There are 82 volcanoes active during the 48 weeks of 2019 (January 30 to December 31, 2019; USGS data) Approximately 80~90 volcanoes are active on the Earth for a year. More than 91% of these volcanoes are took place in the circum-Pacific volcanic belt, which is commonly called 'Ring of Fire'. This status coincides with the distribution maps of active volcanoes on the earth: about 80 percent on subduction zone of the convergent plate boundaries; 15 percent on divergent plate boundaries; 5 percent on intra-plate zone. Typically five volcanoes are most active during the survey period (48 weeks); Dukono (Halmahera, Indonesia) 48 times, Aira (Kyushu, Japan) 47 times, Ebeko (Paramushir Island, Russsia) 46 times, Merapi (Central Java, Indonesia) 37 times, Krakatau (Indonesia) 33 times. The comparison of volcanic activity between 2018 and 2019 showed no significant difference. It is assumed that volcanic activity remains stable.

우리가 사는 지구 내부에서 만물을 순식간에 녹여버릴 듯한 불덩이가 솟구치는데, 그것을 화산이라고 한다. 화산이라는 용어인 volcano는 '불의 신'이라 불리는 'vulcan'에서 유래되었다. 즉, 이 '불의 신'이 끓어오르는 '화기(火氣)'를 주체하지 못할 때 화산활동은 시작되는 것이다. 화산활동이 일어나는 지역의 원시부족들은 불을 내뿜는 화산을 '신의 분노' 혹은 '신의 저주'라고 해석한다.

화산활동 지역에서는 lava의 점성, 산도, 화산체로 부터의 공급량, 기반의 경사등에 의해 다양한 화산지형을 형성하고 있다. 제주도 역시 과거 지질 시대를 통하여 수차례의 화산활동이 있었기 때문에 화산체를 중심으로 그 주변 지역에 용암동굴이 산재되어 관광 자원으로 큰 목을 하고 있는 동굴은 금령의 만장굴과 협재의 협재굴등이 그 대표적이라고 볼 수 있으며 규모 역시 세계적이라고 사료된다. (중략)

The Southern Volcanic Zone (SVZ) of Chile consists of many volcanoes, including the Mt.Villarrica and Mt.Llaima, and the two volcanoes are covered with snow at the top of Mountain. The purpose of this study is to analyze the relationship between the ice caps and the volcanic activity of the two volcanoes for 25 years by using the satellite image data are available in a time series. A total of 60 Landsat-5 TM and Landsat-7 ETM + data were used for the study from September 1986 to February 2011. Using NDSI (Normalized Difference Snow Index) algorithm and SRTM DEM, snow cover and snowline were extracted. Finally, the snow cover area, lower-snowline, and upper-snowline, which are quantitative indicators of snow cover change, were directly or indirectly affected by volcanic activity, were extracted from the satellite images. The results show that the volcanic activity of Villarrica volcano is more than 55% when the snow cover is less than 20 and the lower-snowline is 1,880 m in Llaima volcano. In addition, when the upper-snowline of the two volcanoes is below -170m, it can be confirmed that the volcano is differentiated with a probability of about 90%. Therefore, the changes in volcanic snowfall are closely correlated with volcanic activity, and it is possible to indirectly deduce volcanic activity by monitoring the snow.

량강도 북부지역에서는 지질시대로부터 현대에 이르기까지 여러차례의 화산활동이 있어 자연경관을 훼멸, 복구하였다. 특히 갱신세에 분출된 현무암용암, 백두산 소백산에서의 알칼리성조면암의 발생, 800여년전에 분출한 부석은 원래의 자연경관을 훼멸,매몰하고 새로운 자연경관을 형성하기 시작하였다. 자연경관 형성에서 지질,지형,기후,식생,토양 등요소들이 종합적으로 작용하나 그중에서도 화산활동을 위주로한 지질작용이 주되는 인자로 되었다. 즉 용암의 분출에 의하여 본 지구의 지형을 1600m 높여 기후,식생,토양의 산지수직지대성을 형성하였고 강,호수의 형성도 식생,토양의 특성도 화산활동의 제한을 받았다. 모두어 말하면 본 지역의 자연경관은 800 여년 역사를 갖고 지금도 발전, 성숙과정에 있다. 본문에서는 백두산과 가까이 자리잡고 있는 량강도의 삼지연군, 대홍단군, 백암군, 보천군, 운훈군, 갑산군과 함경북도의 무산군, 연사군, 어랑군, 길주군의 일부지역 및 함경남도의 단천서북부가 포함된다. 지리위치로 보면 동경 128 도 16 분으로부터 동경 130 도 02 분까지이고 북위 42 도 10 분부터 북위 41 도 좌우이다.

Volcanic activity, which can read to various danger and hazards to human life, has been part of the Earth's history for a long time. There are approximately 1,520 volcanoes during the Holocene period (about 10,000 years ago) that have been active on Earth. Recently, there are about 210 volcanoes have been recorded since 2010. Meanwhile, there are 83 known active volcanoes in 2018 based on the USGS data. Approximately 80-90 volcanoes are active on Earth for over a year. More than 90% of these volcanoes are located on the circum-Pacific volcanic belt, commonly known as 'Ring of Fire'. This high number of active volcanoes within this area coincides with the distribution maps of active volcanoes on the earth: about 80% on subduction zone of the convergent plate boundaries; 15% on divergent plate boundaries and 5% on intra-plate zone. Five volcanoes are most active during the survey period of 51 weeks: 50 times in Aira (Japan), 49 times in Sabankaya (Peru), 49 times in Sheveluch (Russia), 44 times in Ebeko (Russia) and 40 times in Kirishimayama (Japan). Based on the available data about volcanic activity, there is no significant change in volcanic activity and similar levels of volcanic activity is observed every year.

Radiocarbon and OSL ages of three monogenetic volcanoes inferred to be the last volcanoes on Jeju Island, Korea were determined to identify a volcano described in historical records. The results show that the ages of those volcanoes are roughly <3.8 ka (Songaksan), >4.5 ka (Biyangdo), and <6~7 ka (Ilchulbong). Though our efforts to make a positive match between historical records and volcano-chronological dating were not successful, we make a new suggestion in this paper that two historical records of volcanic activity in 1002 and 1007 A.D. could be interpreted to be the sequential volcanic events from a single monogenetic volcano. In addition, based on a volcanological reinterpretation of historical records, we infer that the volcano described therein is most likely Mt. Songaksan, in Daejeongeup, which had early phreatomagmatic and late magmatic activities after 3.8 ka ago. Furthermore, considering the geopolitical relationship between the Goryeo Dynasty and the Tamna Kingdom, in addition with the culture of the era, this study sheds new light on the possibility that there is a time gap between the actual eruptions and the historical recording of them by ancient people.

The number of volcanoes erupted during the past ten thousand years(Holocene period) on this planet is known to stand around 1,520. Of those volcanoes, the number of active volcanoes during the six-years and seven-month period(January 2010 through the end of July 2016) is totals 209. These findings show that an average of approximate 90 volcanoes erupted every year since 2010. It is also found that over 90 percent of those active volcanoes took place in the circum-Pacific volcanic belt, which is commonly called 'Ring of Fire'. This status coincides with the distribution maps of active volcanoes on the earth: about 80 percent on subduction zone of the convergence of lithospheric plate; 15 percent on spreading zone; 5 percent on intra-plate zone. The period given in this research during 350 weeks, the following three volcanoes showed a frequency of more than 300 times eruption: Kilauea(Hawaii, USA, 338 times), Sheveluch(Kamchatka, Russia, 337 times), and Aira(Kyushu, Japan, 301 times). According to the survey conducted during the given period, there is no conspicuous increase in the frequency of volcano activities. It rather shows that volcanic eruptions took place almost evenly every year.
