top ten the biggest volcanoes power strength and destruction are normally the words used to describe a volcano however today we'll show you some true Giants which have huge dimensions that are barely distinguishable in a landscape join us in this discovery number 10 Mount Mazama Oregon USA to start this top we have to warn you about this volcanoes dimensions which are unimaginable it's eight thousand 156 feet in height and this volcano is not so visible because the main attraction from this area is the beautiful landscape which has a big lake named crater lake because it's principally fact a lake that was formed in a volcanoes cauldron this kind of phenomenon happens when it's inactive for a long time however don't let its tranquility in ornate mists fool you into thinking that mount mazama wasn't dangerous in its moments because it said that its last eruption reached the seventh grade being one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in the last ten years and we emphasize this number because it's been estimated that the Giants last eruption was fifty-seven hundred years ago approximately although it was declared inactive many years ago the United States Geological Service considers future eruptions probable so it represents a threat to anyone who is near it if and resumes its activities [Music] number nine parícutin mexico this volcano is placed in mocha wok in Mexico

complete towns from the map it could make all these catastrophes because it's situated 92 hundred feet above sea level its crater measures 660 feet wide and it's basically the size of to complete blocks even if it is an extinct volcano in a tourist area it could be active at any moment be careful number 8 Mount Tambora Indonesia this volcano is placed in Sumbawa Indonesia and reaches 9,000 350 feet above sea level besides its height this huge wonder has the title for the biggest volcanic eruption ever registered because in 1815 it caused the death of 70,000 people and the next year 1816 was called the year without summer because the eruptions changed Europe and North America's climates besides the fatalities this volcano had in history the Indonesian population has been reestablished however it's thought that an eruption of the same magnitude could make a complete destruction and would reach a higher victim rate that's why Tambora zone is maintained in constant monitoring and has declared 115 miles around it as dangerous areas number seven mount etna cecilia italy now we go straight to cecilia italy to meet this amazing volcano that reaches a height of ten thousand nine hundred twenty five feet above sea level a characteristic that makes this the highest active volcano all around the Eurasian plaque its name comes from the Greek mythology where Etna was a place where her Festo the blacksmith God used fire actually Etna is considered the most active volcano worldwide because it's almost always in constant eruptions although it can be very destructive it isn't taken as a dangerous zone and thousands of people even live around it it's been declared as one of the sixteen volcanoes of the decade by the United Nations also it's been declared as human patrimony by UNESCO number 6 each in ski Russia situated in one of the coldest countries we find this enormous geographic construction it's obviously located in Russia to the far east of the Kamchatka Peninsula to be exact this extraordinary terrestrial formation is found 11800 34 feet above sea level as most of the already mentioned volcanoes in this video it's qualified is one of the highest according to the volume area of approximately 110 cubic miles however what makes this one different is that the territory around the volcano is covered with thick ice that form a lot of different glaciers the descent by its flanks despite of its impotent sighs it's not qualified as a dangerous volcano because its last eruption was registered in 1740 and even the whole volcanic peninsula has been considered as

and volume reaching seventeen thousand nine hundred ninety six cubic miles although it's an active volcano and also it's studied because of its huge in destructive eruptions a lot of closed areas are populated that's why the United States Geological Service maintains a risk map of all the area the last eruption from this natural wonder was in nineteen eighty four it didn't take any life however historically this volcano has disappeared full villages so it's not a surprise it's in constant monitoring number four tamil massive unlike most of the volcanoes in this top this is located under the
