Volcano: Features, Varieties, and Major Volcanoes

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Volcanic eruptions have played major roles in the rise and fall of civilizations throughout time. While eruptions which completely eliminate civilizations are rare and relegated to the annals of history, volcanoes are still a reality of life around the world. This book examines the features of volcanoes and their eruptions. The various types of volcanoes are discussed, as well as the types of eruptions. Finally, the Decade Volcanoes, the sixteen volcanoes considered most worthy of study, are given individual attention.
