 * People moved out of the area more than a kilometer to get away from the ash and lava. There has also been mud slides that could wipe out houses near the base of the volcano. Since the government realize this was a danger zone they blocked off a seven kilometer away perimeter. No one is aloud to enter the forbidden area. The smoke spewing from the volcano was raised 6,000 meters in the air then carried by wind to cities, spreading ash.**

Reflection**: Mayon, Phillipines.** **El chichon. Oshima, japan. I chose Mount Mayon because it is suppose to erupt this summer which is different from mine.** Read the other wikipages. Select three volcanoes and tell me __why__ you chose them. What are the similarities (3) and difference(s) (at least 1) between your volcano and the three you chose?
