Volcanic eruptions can drastically alter the geography of a region. Hot, liquid lava flowing downslope can force people living near volcanoes to flee their homes. Even more dangerous, however, are pyroclastic flows and lahars, in which volcanic rock ...fragments travel in fast-moving clouds and mudslides. This interactive resource adapted from the National Park Service explains why eruptions are explosive or effusive and details the many hazards associated with each type.

Lava tubes are cave formations found where volcanoes generate surface flows in the western United States, Japan, Italy, Australia, Pacific Ocean islands, and other areas. They vary in size and complexity, from short, straight formations to multi-leve...led labyrinths that extend for miles. The largest and most extensive lava tubes discovered to date are in Hawaiʻi, where lava flows can travel more than 80 kilometers (50 miles) from their source. This interactive activity, adapted from The Virtual Lava Tube, by Dave Bunnell, offers a visual tour of lava tubes and their many features.
