Energy from volcano

• Volcanic eruptions - have large-scale effects on the locality and nearby areas and can be extremely damaging to the environment
• Results of volcanic eruptions

  • suspension of classes
  • cancellation of flights
• Volcanic Activities - have a huge effect on where it is located anf the places nearby
• Can cause harm to those living within their vicinity

  • ash
  • lava
  • volcanic bombs
  • pyroclastic flows
  • lahars
• Volcanoes

  • are dangerous
  • can kill people and damage property
• Economic activity - can suffer as well, as it is hard for businesses to operate after an eruption
• Habitats and landscape - are also damaged by lava flows
• Concrete blocks - may be formed from pumice and volcanic ash from volcanoes
• Crushed and ground pumice are also used as

  • loose-fill insulation
  • filter aids
  • poultry litter
  • soil conditioner
  • sweeping compound
  • insecticide carrier
  • blacktop highway dressing
• What materials do volcanoes release

  • water vapor
  • carbon dioxide
  • sulfur dioxide
  • hydrogen sulfide
  • halides
• Volcanoes - provide a good environment for the formation of new habitats for animals, plants, and insect
• Volcanic lava and ash - are rich in minerals that provide valuable nutrients for the soil
• Fertile land - near volcanic areas is good for fruits and vegetables which results in higher crop yield for farmers
• Volcanoes attract tourists who enjoy the dramatic scenery that they produce
• Geothermal energy

  • can be harnessed from volcanic areas which can be used to heat buildings or be converted into electricity
  • generate in areas where magma lies close to the surface
  • good for increasing renewable energy use
• Raw materials produce from volcanic activities;

  • Sulfur
  • copper
  • gold
• Minerals - contained in lava
• Volcanoes heal to keep the world about 2 to 3 degrees
• Cooling effect - can last for months to years depending on the characteristics of the eruption
• Volcanic eruptions can create new land
