4 Sleeping Giants All over the world, volcanoes can be found on top of the Earth s surface and on the bottom of large bodies of water. Often, these massive structures sit for many years even centuries without making a sound. At other times, the story is much different. When volcanoes erupt, they cause tremendous damage. During eruptions, burning hot rocks, ash, steam, and lava shoot out of the volcano, destroying anything in their path. Violent volcanic eruptions cause great damage to property and the environment. Houses, public buildings, and even entire villages, forests, and farms are destroyed. The world s worst volcanic disasters have claimed thousands of lives and cost billions of dollars in repairs. What is a disaster? A disaster is a destructive event that affects the natural world and human communities. Some disasters are predictable and others occur without warning. Coping successfully with a disaster often depends on a community s preparation. 4 Ash and debris deposited during a volcanic eruption destroyed these houses. People who live near volcanoes must be aware of the dangers.
5 Volcano myths Ancient peoples thought volcanic eruptions were the work of angry gods, determined to punish people for deeds that displeased them. In ancient Rome, people believed that a volcano s explosion was caused by the Roman god Vulcan, who worked in a blacksmith shop under the Sicilian island of Vulcano. Vulcan made weapons for his fellow gods, and when his workshop became busy, Romans believed hot rocks and liquid metal flew up from below the Earth s surface. Vulcan forges a volcanic eruption. Living in the shadow Today, the scientists who study volcanoes, called volcanologists, know that eruptions are not caused by angry gods and goddesses who dwell underneath the Earth, but by natural forces. This knowledge helps people who live in the shadow of volcanoes to recognize when volcanoes threaten to erupt. Volcanoes can be dangerous but they are also awe-inspiring natural wonders. A sign warns people of the dangerous volcanic fumes in an area of Hawaii. 5
