Is a volcano called volcano only when it is erupting?

A volcano is called a volcano whether it is erupting or not.It is called an active volcano if it is erupting or has erupted recently.It is a dormant volcano if it hasn't erupted in a long time.Extinct volcanoes are not expected to ever erupt again.


Is it hot near a volcano?

It is usually around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.


Is the volcano cold when its sleeping?

Generally, yes. When a volcano is dormant the temperatures are generally no different from what you would find on a non-volcanic mountain. One exception would be the occasional hot spring or fumarole venting hot gas.


How did the eruption of mount mayon effect people and the environment?

== == == ==Living near Mount Mayon means that one is underthe government's census. This affords one accessto water, electricity, jobs, stores, and schools.Also, those living near Mayon (some 30 kilometers away)were among the 5,000 souls that got buried by 20 metresof lahar that typhoon Reming had loosened from the ravinesof Mount Mayon's previous (months, weeks ago) mini eruptions.How about upping the level?How about living at Mount Mayon itselfwhere no trappings of civilization exist?There are farmers living at a high-altitude(who farm very little for food grows wild).Water is abundant for it practically rainsall day (each time a cloud passes by,the volcano is awash with rainwater).So how does one adapt to such a hermitic life?If one is falsely accused of a crime or a criminal,the freedom of a mountain provides sanctuary.If one is a New Peoples Army cadre,the mountain's isolation is a refugefrom the shackles of an unjust society.Besides, people from developing countrieshave little choice in adapting to conditions.But to someone like me (who farms at Mount Mayon)...how do I adapt living there for a week then come downand adapt anew to the drudgery and ennui to life in the city?I am forced to adapt since I have no choice either.The city is where I must sell our organic producewhile the mountains grow uncontaminated food.

What does the root word volcano mean?

A volcano is an eruption of lava through the earth's core, which creates a mountain. A mountain so created is called a volcano even when no lava or volcanic gas is escaping from it. The word derives from the name of the Roman god Vulcan.

How can you tell an vocano is about to erupt?

Before a Volcano "erupts" the mountain and surrounding areas will experience seismic activity (Earthquakes) for hours, days, weeks and even months before the initial eruption. Also Vulcanologist monitor gas emissions from the volcano to see if there is a build up gas. And of course there many be some steam/smoke coming from the volcano (Does not have to be from the cone of the volcano, can be from vents on the side or further down the volcano!) In the case of Mt St Helens - A "DOME" appeared on the side of the mountain, this was a build up of Magma further down the mountain slope in which grew larger by the day until the initial and catastrophic eruption.


Can you go near a volcano when it does not explode?

Yes. Many volcanoes will go decades, even centuries without erupting and are relatively safe during these dormant stages. Mount Rainier, a volcano in Washington, is a popular destination for mountain climbing.


Why can volcanoes be both constructive and destructive?

The ash and lava that a volcano erupts can build up the land, which include the mountain of the volcano itself. In the case of underwater volcanoes, this process can created new islands. At the same time, the slopes of volcanoes are often unstable and prone to landslides, which are destructive. Very large eruptions can form large explosion craters and may even result in the volcano collapsing to forma depression called a caldera.

Mt. Fuji, despite being referred to as a mountain is a Volcano. It formed from lava streams and even helped in the development of the island. Although it is now inactive.
