Have you recently tried to schedule a meeting with your coworkers and found it difficult to find a time when everyone is available? If this is the case, then you know how precious the time together can be and how important it is to have effective and efficient meetings. To put time spent in meetings into perspective, I often remind myself that while in a meeting, you are really using that time spent multiplied by the number of people in the room.
(plural active volcanos or active volcanoes). ( 1 geology) A volcano that has erupted in the last 10,000 years, not necessarily venting lava or gases now. 2  Link/Cite.
VOLCANOES. A volcano is simply an area where magma, or molten rock, from the earthâs mantle reaches the earthâs surface, becoming lava. Most volcanoes occur at plate boundaries, where two plates are moving away (diverging) or together (converging). A few volcanoes like the Hawaiian Islands form from a hot spot, or a weak spot in earthâs crust, where magma forces its way to the surface. Volcanic eruptions may be explosive (violent) or effusive (passive), depending on the lava chemistry (amounts of silica and dissolved gases).
