WHAT IS VOLCANO?

A volcano is a vent or vent


'chimney' that connects
molten rock (magma)
from within the Earth’s
crust to the Earth's
surface.

VOLCANO RELATED HAZARDS

Lahars
Ash fall
Pyroclastic Flows
Volcanic Gases
Lava Flows
Ballistic Projectiles
LAHARS

Is a flowing slurry of volcanic


debris and water that
originates on volcano
• Lahars move rapidly down valleys
like rivers of concrete.
• Lahars can occur with or without
volcanic eruption.
• Lahars pick up material as they
travel, which can cause damage to
structures in their path
• Lahars and excess sediment cause
serious economic and
environmental damage to river
valleys and flood plains
ASH FALL

It refers to all explosive


eruption products

Volcanic ash consists of


fragment of pulverize rock and
minerals created during
volcanic eruption

Can pose disruption and


damage to water, buildings,
transportation, power supply,
communication and
agriculture.
PYROCLASTIC FLOWS

Are masses of hot, dry


pyroclastic material and hot
gases that move rapidly along
the ground surface
VOLCANIC GASES

• Carbon Dioxide
• Sulfur Dioxide
• Hydrogen Sulfide
• Hydrogen Halides
LAVA FLOWS

It is not just explosive


volcanic activity that can be
hazardous. Effusive (lava)
activity is also dangerous.

Lava flows can cause


extensive damage by
burning, crushing, or burying
everything in their path.
BALLISTICS PROJECTILES

Volcanic explosions can The force of impact of
