The Soufrière Hills volcano (soufrière is a French word meaning "sulfur outlet") is an active, complex stratovolcano. Locates on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. After a longtime of dormancy, the volcano became active in 1995 and stayed active till now. It effected more than half of the inhabited land of Montserrat and also destroyed it's capital; Plymouth. Which effected most of the population to flee away. The volcano is made of plagioclase ( a black mineral) , at a certain time of period its dome grows, as it collapse it creates pyroclastic clouds. After the eruptions the island became a disaster and the great biodiversity of the island and its tropical landscape transformed to a volcanic and deserted scene.
Natural problems is part of the Earth's process and nature tries to get along with the events, trying to find its own solution, but sometimes they can't survive against the strength of the process.
