Through this article, we have tried to help 9th standard students of CBSE to get some idea on how to write a CBSE Class 9 Social Science Disaster Management Project on Volcanic Eruptions. The topic that we are covering is Volcanic Eruption. Hope you'll enjoy the page -

My project would have never been completed without the help and support of our SST Teacher who made us understand the topic and gave guidance on making the project. My sister who helped me collecting matter for the project has also been very helpful. I would like to thank my neighbors for they also showed their support.
Preface
My project is on the topic ‘Volcanic Eruptions’. This project is on the disaster taking place due to volcanic activity and the loss of life and property due to this. There are many volcanic activities taking place in the world and the lives being damaged. This is to show formation of volcano, its resources and the type of volcanoes. This activity is happening due to extreme temperature or rise in temperature of earth’s surface.
Volcano – Introduction
Volcano, mountain or hill formed by the accumulation of the materials erupted through one or more openings called volcanic vents on the earth’s surface. The word ‘volcano’ can also be used for the vents themselves. Most volcanoes have steep slopes but some can be very gentle slope mountains or flat plateaus or even plains. Most of the world volcanoes are located beneath the sea, formed along the global oceanic ridge system that crisscrosses the deep ocean flow. More than 1,500 above-sea volcanoes have been active during the last ten thousand years, more than 500 of them erupting one or more times during the written history. On an average 50 to 60 above-sea volcanoes are active worldwide in a given year. Volcanic eruptions in populated regions are threat to property, agriculture and people. The danger comes because of the fast flows of explosively erupted materials, lava, falling ash, poisonous gases and volcanic debris flows. In addition to this, volcanic eruption in areas which are not populated would cause pollution anyway which would lead to danger to life.
