**__Explosive Volcanoes__**

 Hi, my name is Abby and I am in 5th grade. I go to [|MICDS] and I live in [|St. Louis], Missouri. I am doing this page about Volcanoes because it is my project on Natural Disasters and Severe Weather Events for World Geography. This project is mostly about how Volcanoes can impact your life. What they can do to you, and how they can effect you. I choose Volcanoes because my whole life I have thought they have been very interesting and I wanted to learn a little more about them. If you want to learn more about __Explosive Volcanoes__ than please read more.

Historical Event For my Historical Event I will be talking about Mount St. Helens in Washington. Mount St. Helens has erupted many times, once in between 1600-1700, again in 1800 and quite often in between 1831 to 1857. After that eruption the volcano was very quiet. Then on May 18, 1980 8:32am the volcano needed to relieve stress and Mount St. Helens had erupted. The volcano started with a landslide and then turned into an eruption. The extreme eruption had blew off its entire left side. 30 year old David A. Johnston a volcanologist monitored Mount St. Helens. David A. Johnston had known that the volcano was going to erupt. Since he had known he had sent out a warning on the the radio. His warning had saved many thousands of peoples lives, but sadly he had died in the eruption.The heartbreaking volcano caused 57 deaths to human and thousands to both small and large animals. This eruption lasted //nine hours// and the ash had reach //10// miles in //just// ten minutes.

 Today, people should take volcano warnings very seriously because of all the damage it has done to animals, plants and all the deaths its done to people. When people prepare for volcano they get together a kit filled with non-perishable food, water, a radio, batteries, extra flashlights, masks, and goggles. During volcanoes people should stay inside, listen to there radio and television, and keep your goggles and masks on at all times. The radio and television will tell you what to do and keep you updated with the report on the volcano. If you have not evacuated you will need to close all windows, doors, block the chimneys, and other vents to prevent the ash from coming into your house. If everyone had followed these steps there would not of been 57 dea ths.

Title: Mount Lokon Eruption <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Author: Content by AFP <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Date: July 18, 2011 <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;">Source: [|news.discovery.com]

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> Mount Lokon <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> On Sunday July 18, 2011 Mount Lokon in Indonesia erupted. This volcano is one of the most active volcanoes, at 1,580 meters high. Mount Lokon had sent a huge ash cloud at 3,500 meters high. Since the ash cloud was so high they had to inform the airport. This volcano had killed a Swiss hiker in 1991. A little more than 5,200 people had evacuated on the Sunday eruption. Mount Lokon caused a heart attack to a woman. This volcano had erupted right after many earthquakes. Mount Lokon is one of the 129 active volcanoes in Indonesia. Indonesia is sitting on the Ring of Fire with active volcanoes just waiting to erupt.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 130%;"> I had learned a lot from these articles I had never known any of this, not even that Mount Lokon had erupted in July. I was very surprised that all 5,200 people had evacuated. This event is important and related to science because all the magma comes from the Earth's crust and scientists study these things.
