How often does a volcanoe erupt?
Allison
and Alexis
Hi Again Allison and Alexis,
Well, the answer to your question depends on which volcano you are interested
in. Some volcanoes erupt all the time so the answer might be "every second".
Other volcanoes erup once or twice a month, others once or twice a year,
others once or twice a decade, and on and on. Large volcanic complexes
such as Yellowstone erupts on average once every few hundred thousand years!!
Sincerely,
Scott Rowland
