Check out all the links I listed, you should enjoy...\n\nA volcano is an opening (or rupture) in the Earth's surface or crust, which allows hot, usually molten rock, ash, and gases to escape from deep below the surface. Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time.\n\nVolcanoes are generally found where two to three tectonic plates pull apart or are coming together. A mid-oceanic ridge, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, has examples of volcanoes caused by "divergent tectonic plates" pulling apart; the Pacific Ring of Fire has examples of volcanoes caused by "convergent tectonic plates" coming together. By contrast, volcanoes are usually not created where two tectonic plates slide past one another (like the San Andreas fault). Volcanoes can also form where there is stretching of the Earth's crust and where the crust grows thin (called "non-hotspot intraplate volcanism"), such as in the African Rift Valley or the European Rhine Graben with its Eifel volcanoes).\n\nFinally, volcanoes can be caused by "mantle plumes," so-called "hotspots;" these hotspots can occur far from plate boundaries, such as the Hawaiian Islands. Interestingly, hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on rocky planets and moons.

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.

I found a different website that talks about all the different types of volcanos.  There  are Shield volcanoes, Strato, Rhyolite caldera, Monogenetic fields, Flood basalts and Mid-ocean ridges.  There was also some interesting volcano facts that you might be able to use at the 2nd website below.

Ah... something called a caldera forms.\n\nhttp://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/Caldera/description_caldera.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caldera\nhttp://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2003/2003GL018380.shtml\nhttp://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/1996/96_04_26.html\nhttp://www.yellowstonenationalpark.com/calderas.htm\nhttp://www.mvo.ms/glossary.htm\n\nGosh, if these don't help... I don't know what will.

Hi Bob. There is plenty of information on Mt St Helens on the internet, try an encyclopaedia first.\nEveryone here is happy to help you when you need it, but this is a project you shouldn't have trouble doing on your own.\nStart here:\nhttp://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/msh/\n(addresses with "edu" in the title are better for projects because this indicaties it is an educational institutions' web page.)\nYou'll find useful links on that page, like this one:\nhttp://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/frequent_questions/group9_new.html\n(see 83)

Well, the page linked below lists many of them, but you need to decide what you will count as volcanoes. You take for example Kilauea. Kilauea has erupted from several different craters in the last hundred years, including Halemaumau, Kilauea Iki, and most recently, Puu Oo. Those are a few miles apart. Is each crater a separate volcano?\n\nThe link takes you to a list that is mostly comprised of large shield volcanoes. The island of Hawaii is made of several of those, Maui's got two, Molokai's got three, and the island of Lanai is made of just one. Many of those shield volcanoes have smaller volcanoes on them. \n\nMany of the shield volcanoes like Mauna Kea or Haleakala  have cinder cones on them. I pass two or three on the way to work every day. Are you counting cinder cones? There may not have been a definitive census ever done of those on Hawaiian volcanoes. Diamond Head or Leahi on Oahu is a tuff ring. It was once probably a cinder cone, but do you count tuff rings? Is Diamond Head one of the 40 Honolulu vents mentioned on the page below under Oahu? I don't even know.\n\nDo you count underwater volcanoes? How about the Emperor Seamounts, which were probably formed by the Hawaiian Hot Spot, but which are underwater and stretch all the way north to Alaska?\n\nYour question seems like a simple one that should have a straightforward answer, but it's really not.

Eruptions! Earthquakes!  The cool exciting stuff!  What did you want to know about it?

You need to include:\n1. A world map of volcanoes. \n2. Statistics about volcanoes (average number of people died from them, how frequently they erupt and destroy things).\n3. Glossy color pictures of volcanoes.\n4. A scientific basis, such as \n.....a question "why do volcanoes occur?"\n.....specific hypotheses as explanations of natural phenomena (a short guess about why volcanoes erupt before the kid does any research, such as "I thought volcanoes erupted because it was like a big pimple. I wasn't sure, so I decided to research this topic.")\n.....research about why (check the Internet, encyclopedia or library)\n.....a conclusion "volcanoes happen because ..."\n.....and "my hypothesis was wrong. I found that volcanoes are not like pimples. They are more like open arteries, because once they erupt they keep spewing until they go dry."\n5. All the good volcano projects have videos of live volcanoes (use an LCD monitor).

Here is the USGS list of historic earthquakes. It does include many (probably too many) events since 1980. There are links on the page that will lead to you lists sorted by region, magnitude, etc.:\nhttp://earthquake.usgs.gov/regional/world/historical.php\n\nHere is the list of volcanic eruptions that have had more than 300 casualties. It is a little harder to sort out the most significant volcanic eruptions since we have no scale for comparing them.\nhttp://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/Effects/Fatalities.html\n\nCORRECTION: THERE IS A SCALE FOR VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS, BUT THOSE ARE NOT CLASSIFIED USING THE VEI SCALE:\nhttp://lvo.wr.usgs.gov/sizes.html\n\nThis site at the Smithsonian Global Volcanism Program is searchable by year, and has links to each significant eruption:\nhttp://www.volcano.si.edu/world/find_eruptions.cfm\n\nI haven't seen this but thought this CD from the Smithsonian looked interesting. It has a global dataset of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes since 1960 (but costs $20).\nhttp://www.volcano.si.edu/info/products/eqerupt/eqerupt.cfm\n\nHere is the USGS list of Historical Landslides starting in 1958 and continuing to date:\nhttp://landslides.usgs.gov/learningeducation/historical.php\n\nHere is a list of major Pacific tsunamis from 1981 to 1997 at the Russian Academy of Science. :\nhttp://omzg.sscc.ru/tsulab/recent.html\nThe site has quite a few other lists of tsunami events grouped by ocean basin.\nhttp://omzg.sscc.ru/tsulab/\n\n\nAnother type of geologic event that is hard to pinpoint because it is a gradual process is subsidence. This is an informative website that lists various types of subsidence and where it is happening:\nhttp://www.earthsci.org/processes/struct/subside/Subsidence.htm
