  5. Volcano Dangers • Flowing Lava http://ak0.picdn.net/shutterstock/videos/3709817/preview/stock-footage-lava-flow-at-night-hawaii.mp4 http://hawaiianlavadaily.blogspot.com/2010/06/new-lava-flow-movie-is-done-trailer.html • Falling Ash http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2010/11/mount_merapis_eruptions.html

  6. More Dangers • Pyroclastic Flows http://photo.sf.co.ua/id324 Ash in the sky reduces the amount of sun that can enter and leave the atmosphere. Because of this effect the temperature decreases on a global level. ASH • Climate Changes

  7. Ash transported by the Jet Stream The ash from volcanic eruptions can be so plentiful that it can literally spread across the globe within hours. Dragged by the jet stream and other winds, the ash will eventually create a covering that will shade the world from the sun and cause temperatures to decrease rapidly. http://www.smartnetzone.com/10-amazing-photos-of-volcanic-eruptions/

  8. Snow? Ash caused by the eruption of Mount Merapi Volcano in 2010 makes this farmers field look like its be frosted by a recent snow storm. http://exotic-woman.blogspot.com/2010/11/infra-red-pictures-or-lenses-dirty-no.html Ash!

  9. Should we live near Volcanoes? Mount Etna, Has breached the city walls of Catania, Italy; at almost any moment this city could be destroyed forever. Rising to a height of 3,329 meters (10,922 ft), Mount Etna towers over the plains and city of Catania in Sicily, Italy, and remains in a state of almost constant activity. One of its largest eruptions occurred in 1669 when lava flows reached the city walls of Catania, breaching them in one section and destroying structures. http://framework.latimes.com/2011/01/13/pictures-in-the-news-99/ http://scribol.com/environment/10-cities-in-the-sights-of-deadly-volcanoes/5

  10. No, We should not build homes, Schools, or any other Buildings on or near a volcano. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/australiaandthepacific/hawaii/7910851/Hawaiian-homeowner-watches-home-engulfed-by-lava.html http://gwimpy.blogspot.com/

  11. Are Volcanoes Bad? • No, Volcanoes are a necessary part of our world. Because of them, the crust is able to release pressure and heat, allowing the crust to move.
