The Earth Will Be Shaking ---What About Volcanic Eruptions?

Thanks to a viewer, Morris P., we are passing on to you a fascinating video on the science behind Iceland's volcanic eruptions, how a volcanic eruption affects life, the hazards, and what can be done.

• ash fall literally buries a hamlet of homes
• ocean water is sprayed on magma to stop its flow, saving a harbour
• people have to evacuate 
• black spots in lungs of butchered lambs after eruption, humans also affected by fine ash?
