World Famous Volcanoes At A Glance
Volcanoes are an integral part of the Earth's surface.
The main cause of the eruption of volcanoes is the enormously intense activities going on under the Earth's crust, deep inside the core.
The material under the planet is so dense and heavy that the light volcanic vapors come floating from the core to the crust of the Earth and wherever there is vulnerable land found, a volcano erupts.
Sometimes the eruptions are just the volcanic bombs, giving out dense smoke and deafening sounds.
But many times the eruption is accompanied by the hot liquid lave, which is nothing but the fluid that forms from cooling down of the hot smoke and other gases that are pushed up towards the crust by the under crust pressure of the Earth.
At a time, 15 - 20 volcanoes all over the world are erupting simultaneously.
There are more than 500 volcanoes in the whole world, out of which the most world famous volcanoes are conversed about, below.
When it comes to fame, famous are not just the good things.
Hitler was a symbol of hatred for most of the world residents.
Yet he was famous.
Why? Because of his inhuman and cruel acts.
Volcanoes are considered Hitlers in the world of natural calamities.
And there are a few world famous volcanoes, some because of their famous history, some due to the danger thy serve, and some for their locations and other features.
Let us check out.
Italy's Mt.
Vesuvius, the greatest activity center of the volcanoes in Europe, had killed over 2000 lives in 79 A.
D.
The city of Pompeii had been turned to ashes and got buried by the volcanic eruption of this Mt.
Vesuvius.
Though, it is now an inactive volcanic piece - enough to be called an extinct - the volcano showed a variety of occurring apart from the discharge of lava - like the volcanic bombs and blinding smokes.
Thus, Mt.
Vesuvius is one of the world famous volcanoes.
Hawaii is home to yet another volcanic structure, the Kilauea Volcano, which is situated in the southeast in Hawaii.
A large part of the volcano is immersed under the water, which is a startling feature, enough to make it one of the top mentioned world famous volcanoes.
It has shown the power capacity of destroying more than 200 homes.
Here are thousands of years old lave covering the craters on the mountain and the craters themselves are about 200 years old.
Chile's Llullaillaco claims to be the tallest active volcano alive.
The Atacama region, which bears many other small and large volcanic structures, boasts of being the home to Llullaillaco.
This natural formation is one of the world famous volcanoes because of its unique feature of being covered with snow, most of the times seen.
The lava from the south avalanches towards this mountain.
The last time it burst out was in around 1877.
Mount Saint Helens Volcano is the famous volcano of Washington D.
C.
The eruption sequences in case of this mountain began 120 years back, and since then it has bulldozed many homes, families, and people, even minds.
The last time it erupted was as recent as 1980.
Its eruptions have always been as powerful, such that the effect is similar to that of the bombing of 30 K nuclear bombs.
It will be unfair not to include rest of these names, which are equally world famous volcanoes as the ones mentioned above.
They others are Mexico's, Russia's Kamchatka, Ecuador's Cotopaxi, Bromo Volcano from Java - Indonesia, the highest volcano in Eurasia - the Klyuchevskoy Volcano, etc.
