Germany Volcanoes

There are about four mountain ranges with approximately twenty-two mountains that pose risk of having volcanic activity (dispersed within each range) in Germany. When it comes to active volcanoes, there are about three: Kaiserstuhl, Laacher See, and Vogtland volcanic area. The Laacher See volcano is located in the Eifel range and is a very young and dormant volcano, but still poses a threat.

The current range that scientists predict most at risk is the Eifel range. This is located in western Germany. The last eruption from this area was approximately 11,000 years ago. In an article online, it is stated, "The experts are agreed that eruptions will occur in the Eifel again...It is probable that the Eifel is now at the beginning of a new phase of activity..." As always, scientists are studying the volcanoes to be prepared for an eruption, but predicting how soon one will occur is almost impossible due to the probability that one could erupt at any moment in time.

Germany has strived toward eliminating nuclear plants (mostly, they've strived to moving away from that energy source and have worked to stop building these plants). This effort is being made in preparation of WHEN a volcano erupts. They are working to reduce the amount of nuclear waste damage/explosions/etc. from wreaking havoc once a volcano explodes. It is not widely known that Germany has volcanoes so there is probably an extreme risk of ill-preparedness should there be an eruption. Germany has experienced ash cover from volcanic explosions in Iceland, so there is a knowledge base on emergency measures and actions to take should an eruption take place.
