From Mount Aso to Merapi, the most active volcanoes in the world. PHOTO

The latest in chronological order is the eruption that took place on Mount Aso (pictured), October 20, 2021. Here is the largest active volcano in Japan. But all over the world there are so many active and dangerous volcanoesthe. Here is the list of those with greater activity, as reported by Time in a 2018 article

When currency which volcanoes are the most dangerous in the world, several come into play factors, including the population density in the area surrounding active volcanoes, i types of magma that emerge during eruptions and the history of eruptions of each volcano. An explosive volcanic eruption in a remote area is not as dangerous as that in a populous region that requires mass evacuations. And volcanoes that spend a long time without erupting pose a greater risk of eruption due to the increasing pressure within them.

Eruption on Mount Aso, it is the most active volcano in Japan

The regions where the volcanic eruptions they can be deadly include theIndonesia, the Philippines, parts of South America and various volcanoes in the United States. Below, some of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, based, as we said, on their volcanic history, population density and type of magma

Active volcanoes in Italy: the complete list

The Vesuvius it is considered a dangerous volcano since the eruption of 79 AD which buried the city of Pompeii. According to the Smithsonian Institute / USGS Global Volcanic Program database, in the latest 17,000 years the volcano crossed eight major explosive eruptions followed by large pyroclastic flows. The last eruption known of Vesuvius occurred in 1944. The Italian government has made several plans in case of a possible future eruption. According to the database, at least six million people live in the vicinity of Vesuvius

A number of factors make up the Mount Rainier one of the volcanoes more dangerous than the USA. The USGS focuses on the high elevation, chemical composition, proximity to Washington suburbs of Seattle and Tacoma, and the volcano’s ability to produce intense pyroclastic flows, lava flows and volcanic ash. The heat from the lava flows could potentially melt the snow and ice on the volcano, causing a rapid downstream flow of mud, rocks and debris. For the Global Volcanism Program, more than 2 million people would be at risk

The most active and dangerous volcanoes in the world

Located in Alaska’s Katmai National Park and Preserve, the Novarupta volcano was formed in 1912 as a result of a rash that was the largest in the world In the twentieth century. The eruption formed an ash cloud that rained sulfur ash across southern Alaska and parts of Canada

The Mount Pinatubo, located in a populated region of the Philippines, he became famous after a big one 1991 eruption, the second largest of the twentieth century, just after Novarupta. While Pinatubo didn’t have a history of explosive eruptions prior to that, the 1991 event has killed at least 722 people after producing pyroclastic flows which formed a caldera full of lakes in the volcano. Today, according to the Global Volcanism Program, more than 21 million people they live within 100 kilometers (about 62 miles) of Pinatubo

The 1980 eruption of Mount Sant’Elena from Washington has been the deadliest and most destructive volcanic event in US history. Fifty-seven people died along with thousands of animals and some 200 square miles of forest were destroyed. According to the USGS, the history of Mount Sant’Elena’s explosive eruptions indicates that future episodes are very likely to occur. The volcano is under close monitoring

The Mount Agung it is constantly erupting. Located in Indonesia, its great eruption is famous in 1963: it was one of the most devastating eruptions in the country’s history. The phenomenon lasted 11 months and resulted in more than 1,000 deaths. Ash plumes above the volcano were observed throughout 2018, following an eruption in November 2017. The volcano is located in a region with a population of around four million people.

The famous Mount Fuji of Japan it was formed 100,000 years ago and repeated volcanic eruptions have gradually transformed it into the most impressive mountain in the country, 3,776 meters high. The last eruption, which took place in 1707, lasted 16 days and the volcanic ash reached the city of Tokyo. According to the researchers, the 9.0 magnitude earthquake of 2011 increased the pressure below the Fuji. If Mount erupts again, according to the Global Volcanism Program, more than 25 million people in the surrounding area

One of the most active volcanoes inIndonesia, the Mount Merapi it has been erupting continuously for centuries. According to NASA, Merapi’s greatest risk is pyroclastic flows that can spread over large areas and threaten people. Merapi resumed its activity in 2018 and again in 2020. More than 24 million people live in the surrounding area
