The Book of Exodus tells of ten plagues that God inflicted on Egypt, although Lester L. Grabbe (Ancient Israel) says there is actually no period in the second half of the second millennium BCE when Egypt was subject to a series of plagues, death of children or physical disruption of the country:
- Water into blood - verses 7:14-25
- Frogs - 7:25-8:11
- Lice - 8:16-19
- Flies - 8:20-32
- Death of cattle - 9:1-7
- Boils - 9:8-11
- Hail and fire - 9:13-35
- Locusts - 10:1-20
- Darkness - 10:21-29
- Death of first born
Of these, Exodus says that Moses did not forewarn the pharaoh of the plagues of lice, boils and darkness.
The Book of Deuteronomy also talks of the "plagues of Egypt," but appears to rely on a very different tradition. In this book, verses 7:15 and 28:60 seem to indicate that the plagues were remembered as having afflicted the Israelites, not the Egyptians. Presumably in this account, Moses had no need to warn the pharaoh.

What is the timespan of the 10 plagues?
Considering the time when Moses and Aaron first meet with Pharaoh to the leaving on Passover daylight portion, some have estimated this period to be about 50 days in total. You may read about this time in Exodus 7 thru 11. When considering the plagues, the above estimate takes into account the time of announcement of each, the time it would take to cover the vast area and the one day afterwards when Moses meets with Pharaoh who claims he sinned and asked for the plague to be lifted. Each of these 10 plagues where chosen to show all that the gods of Egypt, which included Pharaoh (10th plague) where no match for the God of Creation. Stone cannot triumph over the living God.

Which pharaoh was asked to release the Hebrews?
There is no indication of his name in the Bible, but scholars call him Pharoah 128, to presume it was Ramses or anyone else is best left to those who do not answer questions on here. And incidentally, no one, Pharaoh or otherwise, drove Moses out of Egypt. Moses went to Pharaoh and demanded he let Moses and his people go (they were slaves in Egypt, not people Pharaoh would be inclined to drive away since they were his cheap labor force). When Pharaoh would not let Moses and the Israelites go, 10 plagues descended upon Egypt one at a time until finally Pharaoh let Moses and his people leave. Pharaoh quickly changed his mind and chased Moses (to either capture them all or kill them all) to the Red Sea where Moses and his people safely crossed the sea and Pharaoh's men/army were all swallowed up by the sea.
What happened when Moses and Aaron spoke to pharaoh the first time?
Pharaoh refused to allow the Israelites to stop working even temporarily, and commanded that from then on, no straw should be supplied for the bricks they had to make. They would have to gather the straw themselves (Exodus ch.5).See also:More about MosesThe Exodus

Why worship the ten plagues?
Egypt's Pharaoh, Ramses II, was very stubborn and harsh at times. God sent the ten plagues because Pharaoh would not let God's people go, the Israelites. Pharaoh wanted them to continue as slaves, and when Moses asked him to let God's people go, Ramses refused, saying I am god! ( Egyptian pharaohs at the time believed they were sons of Ra, the Egyptian sun god.) Since God was mindful of His covenant (promise, agreement) with Abraham and Sarah (He promised them many descendants, as countless as the stars, and a great land), God sent the plagues in order for Egypt's pharaoh to believe and let God's people go. God didn't prefer to do this, but it was the only way to get Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free, to the promised land.
According to Genesis pharaoh's daughter found Moses which would make Ramses Moses' grandfather yes?
Answer 1it was in exodus not genesis.. and no it would not be his grandfather Ramses was young when moses was found..Answer 2Firstly, although Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and raised him, she was not his mother. Secondly, Pharaoh is a title and the Pharaoh at the time of Moses' youth was not the same Pharaoh (presumably Ramses) when Moses came to request his people's emancipation. As Answer 1 notes, this part is in Exodus Chapter 4.
