The ten most active volcanoes in our planet have a real chance to escape over the next 100 years, endangering more than 1 million people. A list of volcanoes was created with the help of the University of Manchester, which shows the threat to the regions and global stability.

Albert Zijlstra, a professor at the University of Manchester, said: "There are several regions in the world where observation of volcanic activity is very scarce, and many of these uncontrolled volcanoes are close to human-inhabited areas," writes ibtimes. co.uk.
"The last such list was created 25 years ago, and it has mostly named volcanoes that are available in easily accessible and developed countries. The latest list we compile overviews the whole world, including the less developed countries. We created this list to emphasize the importance of conducting volcanic observations and preparing people who are close to them properly, "said Zijlstra.

Meet the 10 most dangerous volcanoes in the world:
1. Ivo Jima, Japan
After Ivo Jim Island there is a real pulsating magma fortress. The University of Manchester emphasizes that "It's only a matter of time when the whole island will explode." Such a volcanic eruption would cause a devastating tsunami that could plunge southern Japan and the shores of China, including Shanghai and Hong Kong.
2. Hanoi, Nicaragua
This volcano is located just across Managua's capital, Nicaragua, which has more than 2 million inhabitants. In the case of this volcano, there is a possibility that the eruption would be underwater, which would result in not only lava eruption, but also huge "lake tsunami". The volcanic lava spitters every two years and the last such thing happened in this region exactly 2000 years ago.
3. Campei Flegrei, Italy
Located just outside of Naples, this volcano poses a greater threat to the city than the famous Vesuvius. Despite the fact that it goes much less than Vesuvius, Campi Flegrei hides much more force and strength in eruption.
4. Asia, Japan
The 1592-meter-long Asas is part of the main island of southern Kyushu. This volcano is one of the most active volcanoes in the country. It was last erupted in September 2015 at a height of 2 kilometers, spitting out a thick black smoke cloud.
5. Transmission Volcano Ring, Mexico
This ring formed in the central part of Mexico, where the peaks of the highest point, including Pico de Orizaba (5747 meters) and Popocatepetl (5452 meters), stretch out. These volcanoes pose a huge threat to the whole country, as adjacent to them are the most populated areas of the country, the tributary of them and the capital city of Mexico.
6. Gunung Agung, Indonesia
Gunung Agung or Agung Mountain is an active volcano and the highest point of the Indonesian island of Bali. The fire altitude is 3412 meters above sea level. This mountain is considered a sacred place and a god's house.
7. Cameroon Volcano, Cameroon
The height of this volcano is 4095 meters and is the highest peak in central Africa. Each year, a group of enthusiasts from all over the world come to the Cameroonian volcano and compete, which is likely to run off and descend from this huge mountain.
8. Taal volcano, Philippines
Taal is the most active and dangerous Filipino volcano, causing some particularly devastating eruptions. Since 1572, at least 6 of his eruptions have been reported to have claimed human lives. Another dangerous factor for this volcano is that it causes severe tsunamis in the crater lake.
9. Mayon, Philippines
The most famous active Philippine volcano is the Mayon, which is quite often erupting and causing horror to the Filipino people. More than 1,200 people were killed during the Mayon eruption in 1814.
10. Gunung Kelud, Indonesia
One of the active volcanoes of the island of East Java, Kelud, has a giant crater that formed the lake. During the Great Volcano eruption, more than 10,000 people were killed in 1586.
