Sumatra's Volcanic Eruptions


Oregon State University had been following the progress of Sumatra’s volcanic activity. They have discovered that within the past 35,000 years that there have been as many as six volcanic explosions, all that have the same or more explosive intensity of Mount St. Helen’s eruption in Washington in 1980. There aren’t solutions to this problem. No one can stop a volcanic eruption from taking place. The only thing that anyone can do is keep track of the volcanic activity. I think that this is awful that this country may go through another natural disaster. In 2004 and 2005 Sumatra had multiple earthquakes and tsunamis that killed a ton of people. Also in April, Sumatra had another earthquake hit that had a magnitude of 8.6.earthquake.
