NASA Photo Shows Russian Volcano Erupting

 NASA captured photographs of an active volcano in Klyuchevskaya on October 11'th around 12:37 PM.Several hours after the picture was taken, the volcano shot out a plume of ash to an altitude of 33,000 feet. Plumes of smoke can effect in breathing problems for Klyuchevskaya's local residents, and counter the other gases in the earth's atmosphere. Volcano's are important for heat, and for views, but they are highly dangerous when they erupt their 1,250 degree Celsius lava down the slopes endangering anything in it's wake. Though they have negative effects, they affect the people positively too. Hot springs need the underground heating of volcano's to warm the water. People have less crimes happen, because marauders are afraid of eruption, and some animals prefer volcanoes. A negative would be that volcanoes burn up oxygen  faster than any other land form on the planet. This reflects 2 themes of geography such as human environmental and place.
