Volcanic Activity

Volcanic Activity. Year 10 Geography. Volcanic Activity. Volcanic activity is important right across the earth’s surface. There are over 500 active volcanoes which still erupt from time to time. Each year there are about 30 or 40 eruptions.

Volcanic Activity

Volcanic Activity. Volcanoes. In the last section we learned that the outer layer of the earth is called the Crust. We also learned that the crust is broken into many different pieces called Plates. The plates are constantly moving because of Continental Drift.
