The power of a volcanic eruption is one of nature's most dangerous
forces. From the beginning of recorded time, volcanoes have
continually changed Earth's surface and weather patterns. Each of
these books, which are written to accompany and enhance an earth
science curriculum, describes the composition of planet Earth, the
different types of volcanoes, and the geologic events that bring
about an eruption. This dynamic series takes a look at six of the
most important active volcanoes on Earth and the big blasts that
have altered the history of humankind.
The 1815 eruption of this volcano was the most deadly explosion
of any volcano in recent history. Nearly 92,000 human deaths were
attributed to the blast from this Indonesian volcano.
