Probably the best known volcano in Indonesia, or in the whole world for that matter, is Mount Krakatau. It erupted violently in 1883. What caused it to erupt? Or, more generally, what causes volcanoes to erupt? In order to know the answer, it is necessary for us to know what a volcano is. In Indonesian we call it "gunung berapi", or "gunung api" for short. The question is where the heat and fire come from. According to geologists, deep beneath the ground there are chambers which contain molten rock. Because of high pressure, the molten rock forces up the passage which connects the chamber and the opening in the crust of the earth. This molten rock flows out of the opening ,as lava (magma), and along with it ashes and gases are emitted. Eventually the lava cools off and becomes solid rock. Sometimes the solid rock blocks the opening and eruption stops. However, if high pressure builds up in the chamber, the blockage may re-open and the volcano erupts once more.

Very often a volcanic explosion, like the 1883 explosion of Mount Krakatau, causes a great deal of human suffering. That is why people often associate volcanoes with disasters. That is not wholly correct, of course, since there are also some good things. Firstly, volcanoes, like mountains in general, cause clouds to rise and then cool off from rain. Secondly, the materials thrown up by volcanoes contain minerals needed by, plants. After many years the volcanic materials make the soil fertile.

Not all volcanoes are found on land, however. Many of them are found under the sea. These are called submarine volcanoes. Whether land or submarine volcanoes, they usually have one thing in common, they are cone-shaped.

Uday and Qusay are killed and the delighted British and American governments suggest that Iraq will be a safer place. Yes, the Iraqis may well feel safer. And with the dictator's brutal sons out of the way forever-more are Iraqis confident about continuing the resistance against the American occupiers.

One thousand years ago, in the desert of the Chaco Canyon, the Anasazi people built a nine multi-storey building called "Great House ".
