Decade volcanoes, a close look at the eruption cycles of the mayor active volcanoes in the planet.
The Decade Volcanoes are 16 volcanoes identified by the International Association of
Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI) as being worthy of particular
study in light of their history of large, destructive eruptions and proximity to populated
areas. The Decade Volcanoes project encourages studies and public-awareness activities at
these volcanoes, with the aim of achieving a better understanding of the volcanoes and
the dangers they present, and thus being able to reduce the severity of natural disasters.
They are named Decade Volcanoes because the project was initiated as part of the United
Nations-sponsored International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction.
A volcano may be designated a Decade Volcano if it exhibits more than one volcanic
hazard (people living near the Decade Volcanoes may experience tephra fall, pyroclastic
flows, lava flows, lahars, volcanic edifice instability and lava dome collapse); shows recent
geological activity; is located in a populated area (eruptions at any of the Decade
Volcanoes may threaten tens or hundreds of thousands of people, and therefore mitigating
eruption hazards at these volcanoes is crucial); is politically and physically accessible for
study; and there is local support for the work.

After analyzing the frequency of eruption for each volcano, it is clear that in the past 200 years the activity of volcanoes located in Europe has increased.
Process finds
These are some interesting forms found along the way.
