Plumes of ash and smoke up to several kilometers in height, and from the South-Eastern crater flowed streams of molten lava. From the Sicilian city of Catania, located 30 kilometers from Etna could clearly see the plumes of smoke. However, Etna is not the only active volcano in Italy, not to mention other countries.
Active volcanoes of the Earth
The Volcanoes is a geological formation located on the surface of the crust. Magma – natural, most often the liquid melt in the earth's crust that forms igneous rocks. Streamed magma that has lost water, carbon dioxide, chlorine, etc. is called lava. When magma comes to the surface from the crater of the volcano, it becomes lava and volcanic gases.
All of the volcanoes on our planet are divided into active (active) and inactive (dormant). Scientists call those active volcanoes that erupt in the last 10 thousand years, with some active volcanoes can be considered a sleeper, but the eruption on them is still possible. In General, on our planet there are about 900 active volcanoes. In turn, those volcanoes that have lost their activity are called extinct.
