Volcanoes

                                                                 Volcanoes

         Mt. St. Helens  is a volcano. The most famous eruption was in 1980. It was 33 years ago .  The ash was deposited to 11 different states and 57 people died.

       What is the Ring of Fire? Most volcanoes are around the Pacific  Ocean. The volcanoes  form a ring. It is called the Ring of Fire .

     Mont Pelee is  on the island of Martinque in the Atlantic Ocean. Mont Pelee  is a special kind of mountain. It is a volcano. The most famous eruption was in 1902. Two people survived. One guy was in an underground jail, and the other was a girl who knew where a cave was. They were both safe.

          Volcanoes cause destruction like, earthquakes , fast floods, mud slides , rock falls , and burns. They cause damage to people and houses and trees. Also, dust and ash can cause damage to the roofs and it can make it hard to breathe.  Good things that volcanoes do are the ash can have vitamins and minerals for the soil.
           Volcanoes are  fascinating and scary. They are interesting  to read and learn about.

  1. Mt. St. Helens erupted the year that uncle Chris was born! Did you know that when we cut up some of the trees that had fallen there was a layer of ash inside the trees? Also in the buildings around here!
