupted?
Synonyms for erupted (came out) include ejected, expelled, effused, issued, burst, spurted, or gushed. For a volcano, the synonyms might be exploded, vented, or blasted.
This type of volcano has not erupted for a long time and may or may not erupt again?
An extinct volcano has not had an eruption for at least 10,000 years and is not expected to erupt again in a comparable time scale of the future.This is in contract to a dormant volcano, which is an active volcano that is not erupting, but supposed to erupt again. An active volcano is a volcano that has had at least one eruption during the past 10,000 years. An active volcano might be erupting or dormant.
When are volcanoes dormant?
dormant means about the same as sleeping.Inactive for a long period of time.
Why are volcanic eruptions so dangerous?
because lava can kill you and so can ash. you might also be stranded after the volcano erupted without food or water and no way of getting out of that place

What did it rain in Pompeii but it was'nt rain?
pompeii was destroyed by a volcano, so before it erupted ash started to snow down. It wasn't rain it was ash. I think it might have been hot.
Why was Pompeii completely buried by the Mount Vesuvius?
It was buried by Mount Vesuvius because of all the ash and stuff that came out of the volcano when it erupted. Might want to double check on wiki or something.
Where do volcanic rocks form?
Volcanic rocks form on or near Earth's surface from the solidification of magma (molten rock) that has erupted from a volcano. They can also form when lava cools and solidifies quickly in underwater environments, such as in ocean ridges or volcanic islands.
How has the Iceland volcano affected us?
Recently, a volcano has erupted in Iceland. It has affected us mildly, but scientists are currently predicting that the volcano that has already erupted is still active, and a volcano 50 times bigger next to it might erupt. Don't be frightened, these are just predictions! The active volcano has cut of many airlines flying into Great Britain. Thousands of tourists have been stuck camping out in airports, desperate to get home, and others are awaiting for their plane to take them to their holiday destination to arrive. Also, and I have evidence for this, when the volcano erupted, the day after that I woke up to see grey/black ash all over my car bonnet and windscreen. When the volcano erupted, all the lava leaked into the sea, so it was quite dangerous to take a ferry around that area. As Great Britain is the nearest county to Iceland, we are the most affected country. But the amount of volcanic ash is reducing, and now it is safe to go on a plane and venture round in a boat, but let's just keep our fingers crossed this next volcano won't erupt!
What is a volcano that does not erupt called?
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
