Volcanic Activity on Montserrat

Montserrat Pyroclastic Flow

Year 9, as you know you are currently learning about tectonic activity and associated hazards.  Before Christmas and more recently we were looking at Montserrat as a case study of a volcanic eruption and you have used some excellent resources from Juicy Geography that enabled you to work effectively as a team to respond to events and make decisions around a volcanic eruption on Montserrat.

On online colleague of mine drew my attention this evening to the Montserrat Volcano Observatory website, where the hazard level for the island now stands at level 4. The Observatory are reporting increased amounts of volcanic activity recently. Why don’t you check the website over the coming weeks to see whether activity on the island increases in the future?
