Now I will search for “Volcano in Montserrat” GCSE and hopefully this search narrows the search down. I got 24,500 hits for searching for “Volcano in Montserrat”.

Site 1 =
This website is alright because it contains a lot of information about the island and on
trips around the island. The use of colour stands out, and links to other websites are useful too. Holidays are on the website for explorers to actually visit the volcano. The website tells you what is on the island, e.g. Hospitals. The website has a good application, you pick a letter and then the website will bring you to all the stuff to do with the island beginning with that letter, e.g. A – Accommodation, H – History. I would recommend the website who is interested in geography. Although, there is a lot of advertisements.
Site 2 =
This website is good for information on eruptions and the island around the volcano
because it is regularly updated and gives you a date and what event occurred on that date. (e.g. 6th June 1999 – The fifth eruption took place at 14:42.) It contains no links or stupid advertisements on the website which makes it a lot easier. If you look at the bottom of the website, it tells you where the information is from. The web tells you when it was last updated. Although it does need updated again, or else there is no more activity on the island.
Site 3 =
This website tells you that the Montserrat volcano is destroying the ozone layer because of all the emissions that the volcano is giving off. This scientist is studying this volcano and telling the world that it is destroying our world and it is still erupting today from the year 1995. The scientist has received $179,945 grant from the National Science Foundation for his three-year project. The website shows you a picture of the volcano and the man who has been carrying out the experiment. The website is good if you’re a scientist.

November 9, 1999
Six ash venting episodes or small explosions occurred between 29 October- 5 November 1999. Maximum ash cloud height was 10,000 to 12,000 feet. There were no new pyroclastic flow deposits for these events. The seismic network network recorded a total of 115 rockfall signals, 40 volcano-tectonic earthquakes, 71 hybrid and 13 long period earthquakes.
This information was summarized from the Smithsonian Institution's Preliminary Notices of Volcanic Activity.
November 5, 1999
On 26 and 27 October, the Soufriere Hills Volcano produced ash venting episodes, small explosions or dome collapse events. New pyroclastic flow deposits were observed in the Tar River Valley. The 26 October event created an ash cloud that rose ~15,000 feet.
This information was summarized from the Smithsonian Institution's Preliminary Notices of Volcanic Activity.
October 27, 1999
On 26 October, an ash cloud erupted from the Soufriere Hills Volcano.
This information was summarized from the Smithsonian Institution's Preliminary Notices of Volcanic Activity.
August 23, 1999
Week of August 13-20, 1999: Activity at volcano remained low. On August 20th, two minor volcano tectonic swarms were recorded under the volcanic edifice. 50 rockfalls and 84 volcano-tectonic earthquakes were recorded. Unstable masses sit above Gages, Tuitt's and Galway's. Small rockfalls are being produced in these areas.This information was summarized from the Smithsonian Institution's Preliminary Notice of Volcanic Activity.
