The largest volcano in the world Nyiragongo volcano

The largest volcano in the world Nyiragongo volcano 

Nyiragongo volcano is located in the Al Mount Nyiragongo in the Virunga National Park, which is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, it shall be at about 20 km to the north of the city of Goma and Lake Kivu. And that of the most active volcanoes in Africa. It may constitute a loss is made up of lava that may appear in the crater summit.

 The maximum Artha There lava he's got in this lake has his record and history was about 3,250 meters (10,700 feet) in January 1977, while the depth of this lake is about 600 meters (2000 feet).

 The lake began in this activity since 1882, and has earned her the outbreak and arose from no less than 34 times, the last eruption there for this volcano was in January 2002, before the start of eruption six months of 2002, Nyiragongo erupted again , and is still an active volcano so far, but it may now be limited to the crater, this which now form the lake consisting of lava.

 Due to the importance of the subject and studied the gravity of this volcano and has done by a team of scientists his recent exploratory tour around consisting of lava lake of Nyiragongo.

And lava emitted by the impact of the eruption of Nyiragongo was often on Sailaly the form of a non-normal, it happens that there nephelinite milliliter rocks, and that this kind which is rich Balgulwah volcanic rocks may be to have a chemical composition is unusually, due to excessive liquidity, Nyiragongo lava may flow speed of about up to 100 km / h, may be mostly flowing in safe places, and rarely pose a threat to human life.

Victims of eruptions: has been formed, consisting of the active lava lake that the crater between 1894 and 1977 and the tenth of the month of January in 1977, cracking the mountain walls had happened and also it flowed lava liquid immersed within less than an hour, leading to Nearly a lot of deaths were 70 people, but some reports indicated much more numbers have reached thousands of people.
