11.) 10 active volcanoes across the globe
1. Stromboli Volcano (Eolian Islands, Italy)

-The volcano is a result of the subduction of the African tectonic plate as it collides with and
slides under the Eurasian plate.
2. Mount Sinabung (Sumatra, Indonesia)

-The 2,460 meter high andesitic-to-dacitic volcano comes from the Sunda Arc, which is created by
the subduction of the Indo-Australian Plate under the Eurasian Plate.
3. Erta Ale Volcano (Danakil depression, Ethiopia)

-The Erta Ale Range is a volcanic chain in Ethiopia’s Afar Region, part of the East African Rift
System where tectonic plates are pulling apart.
4. Semeru Volcano (East Java, Indonesia)

-It is located in the subduction zone, where the Indo-Australia plate subducts under the Eurasia
plate.
5. Fuego Volcano (Guatemala)

-Subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate produces the Central American arc.
6. Sakurajima Volcano (Kyushu, Japan)

-The Philippine Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate, in the Ryukyo Trench, to the
Southeast of the Islands.
7. Mount Erebus (Antarctica)

-Erebus is not associated with a tectonic plate boundary – instead, it is an intra-plate volcano
that lies in a rift, where the Earth's crust has been thinned by slowly being stretched.
8. Reventador Volcano (Ecuador)

-El Reventador could be described as a standard back arc subduction volcano based on the Nazca
Plate subducting under South America, building the Andes.
9. Sabancaya Volcano (Peru)

-Volcanism at Sabancaya is fueled by magma generated at the subduction zone between the
Nazca and South American tectonic plates.
10. Masaya Volcano (Nicaragua)

-Formed by the subduction of the Cocos Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate, along the
Mesoamerican trench, the CAVF runs from volcán Tacaná in Guatemala to Irazú in Costa Rica.

What I Can Do
Morphology
1.
Taal Volcano is part of a chain of volcanoes lining the western edge of the island of
Luzon. They were formed by the subduction of the Eurasian Plate underneath the
Philippine Mobile Belt. Taal Lake lies within a 25–30 km (16–19 mi) caldera formed
by explosive eruptions between 140,000 and 5,380 BP.
Volcanic Activity
Taal Volcano in Batangas, Philippines began to erupt on January 12, 2020, when

a phreatomagmatic eruption from its main crater spewed ashes
over Calabarzon, Metro Manila, and some parts of Central Luzon and Ilocos
Region, resulting in the suspension of school classes, work schedules, and flights in
the area. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS)
subsequently issued an Alert Level 4, indicating "that a hazardous explosive
eruption is possible within hours to days. Volcanic activity continued into 2021,
when smaller eruptions occurred in July 2021.
2. Morphology
Mayon is a classic stratovolcano with a small central summit crater. The cone is
considered the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetry. The concave
profile, a hyperbolic sine curve of the volcano is due to the balance between
erosion and eruption, defined by the angle of repose of ash.
Volcanic Activity
Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines, erupting over 47 times in the
Pinatubo is most notorious for its VEI-6 eruption on June 15, 1991, the second-largest terrestrial
eruption of the 20th century after the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska. Complicating the
eruption was the arrival of Typhoon Yunya, bringing a lethal mix of ash and rain to towns and
cities surrounding the volcano. Surrounding areas were severely damaged by pyroclastic
surges, pyroclastic falls, and subsequently, by the flooding lahars caused by rainwater re-
mobilizing earlier volcanic deposits.
Mount Bulusan, or Bulusan Volcano, is the southernmost volcano on Luzon Island in the

Republic of the Philippines. It is in the province of Sorsogon in the Bicol region, 70 km (43 mi)
southeast of Mayon Volcano and approximately 600 km (370 mi) southeast of the Philippine
capital of Manila. Bulusan is classified by volcanologists as a stratovolcano (or a composite cone)
and covers the northeast rim of Irosin caldera that was formed about 40,000 years ago.
Mount Hibok-Hibok (also known as Catarman Volcano[3][4]) is a stratovolcano on Camiguin Island

in the Philippines.[1] It is one of the active volcanoes in the country and part of the Pacific ring of
fire. Volcanologists classify Hibok-Hibok or Catarman Volcano as a stratovolcano[1] and dome
complex [5] with an elevation of 1,332 metres (4,370 ft) and a base diameter of 10 kilometres
(6.2 mi).
