The eminent volcanologist T.A. Jaggar in no way exaggerated the significance of volcanic phenomena when je stated that his conception of volcanicity was of a process which is everywhere at work within and beneath the earth’s crust. Today there are more than 500 volcanoes which are still active or at which activity has been recorded during historic times, while the number of extinct volcanoes,…
The chapters of this volume deal with dating, chronology, stratigraphy, volcanic activity, and with the impacts of volcanism on animals, plants, human populations, and the environment. Some of these chapters explain how such findings must be weighed against other cause that influence human behavior and survival, such as factors of social customs, climatic change, shifting biogeographic patterns…

Mt. Semeru volcanic complex is basalt-andesite composite volcano in East Java, Indonesia. The structural geology of study area is indicated by faults or structural trends and negative volcanic landforms such as calderas, maars, craters and escarpments.
L'observation des signaux sismiques d'origine volcanique est une methode importante d'etude de l'activite des volcans.
The volcanic rocks mainly consist of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits that are exposed at the bridgewater, Nelson and Grant volcanis compoxes. Yhe pyroclastic deposits resulting from phreatomagmatic eruption varu in physical characteristics that are likely caused by fluctuation of magma/water ratio during interaction.
Volcanism has played a central role in forming man's environment. In one side, volcanic disasters rank high among natural hazards especially in countries where active volcanoes do occur in densely populated areas. Pyroclastic flows and lahar flows have been important agents of death among the types of volcanic hazards.
The Newer volcanics are basaltic materials which over the past 4.5 Ma (since early Pliocene) have spread from central Victoria through western Victoria to southeastern South Australia. They also include some limited lava flows in eastern Victoria.
The aim of this thesis was to study fine - grained quartz - porohvritic volcanic bodies of limited extent - possible subvolcanic intrusions. The methods used were petrological examinations and geochemical interpretations. The investigations rocks are from the central part of the skellefte are district.
This study deals with the volcanic hazards-mapping from a Petrological and Morphological point of view with a case study in Indonesia (Galunggung Volcano, Tasikmalaya, West Java). From a Petrological point of view the increase or decrease of the major elements contained in the eruption products, the eruption charactheristics and the differentiation processes which have taken place in the magma …
