what was the most recent volcano and were is it?

I believe the most recent volcano - is 14 November 2006 at Home Reef, Tonga Island, Tonga.\n\nPumice rafts originally reported to have been from Metis Shoal are now confirmed to have originated from an island-building eruption of the submarine Home Reef volcano. On 12 August, possibly four days after the beginning of the eruption, a sailor spotted the new island after encountering pumice rafts the previous day. The encounter was written in an on-line journal that described the island as four-peaked. A central crater produced steam plumes and occasional bursts of tephra. Data from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on NASA's Aura satellite showed that sulfur dioxide emissions from the Home Reef area began on 8 August, peaked during 8-9 August, and ceased on 15 August. Based on ASTER satellite imagery from 4 October, the island was an estimated 1 km long with an area of 0.23 square km. The temperature of a small lake on the island was 64.7?C. The island was 0.15 square km, based on ASTER imagery from 12 October. Geologic Summary: Home Reef, a submarine volcano midway between Metis Shoal and Late Island in the central Tonga islands, was first reported active in the mid-19th century, when an ephemeral island formed. An eruption in 1984 produced a 12-km-high eruption plume, copious amounts of floating pumice, and an ephemeral island 500 x 1500 m wide, with cliffs 30-50 m high that enclosed a water-filled crater. \n\nI hope the above is the right answer you are looking for.

I haven't come across a volcano named "El Burrito."\n\nThe name is "Colima Volcano" which appears to be a little south of the line you wrote about.  However, it appears this is the only one that erupted recently in the area you were in.  Click the links below for verification.

famous 1902 volcanic eruption, most of the damage i seem to remeber being caused by a pyroclastic flow, killed about 27,000 people. I'm not sure if that is a myth or not!

Yahoo News Search on the topic of volcanos doesn't turn up anything in the Caribbean.\n\nThere's news today 2/10 of tracking Augustine in Alaska.  But that's pretty far from the Caribbean.\n\nhttp://news.search.yahoo.com/news/search?p=volcano&c=\nhttp://news.yahoo.com/fc/Science/Earthquakes_and_Volcanoes/\n\nI did a Yahoo Search for february 9 2006 volcano caribbean\nand found more information on the\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv1-&p=february%209%202006%20volcano%20caribbean\n\nMontserrat Soufriére Hills Volcano\n\nhttp://search.yahoo.com/search?p=february+9+2006+volcano+montserrat&ei=UTF-8&fr=slv1-&x=wrt\n\nI agree, the news media at large has not done a great job of reporting this info.  \n\nThanks for the pointer.  I'd give you the 10 points if I could.

Super Volcanoes are planet killers!!! Yellowstone is the first one that comes to my mind.\n\nHere's what wikipedia says:\n\n"A supervolcano refers to a volcano that produces the largest and most voluminous kinds of eruption on Earth. The actual explosivity of these eruptions varies, but the sheer volume of extruded magma is enough to radically alter the landscape and severely impact global climate for years, with a cataclysmic effect on life.\n\nThe term was originally coined by the producers of the BBC popular science program, Horizon, in 2000 to refer to these types of eruption. That investigation brought the subject more into the public eye, leading to further studies of the possible effects. At first, supervolcano was not a technical term used in volcanology, but more recently, in 2003 and 2004, the term has been used in articles. Though there is no well-defined minimum size for a "supervolcano", there are at least two types of volcanic eruption that have been identified as supervolcanoes: massive eruptions and large igneous provinces."

Probably the erruption of Mount St. Helens or possibly Krakatoa?

WTF? It wasn't a yes or no question.\n\nYellowstone has a recurrance interval of 600,000 years.  That the average time between eruptions.  It's been 640,000 years since the last eruption.  However, don't get too excited, the standard deviation is HUGE.  On geologic time(10,000 yrs) there's a decent chance of eruption.  On human time (the next 60 years) there's about zero.

It's a pretty impressive stratovolcano also called Fuji-san. It towers almost 11,500 feet above the surrounding area. The most recent eruption was in 1707 on the southeast side of the cone. That eruption blew out about 0.8 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash. By comparison Mt.St.Helens in 1980 ejected 1.25 cubic km of ash. There have been 16 eruptions recorded since 781 AD. \n\nIt appears from looking at the Global Volcanism Program that there has been no earthquake activity in the volcano since 2001. It seems quiet, but is a young volcano still. \n\nHere is a great collection of Mt Fuji photos:\nhttp://live-fuji.jp/fuji/beste.htm\nHere is a live web cam link of Mt Fuji:\nhttp://live-fuji.jp/fuji/livee.htm

a volcano, long long ago on an island far far away.  I'm sure the real answer is in your textbook.

Volcano is the result of Lava and gases gushing out of the surface of the earth at great heat and pressure.  The molten lava is running over the land and destroy the plants and trees and after cooling becomes rock there. Fresh lava  comes out and run in the available slope.  The result is a mountain is growing with fire and lava.  Thus the mountains are the result of volcano and lava.  When the pressure within the volcano is reduced the volcano takes rest.It will erupt at any time  and send lava and gases, fire in all the directions.  The centre of the earth is believed to contain very hot lava and gases which is likely to come out at any time in any part; and most likely in the soft surfaces .

Supervolcanoes are volcanic eruptions where more than 1000 cubic kilometers of material is extruded. As a comparison, the Mount Helens eruption amounted to 2.3 cubic kms.\n\nThe following locations are known to be supervolcanoes:\n\n- Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia - 75,000 years ago (2,800 km³)\n- Yellowstone, United States - 2.2 million years ago (2500 km³) and 640,000 years ago (1000 km³)\n-La Garita Caldera, Colorado, United States - 27.8 million years ago (over 5,000 km³)\n-Bruneau-Jarbidge, Idaho, United States - 10-12 million years ago (responsible for the Ashfall Fossil Beds 1600 km to the east)
