The environnements impacts of eruptions volcanics in an era by the poor exploitation of current technological: case of province of the North Kivu in DR Congo

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence; the impact on performance and the stress-generating problems among
Volcanism is one of the terrestrial phenomena naturel whose impact on the environment of our planet is more remarkable.
Let us recall that volcanism in the Virunga area, in the province of North Kivu in DR Congo, has its origin in the mechanism
of formation of mid-oceanic ridges meandering in the middle of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans with an extension in the
eastern part of the African continent.
Virunga volcanism is peculiar in three aspects: concentration of large volcanic edifices on a fairly small area; high frequency
of eruptive episodes and quasi-permanent lava lake activity.
The peculiarity of Virunga volcanism must generate, more than for other volcanoes, a more diversified range of
environmental impacts that we have identified in a non-exhaustive way below, following the lack of field investigations.
The identification of these impacts has led us to formulate some measures upstream of these eruptions in order to mitigate the
consequences of these eruptions and to encourage local populations to adapt to living with volcanoes.
