There Are More Volcanoes On Earth

Only a person living near volcanoes knows how dreadful and dangerous the volcanoes are. History says that there are many disasters related to volcanic eruptions. The thing that makes volcanoes more dreadful is that it is a little complicated thing to predict on when a volcano erupts. The earliest recorded disaster was in 76AD when a volcano named Mount Vesuvius buried a city in Italy with its thousands of people; around 75 feet beneath the ash. There are lot more disastrous incidents, related to volcanoes. The island of Krakatoa, has almost disappeared into the sea in 1883 because of the giant 130 feet tsunami wiped it off along all the nearby villages, after a heavy volcanic eruption. Around 100,000 people lost their lives with this incident. Every continent has some volcanoes, no matter whether they are inactive or active.

Recently, researches discovered over thousand more of these volcanoes under seas with the help of satellites. At present we have as many as 201,055 volcanoes in oceans and seas.
