		N-S-trending fractures cutting across the volcano are associated with spatter cones, cinder cones, and maars located on the middle N flank and on the lower S flank down to Lake Nicaragua.
		Eruptions at Kilauea originate primarily from the summit caldera or along one of the lengthy E and SW rift zones that extend from the caldera to the sea.
		CVGHM reported that the Alert Status of Soputan was lowered on 23 November from 3 to 2 (on a scale of 1-4) based on a decrease in the number of earthquakes and seismic intensity, deformation measurements, and visual observations.

		A volcano is a place on the Earth's surface (or any other planet's or moon's surface) where molten rock, gases and pyroclastic debris erupt through the earth's crust.
		Volcanoes vary quite a bit in their structure - some are cracks in the earth's crust where lava erupts, and some are domes, shields, or mountain-like structures with a crater at the summit.
		Rock also comes from volcanoes in other forms, including ash (finely powdered rock that looks like dark smoke coming from the volcano), cinders (bits of fragmented lava), and pumice (light-weight rock that is full of air bubbles and is formed in explosive volcanic eruptions - this type of rock can float on water).

	Volcano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A volcano is a geological landform on the surface of the earth (and other planets) where magma from the planet's interior erupts (or once erupted) to the surface.
		In 1989 the Voyager 2 spacecraft observed cryovolcanos (ice volcanoes) on Triton, a moon of Neptune, and in 2005 the Cassini-Huygens probe photographed fountains of frozen particles erupting from Enceladus, a moon of Saturn
		Volcano is thought to derive from Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan, the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Volcano
		A volcano is a geological landform usually generated by the eruption through a vent in a planet's surface of magma, molten rock welling up from the planet's interior.
		Volcanoes of various types are found on other planets and their moons as well as on Earth.
		In 1989 the Voyager 2 spacecraft observed ice volcanoes (cryovolcanism) on Triton, a moon of Neptune, and in 2005 the Cassini-Huygens probe photographed fountains of frozen particles erupting from Saturn's moon Enceladus.

		Puu ÅŒÅ; (which means Hill of the ÅŒÅ Bird in Hawaiian, is often written as Puu Oo, and is roughly pronounced Poo-oo Ohh-ohh or in the IPA) is a cinder/spatter cone in the eastern rift zone of the KÄ«lauea volcano of the Hawaiian Islands.
		A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the Earth's interior made molten or liquid by extremely high temperatures along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of the planet.
		Although there are numerous volcanoes (some very active) on the solar system's rocky planets and moons, on Earth at least, this phenomenon tends to occur near the boundaries of the continental plates.

		Compound Volcano: A volcano that consists of a complex of two or more vents, or a volcano that has an associated volcanic dome, either in its crater or on its flanks.
		Extinct Volcano: A volcano that is not presently erupting and is not likely to do so for a very long time in the future.
		Volcano: A vent in the surface of the Earth through which magma and associated gases and ash erupt; also, the form or structure (usually conical) that is produced by the ejected material.

	Mexican volcano erupts, spitting out ash, steam - World - theage.com.au
		Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano rumbled to life with six eruptions in the past two days, spewing steam and columns of ash more than two kilometres high.
		There were reports of ash raining down on parts of Mexico state and in the capital 65 kilometres to the northwest, the National Disaster Prevention Centre said in a statement.
		There appeared to be no injuries or damage and the eruptions were in line with the 5,450-metre volcano's normal activity, said Teofilo Hernandez, a researcher at the centre.

	Volcano, Volcanoes, Volcano Information at LiveScience.com
		Today’s existing terrestrial volcanoes are believed to have formed when molten rock or magma welled up in the Earth’s interior pushed its way to the surface causing the volcanoes’ initial eruptions.
		Volcanoes all generally fit into one of six different categories: Shield volcanoes, Cinder volcanoes, Stratovolcanoes, Submarine volcanoes, Subglacial volcanoes, and the most powerful volcano of all, the Supervolcano.
		Individual volcanoes are typically described as being either active (currently erupting), dormant (not currently active) or extinct (not expected to ever erupt again).

	Yellowstone Volcano Observatory
		The Yellowstone Volcano Observatory (YVO) was created as a partnership among the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Yellowstone National Park, and University of Utah to strengthen the long-term monitoring of volcanic and earthquake unrest in the Yellowstone National Park region.
		YVO is one of the five USGS Volcano Observatories that monitor volcanoes within the United States for science and public safety.
		The articles, Yellowstone National Park is a Volcano and Signs of Restlessness expand on the information in the video whereas the article, Volcanic Witness: An Interview with Bob Smith provides information from Bob Smith's, YVO's Coordinating Scientist from the University of Utah, four decades of work on Yellowstone.

	U.S. Geological Survey, Volcano Hazards Program
		A National Volcano Early Warning System (NVEWS) is being formulated by the Consortium of U.S. Volcano Observatories (CUSVO) to establish a proactive, fully integrated, national-scale monitoring effort that ensures the most threatening volcanoes in the United States are properly monitored in advance of the onset of unrest and at levels commensurate with the threats posed.
		Volcanic threat is the combination of hazards (the destructive natural phenomena produced by a volcano) and exposure (people and property at risk from the hazards).
		About half of the most threatening U.S. volcanoes are monitored at a basic level and a few are well monitored with a suite of modern instruments.
