To fill the chart, we choose three well - known volcanoes: Novarupta (Alaska, 1912 is given), Mount St. Helens (Washington, USA, 1980), and Mount Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991).
Novarupta (Alaska, 1912)
- Where and when: Alaska, 1912
- Type of volcano: Stratovolcano (composite volcano)
- Injuries and deaths: Relatively few direct deaths (around 1), as the area was sparsely populated.
- Environmental Effects: Vast ash cloud, cooled global temperatures temporarily, damaged local ecosystems.
- Economic Effects: Damaged fishing and hunting industries in the region, affected transportation due to ash.
Mount St. Helens (Washington, USA, 1980)
- Where and when: Washington, USA, 1980
- Type of volcano: Stratovolcano
- Injuries and deaths: 57 deaths, many injuries from the blast, ash, and debris.
- Environmental Effects: Devastated local forests, mudslides, changed the landscape, affected local wildlife.
- Economic Effects: Loss of timber industry revenue, tourism impacts (both negative initially, then positive for volcano - related tourism), costs for cleanup and recovery.
Mount Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991)
- Where and when: Philippines, 1991
- Type of volcano: Stratovolcano
- Injuries and deaths: Around 800 deaths, many injuries from ashfall, lahars (mudflows).
- Environmental Effects: Global temperature drop due to sulfur dioxide emissions, damaged local agriculture, lahars destroyed habitats.
- Economic Effects: Devastated local agriculture (rice, sugarcane), damaged infrastructure, costs for evacuation and recovery, but also new land formed from lahars for future use.
| Volcano Name | Novarupta (Alaska, 1912) | Mount St. Helens (Washington, 1980) | Mount Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of volcano | Stratovolcano | Stratovolcano | Stratovolcano |
| Injuries and deaths | ~1 death, few injuries | 57 deaths, many injuries | ~800 deaths, many injuries |
| Environmental Effects | Vast ash cloud, global temp drop, local ecosystem damage | Devastated forests, mudslides, landscape change | Global temp drop, damaged agriculture, lahar - related habitat destruction |
| Economic Effects | Damaged fishing/hunting, transport issues | Timber industry loss, tourism impacts, cleanup costs | Agriculture devastation, infrastructure damage, evacuation/recovery costs |
