WEEK FIVE- VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN NEAR BY COUNTRY

This week in our geology class, we learned and are discussing how volcanic activity effects our country. My chosen country of Cuba has been hard to find if it has a volcano or not. I have run into confusion with many sites posting that Sierra Maestra is the tallest point when I search for volcanoes but it hasn't been clear if that if it is a volcano or mountain, so, I will be sharing information on a near by country of Costa rica and how volcanoes play a hazard to that country.Costa Rica has many volcanoes. Costa Rica's tallest volcano is Volcano Irazu however, Volcano Poas remains one of  the most active although the last eruption was back a century ago. Still today, people can see gesyers exploding into the air. Due to Costa Rica having several volcanoes and experiencing volcanic eruption, this has led to Costa Rica to heavily prepare and alert it's citizens through: sending out alerts through cell phone and televisions. They have also created jobs for scientists to monitor the countries volcanic activity.
