AN ACTIVE VOLCANO IS

00:08.000 --> 00:09.600 position:10% line:85% size:80%
CONSIDERED TO BE ONE THAT HAS

00:09.600 --> 00:11.000 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ERUPTED IN THE LAST FEW THOUSAND

HAS ERUPTED IN RECENT GEOLOGICAL

00:15.433 --> 00:17.533 position:10% line:85% size:80%

IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE AN

00:21.333 --> 00:22.700 position:10% line:85% size:80%
ERUPTION THAT SCIENTISTS THINK

00:22.700 --> 00:23.967 position:10% line:85% size:80%
IT'S UNLIKELY IT WILL EVER GO

00:23.967 --> 00:25.166 position:10% line:85% size:80%
