From far away, the apartment building didn’t look abandoned, but as I hiked closer, I noticed open windows from which nature peeked through and subtle bits of damage on the concrete façade. According to my guide, Rie Egawa, a volcano meister—a trai

The Barefoot Volcanologist
On the ash plains of Mount Yasur, on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu, Phillip, an internationally recognised, self-taught volcanologist, stands barefoot atop a volcanic rock bomb. Wearing a lava-protection suit gifted to him by some visiting researchers, the volcano smoulders behind him, sending a plume of gas and sulphur into the sky.

## Volcanos III
### Divergent plate boundaries
Main article: Divergent boundary
Map showing the divergent plate boundaries (oceanic spreading ridges) and recent sub-aerial volcanoes (mostly at convergent boundaries)At the mid-ocean ridges, two tectonic plates diverge from one another as hot mantle rock creeps upwards beneath the thinned oceanic crust. The decrease of pressure in the rising mantle rock leads to adiabatic expansion and the partial melting of the rock, causing volcanism and creating new oceanic crust. Most divergent plate boundaries are at the bottom of the oceans, and so most volcanic activity on Earth is submarine, forming new seafloor. Black smokers (also known as deep sea vents) are evidence of this kind of volcanic activity. Where the mid-oceanic ridge is above sea level, volcanic islands are formed, such as Iceland.[16][3]

>Etymology and terminology
The word volcano (UK: /vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ/; US: /vɑːlˈkeɪnoʊ/) originates from the early 17th century, derived from the Italian name Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy, which in turn comes from the Latin name Volcānus or Vulcānus, referring to Vulcan, the god of fire in Roman mythology.[12][13]
The set of processes and phenomena involved in volcanic activity is called volcanism [early 19th century: from volcano + -ism]. The study of volcanism and volcanoes is called volcanology [mid-19th century: from volcano + -logy], sometimes spelled vulcanology.[12]

Volcanos
> A volcano is a vent or fissure in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface.[1]
On Earth, volcanoes are most often found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging, and because most of Earth's plate boundaries are underwater, most volcanoes are found underwater. For example, a mid-ocean ridge, such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has volcanoes caused by divergent tectonic plates whereas the Pacific Ring of Fire has volcanoes caused by convergent tectonic plates. Volcanoes resulting from divergent tectonic activity are usually non-explosive whereas those resulting from convergent tectonic activity cause violent eruptions.[2][3] Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching and thinning of the crust's plates, such as in the East African Rift, the Wells Gray-Clearwater volcanic field, and the Rio Grande rift in North America

The world’s ’hidden’ volcanoes pose the greatest risk for global crisis
A dormant volcano in Ethiopia erupted after 10,000 years of silence. This event shows how the world’s little-known volcanoes pose the greatest threat.

Over the last few days I have been sharing about the landscape of western Victoria which is covered with volcanos, some of which erupted comparatively recently, as little as 10,000 years ago. The Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland also has quite a few volcanos of a similar age.
The eruptions of both the western Victorian and Far North Queensland volcanos have been remembered by the Aboriginal peoples of the respective regions. They have carefully passed on this history in their oral storytelling traditions for thousands of years.
Today the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Commission) has published some of these indigenous histories. Read these stories about the creation of landscape that includes the stories about the volcanos: https://www.abc.net.au/news/deeptime/topic/landscape-change/

@Badgardener My understanding is that these volcanos in western Victoria are classified as dormant, not extinct. Mynunderstanding is that Australia has two volcanic regions with volcanoes that last erupted comparatively recently - as little as 10,000 years ago. These regions are Western Victoria and Atherton Tablelands in Far North Queensland.
However with the work that scientists have done in places like Iceland and the Pacific ring of fire, they have significantly advanced the ability to detect a volcano re-activating as it gives off little earth tremors. There will be plenty of warning for residents in these regions. The residents are very relaxed about it all.

Volcanic eruptions may have helped spark the French Revolution.
Social upheaval across Europe between 1250 and 1860 correlates with volcanic eruptions, reduced sunspot activity and surging food prices.

The Piloncillo mountains are named after a type of sugar common in Mexico and the Southwest US. A molasses heavy sugar which is sold compressed into cones. (Like jaggery sugar from India.) The extinct volcanos of the Piloncillo mountains are said to resemble these sugar cones. #mountains #volcanos #etymology #geology
