Answer 3

1) Mount Etna in Italy standing at 3350 meters.
Mount Etna is the highest volcano in Europe, the height of this volcano is changing with the time because of its activity.
The base of Mount Etna covers an area of about 1605 sq km (about 620 sq mi).
The Valle del Bove, which is an abyss (4.8 km wide) on the eastern flank of the mountain, is the original crater.
There are 3 kinds of zones on the slopes of the Etna: the fertile cultivated zone, which extends to about 915 m (about 3000 ft); the forested zone; and the desert zone, which extends upward from about 1920 m (about 6300 ft), with the highest peaks covered by snow.
Mnt Etna has been active for over 3 centuries (the first eruption was recorded in the 18th century bc). One of the most disastrous eruptions occured in AD 1169, when the village Catania and 15,000 people were killed.

2)Helka in Iceland at 1491 meters
Hekla is situated in southwestern Iceland. It is the most active volcano of the Icelandic ones. The cone is surmounted by a cap of ice.
The volcano erupted most disastrously in 1766. The most recent eruption was in 1991.

3) Mount Versuvius also in Italy 1281 Meters
Vesuvius is famous for the huge eruption in 79 A.D. that buried the towns of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
The 79 A.D eruption was observed by Plini the Elder one. He wrote all aspects of the eruption down in detail. This was the first report on a volcanic eruption.
The Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex is a central composite volcano formed by an older stratovolcano (Monte Somma)
with a summit caldera.


4) Stomboli, Italy again, at 926 Meters.
Stromboli is a volcanic island situated in the southern of Italy. The island is about 3 miles (2 km) in diameter and 2,900 feet (900 m) above sea level. On Stromboli are an active volcano (also called plain the Stromboli), 926 m/3038 ft high) and a few small villages.
Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth. It has been in nearly continuous eruption for about 2,000 years. Most eruptions at Stromboli consists of small gas explosions that throw incandescent blobs of lava above the crater rim. These explosion occur every hour. When this type of eruption is observed at other volcanoes it is often referred to as a Strombolian eruption. Larger, more explosive eruptions and lava flows are rare at Stromboli.
