Volcanoes : exploring the restless Earth

Introduces shield, cinder cone, and strato volcanoes by exploring active volcanoes in Hawaii, Mexico, Italy, and Iceland. Establishes the locations of the world's active volcanoes and uses graphics and photographs of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano to show the land-building activity of a shield volcano. Contrasts the sudden eruption of a cinder cone volcano in Mexico with the infrequent but historically verified eruptions of Mt. Vesuvius. Records the destruction of an Icelandic city in less than a week by a newly formed volcano., Shows volcanic activity that formed two new islands off the coast of Iceland in the 1960s. Three other volcanoes are examined, depicting different types of lava, and examines the effects of volcanic eruptions on man and his environment.
