四、阅读理解。【2024 潍坊期中】
It seems that the Earth is in a season of volcanic eruptions(火山喷发)recently. Mauna Loa, the biggest active volcano in the world, erupted in Hawaii on 27 in November, 2022, and lasted for two weeks, firing out lava(熔岩)60 metres high in the air. Indonesia's Mount Semeru erupted in 2024. Volcanoes in Mexico and Guatemala also erupted. Nearly 2,000 people living nearby moved out of the areas.
The volcanoes mentioned above have one thing in common: they are all located in the Ring of Fire, or the Cirum-Pacific Belt(环太平洋). This is a 40,000-kilometre path along the Pacific Ocean. Seventy-five percent of the Earth's volcanoes are located along this path. Ninety percent of the Earth's earthquakes also happen there.
Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes in the Ring of Fire are caused by the active movement of tectonic plates(地壳板块). The plates push against each other and cause the rocks to melt and become magma(岩浆). When too much magma gathers underground, it needs to find a way out, releasing lava at temperatures of 800°C to 1,000°C.
Some volcanic eruptions are explosive(爆炸性的)and others are not. This depends on the magma. If magma is thin and runny, gases in it can get out easily. Then the magma just flows out slowly, giving people enough time to go away. If magma is thick and sticky, gases cannot escape easily. Pressure builds up until the gases escape violently and explode. This type of eruptions can be dangerous. The ash(灰)that erupts into the sky can suffocate plants, animals, and humans.
