Which volcanoes are most active? by Maggie

I learned that the most active volcanoes are Kilauea in Hawaii. After that is Etna in in Italy and then Piton de la Fournaise on La R éunion Island. There is also Stromboli in Italy, Merapi in Indonesia, Erta Ale in Africa,  Unzen in Japan, Yasur in Tanna Island, Vahautu, Ambrym, and  Pacaya in Guatemala. I could even go on!  A fact about Kilauea is it has it's own magma plumbing system. The volcano that caused most damage was Yellowstone Super volcano. Yellowstone erupts roughly every 600,000 years. Yellowstone is in Wyoming, Canada. The Yellowstone is known as ''Super Volcano'' because it deposited more than 240 square cubic miles of ash and lava. The last eruption was 640,000 years ago."
