what is the name of the volcano in St.Vincent?
439905
Soufriere on St. Vincent is a dangerous volcano. It is a stratovolcano with a crater lake. Violent eruption occurred in 1718, 1812, and 1902. The 1902 eruption killed 1,600 people. There were also eruptions in 1971-1972 and 1979. The 1979 eruption started with less than 24 hours of precursor activity.\nSee in\nhttp://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/north_america/soufriere_vin.html\nAnother site you can go to see pictures from the volcano is in\nhttp://www.uwiseismic.com/Islandprof/St.Vincent/ip_stv_photo.html

A volcano is a geological landform usually generated by the eruption through a planet's surface of magma, molten rock welling up from the planet's interior. Other forms of volcano include ice volcanoes (particularly on some moons of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune) and mud volcanoes. On Earth, volcanoes tend to occur near the boundaries of crustal plates. There are Diff types of volcanoes:\n1)Extinct--lowest possible chance of erupting.Whether a volcano is truly extinct is often difficult to determine. Since "supervolcano" calderas can have eruptive lifespans sometimes measured in millions of years, a caldera that has not produced an eruption in tens of thousands of years is likely to be considered dormant instead of extinct.\n\n2)Dormant --those that are not currently active but could become restless or erupt again. Confusion however, can arise because many volcanoes which scientists consider to be active are referred to as dormant by laypersons or in the media.\n3)Active--it is currently erupting or showing signs of unrest, such as unusual earthquake activity or significant new gas emissions. Many scientists also consider a volcano active if it has erupted in historic time.\n  \nIt is important to note that the span of recorded history differs from region to region; in the Mediterranean, recorded history reaches back more than 3,000 years but in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, it reaches back less than 300 years, and in Hawaii, little more than 200 years. The Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program's definition of 'active' is having erupted within the last 10,000 years.So A volcano may occur anytime as earthquakes do.

Mt. St. Helens is a subduction volcano.\n\nVolcanism in subduction is caused by volitals, like H2O, CO2. These are carried down by the oceanic plate, mainly in the form of weak minerals. These minerals break down with pressure and temperature into stronger minerals that don't contain water and carbon dioxide. The leftover gases and liquids travel into the mantle (the mantle wedge) and hydrate the mantle, causing melting. The melt rises and then... volcano!

All fragments thrown into the air by a volcanic eruption are called pyroclastics. During a more violent eruption, the force of the blast sends superhot gas and millions of pieces of lava into the air. These particles are classified as bombs, cinders, or ash, depending on their size and shape. Small pieces of lava, which solidify almost immediately, form slivers of volcanic glass.\nTogether with rocks blown from the sides of a volcano, the entire collection of ejected material becomes a hot, fast-moving cloud of rock and ash. These flows can travel at great speed down the flanks of a volcano and into surrounding areas, causing extensive destruction. In 1902 the eruption of Mount Pelée, on the island of Martinique, created this type of pyroclastic blast and destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre, killing about 30,000 people.\n\nLike lava, pyroclastic material raining down on a volcano eventually compacts into solid layers that build up the volcano’s bulk. Some eruptions actually reduce the height of a volcano, because they are so powerful that they literally blow the top of the volcano off. In 1883 the cataclysmic explosion of Krakatau in Indonesia destroyed most of the island, which had been formed by the volcano.\n\n\nKrakatau 1883\nDestroyed entire island\nPumice Rafts (lava with lots of vesicles) trapped sailors for three days\nCaused Tsunami\nHeard as far as Australia

A subglacial volcano is a volcanic form produced by eruptions beneath a glacier or beneath the surface of a lake within a glacier. Today they are most common in Iceland and Antarctica; older formations of this type are found also in parts of Canada. Their shape tends to be characteristic and unusual, with flat top and steep sides. If the heat produced by the volcano is high enough to melt through the ice layer, however, the volcano assumes a more conventional shape.

It's a pretty impressive stratovolcano also called Fuji-san. It towers almost 11,500 feet above the surrounding area. The most recent eruption was in 1707 on the southeast side of the cone. That eruption blew out about 0.8 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash. By comparison Mt.St.Helens in 1980 ejected 1.25 cubic km of ash. There have been 16 eruptions recorded since 781 AD. \n\nIt appears from looking at the Global Volcanism Program that there has been no earthquake activity in the volcano since 2001. It seems quiet, but is a young volcano still. \n\nHere is a great collection of Mt Fuji photos:\nhttp://live-fuji.jp/fuji/beste.htm\nHere is a live web cam link of Mt Fuji:\nhttp://live-fuji.jp/fuji/livee.htm

A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where a substance, usually magma (rock of the Earth's interior made molten or liquid by extremely high temperatures along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of a planet. Although there are numerous volcanoes (some very active) on the solar system's rocky planets and moons, on Earth at least, this phenomenon tends to occur near the boundaries of the continental plates. However, important exceptions exist in hotspot volcanoes.\n\n \nSmoking Bromo and Semeru volcanoes on Java in Indonesia.The name "volcano" originates from the name of Vulcan, a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called vulcanology (or volcanology in some spellings).\n\nMud volcanoes are formations which are often not associated with known magmatic activity. Active mud volcanoes tend to involve temperatures much lower than those of igneous volcanoes, except when a mud volcano is actually a vent of an igneous volcano.

Volcanology is a branch of geology, the study of the earth. Volcanology emphasizes studies of the processes, products, hazards, and environmental impacts of volcanic eruptions. Volcanologists are geologists who specialize in studies of "young" volcanism. They focus on eruptions within the past 10,000 years, especially on those within recorded history. Volcanologists also study currently active or potentially active volcanoes. They use conventional geologic methods, including geologic mapping and age determination of the deposits of past eruptions. They also use field and laboratory studies of volcanic products, geophysical surveys, and drilling studies. The information they gather provides clues about the volcano's eruptive style (explosive vs. nonexplosive; eruption sizes), eruption frequency, underground structure, and magma reservoir. Volcanologists use this information to evaluate the likelihood of future eruptions (long-term forecasts) and other hazards. They also try to construct maps that show the most vulnerable areas on and around the volcano.

This from the USGS has all the answers you are looking for:\nhttp://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/ShieldVolcano.html\n"Volcanoes with broad, gentle slopes and built by the eruption of fluid basalt lava are called shield volcanoes. Basalt lava tends to build enormous, low-angle cones because it flows across the ground easily and can form lava tubes that enable lava to flow tens of kilometers from an erupting vent with very little cooling. The largest volcanoes on Earth are shield volcanoes. The name comes from a perceived resemblance to the shape of a warrior's shield."\nExamples of shield volcanoes are the volcanoes in the Hawaiian island chain, including Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Haleakala, etc.\nHope this is helpful :-)
