The earth is alive, and volcanoes are the clearest evidence of this. Geologically, these mountains are places where the hot magma of the mantle finds an escape route to the surface through a weak point in the crust. Historically, they have caused some of the most infamous disasters mankind has ever endured, destroying entire communities in places like Pompeii and Martinique.
From an in-depth look at the geologic forces that create these volatile mountains to visits to the labs where scientists and engineers are devising new ways to protect communities living in their shadows and predict when eruptions might occur, NATURE TECH leads a fascinating inquiry into the world of VOLCANOES. See why seemingly tranquil peaks can harbor far greater potential threats than perennially active craters, and look to past disasters for lessons that we can use in the future.
