Did you know that a volcano is a\u00a0conduit that communicates between an internal and an external tectonic plate<\/strong>? The internal tectonic plate reaches a very high temperature becoming what we know as magna, which then emerges through the surface and explodes. Volcanic eruptions are a slow and silent process<\/strong>, so it can take years for an event of this magnitude to occur.<\/p>\n

A recent example of a volcanic eruption is the Kilauea volcano<\/strong>, located on the main Hawaiian island. It is a type of volcano with recurring eruptions that can last millions of years.\u00a0Thanks to the successive shield eruptions of volcanos, the Hawaiian Islands were formed,<\/strong>\u00a0and the biggest Hawaiian island continues to expand.<\/p>\n

10 Fun facts about volcanos:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. The worlds largest volcano <\/strong>at 13,000 feet above sea level is Mauna Loa and it\u2019s located in Hawaii.<\/li>\n
  2. Volcanic eruptions can\u00a0send ash up to 30 kms into the air.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The internal temperature of a volcano can reach 1000\u00baC but the lava can reach 1200\u00baC<\/strong> when it hits the surface.<\/li>\n
  4. There are approximately\u00a010 to 20 volcanic eruptions per day on Earth.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  5. There are approximately\u00a01,500 active volcanos on Earth<\/strong>, and most are found at the bottom of the ocean.<\/li>\n
  6. Italy is the European country with the most active volcanos<\/strong>, it has 14 in total.<\/li>\n
  7. The only rock in the world that can float in water is a volcanic stone,\u00a0<\/strong>known as a pumice stone.<\/li>\n
  8. Large volcanic eruptions can\u00a0<\/strong>reflect solar radiation and lower the Earths temperature <\/strong>by several degrees.<\/li>\n
  9. There is an area in the Pacific Ocean known as the\u00a0Ring of Fire<\/strong>\u00a0because most of the planet\u2019s volcanoes are concentrated there.<\/li>\n
  10. The soil in the areas near volcanoes is very rich and fertile,\u00a0<\/strong>for this reason, there are people who build their houses next to volcanoes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
