Volcanoes have been around for centuries but, some are active, some are not. Some volcanoes erupt frequently, while others do not. “At least 20 volcanoes will probably be erupting as you read these words” (Siebert 58). We have all heard of volcanoes before but do you really know about them?
A preferred title for “active volcanoes” is a “Holocene volcano” or “historically active.” There are even Holocene volcanoes on the sea floor, and some Holocene volcanoes go way back such as Italy’s Stromboli, this volcano has been erupting for over a thousand years! Holocene means the past 10,000 thousand years and there have been roughly 1,300 eruptions since then and maybe even 1,500. No one is certain how many volcanoes there are but it is predicted
