Learn about the signs that help determine whether or not volcano is about to erupt.

"A rumble deep inside Earth. Hot, flowing magma is trapped and needs a way to escape. Pressure builds and causes a break in the surface. Eruption! Volcanic eruptions can shoot lava, ash, and smoke over a huge area. Why do they happen? Learn about volcanoes, what causes them, and how to be prepared."--

"Earth--it's a disaster zone! For thousands of years, Earth has been exploding with super volcanoes whose magma flows and gas clouds destroy everything in their paths. But what causes these awesome forces of nature and where in the world are they most likely to occur? Discover the science behind super volcanoes, the world's worst-ever volcano disasters, and the technology that scientists are using to help prevent devastating volcanoes of the future"--...

An account of the work of volcanologists Andy Lockhart, John Pallister, and their team describes their life-risking efforts to investigate dangerous volcanoes that pose threats to more than one billion people worldwide.

For months in early 1980, scientists, journalists, sightseers, and nearby residents listened anxiously to rumblings in Mount St. Helens, part of the chain of western volcanoes fueled by the 700-mile-long Cascadia fault. Still, no one was prepared when an immense eruption took the top off of the mountain and laid waste to hundreds of square miles of verdant forests in southwestern Washington State. The eruption was one of the largest in human history,...

"The Cat in the Hat explains the science behind volcanic eruptions and takes readers on a tour of the most famous volcanoes on Earth--and beyond!"--Provided by the publisher.

The eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajk̲ull volcano in 2010 turned much of the northern hemisphere into an ash-strewn no-fly zone. Katla, an Icelandic volcano 10 times bigger, has begun to swell and grumble, and Hekla and Laki, could erupt without warning. Iceland is a ticking time bomb: When it blows, the consequences will be global. What can we do to prepare for the coming disaster?
