Ben Edwards, Professor of Geological Sciences at Dikinson College in Pennsylvania, said CBS Evening News Plus “on Monday that eruptions around the world have Almost daily cases.
“The earth is made of tectonic plates, and at the edges of the plates – where all the activity occurs mainly, where there are earthquakes, here is where there are volcanoes and other things, and therefore all this activity is due to the fact that we live on the active planet, where the surface of the planet is moving on essence every day,”
In September, hundreds of residents of the closest were evacuated after the conlaon promoted thousands of tons of harmful gases in one day.
In 1996, three tourists were killed near the top and later rescued when Kanlaon flared up without warning, officials said.
