    About this ebook

    Volcanic activity results in an outburst of materials in life threatening proportions. A typical volcano eruption will emit rocks, gas, and ash that plumes into the earths atmosphere. The eruptions and the flow of the lava are capable of destroying lands and major cities to several miles. Even though not all the eruptions are the same, they do tend to terrify and disrupt the habitation in the surrounding regions. If you inhabit in a neighborhood that has the volcanic threat, it is in your best interest to learn about the preparations that you have to carry out to survive an eruption. Taking the time to learn about the preparations will protect you and your family from an unexpected eruption. 

    The eBook concentrates on the essential factors that play a primary role in preparedness. With the help of the topics covered in the book, you will be able to offer food, water, medical aid, and safety precautions to your family. You no longer have to wait for the governments assistance, which often results in time consumption.

      Prepper's Hacks - Felipe Alvarez

      Introduction

      A volcanic eruption is a process through which the earths crust releases pressure and heat. During this process, various poisonous gases, ash, tephra, and lapilli expels from the volcanic fissure or vent. Volcanologists categorized the eruptions based on a volcanos activity. There is a chance that few volcanoes’ exhibit only one character of eruption. However, the behavior changes according to the period and other environmental factors.

      The eruptions of the volcano have different meta-types. The most observed are magmatic eruptions, which involves decompression of the gas. On the other hand, Phreatomagmatic eruptions are eruptions driven by the compression of the gas within the magma. Within the wide defining eruptive categories lie several subgroups. The stronger eruptions are Pelean eruptions followed by the Plinian eruptions. The weakest are the submarine, Hawaiian, Vulcanian, Strombolian, and Surtseyan. Volcanic Explosivity Index defines the measurement of the eruptive strength. It ranges between zero and eight and co-relates to the eruptive types.

      The eruption mechanism is due to three constituents - gas released due to decompression, thermal counteraction from chilling, and ejection of entrained particles during steam eruptions. Outbreaks occur in either explosive activity or effusive activity. Explosive activity is gas driven explosions that push tephra and magma. Effusive activity is the outpouring of lava without a particular explosive eruption.

      The measurement index, volcanic the explosivity index, measures the strength of the eruptions. The Smithsonian Institution’s, Global Volcanism Program uses the index in order to study the prehistoric and historic lava flows. It is very much similar to the Richter scale that measures the strength of the earthquakes. Magmatic eruptions produce juvenile clasts due to the explosive the compression created during the gas release. The intensity ranges from small volume to grander volumes. An example of the relatively small intensity is the lava fountains found in Hawaii. An example for the Ultra-Plinian eruption column is the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that buried Pompeii in 79.

      Hawaiian volcanoes are calmest types of volcanic events characterized due to the effusive eruption of lava that have small gaseous content. The uniform generation of small amounts of lava forms the shield volcano. Eruptions are not at the centre but occur along the vents and
