Volcanoes
How Volcanoes Work Sponsored by NASA, this website does more than explain “how volcanoes work.” It also highlights six historical eruptions: Mt. Pelee, Mt. St. Helen’s, Lake Nyos, Nevada del Ruiz, Paricutin, Krakatau, and Santorini. The site also has a fabulous Volcano Links page which offers links to volcanoes around the world. Scroll down to find links to specific volcanoes under the following headings: United States and Canada, Atlantic and Caribbean, Europe, Central and South America, Africa, Australia and New Zealand and the western Pacific. If you scroll down the page even further, you will find links to video cam sites and (even further down) Virtual Field Trips to selected volcanoes.
