What do volcanologists study day-to-day? Are there any super volcanoes in the world overdue for an eruption? Why does Iceland have so many active volcanoes? These questions and many more are answered on Volcano Support.

Q: What are the deepest, and shallowest, magma chambers? And how does their depth relate to the thickness of the earths crust in those areas?

I’ve hiked an Indonesian volcanic mountain called Rinjani, few months back, and it was mind blowing. It consisted of a huge ancient volcanic rim, with a lake within, and a smaller active volcano in the middle of the lake!

Is there a visual difference in mountains vs volcanic mountains? Like if I look at a mountainrange with one inactive volcano could I spot it?

16:55 As a student pilot I’m familiar with BA flight 009. All engines failed due to ash in the intakes. FYI, the plane landed safety and no one was injured.

Hmm about strato and shield valcanoes. How could we tell the diffrence between a true shield or a strato that blew of the top into a shield and just havent been active enough to go back strato.. Or does that never happen?
