The Decade Volcanoes and Us - E-book - ePub

What are the Decade Volcanoes, and are they going to kill us?  There's no quick and easy answer to that question, other than "dangerous" and "maybe."  This new and improved second edition, like the original, will help you get started on your own investigation into these beautiful but hazardous fire mountains.  It explains what the 1990s Decade Volcano program was and why it got started.  Then you'll meet the sixteen volcanoes (seventeen, actually, but they made the two Russian volcanoes a single entry).  Besides basic facts, written in plain English by an informed layperson, there are also links to videos and to much authoritative online background material and monitoring websites.  If technical details are your thing, you'll find an extensive reference section at the end of each chapter.
