Mount Agung on Bali in Indonesia is primed to erupt in a major way, following preliminary eruptions of ash which started a few days ago. Mudflows are being formed where the ash mixes with rainfall in the area, and runs down the slopes of the volcano.
It's been placed on the highest level of alert, and 100 000 people have been warned that they need to evacuate.
I've collated a few links for students to explore. It's very important that you follow these.
Earth Observatory is tracing the Sulphur Dioxide from the eruption and has some useful images.
Check out this list of deadliest eruptions too.
