The deep valleys of Piton de la Fournaise play an important role in the activity of the volcano. Surface depressions serve as channels for ejection of lava and gases to the surface. As a result of a volcanic eruption, these valleys can be reshaped and rebuilt, creating new landscapes and forming new lava flows. The Piton de la Fournaise volcano has a rich history of eruptions. According to studies, the first known eruption of this volcano occurred about 530 thousand years ago. Over the past few centuries, the volcano has shown activity periodically, with the most significant eruptions in 1708, 1774, 1865 and 1977. Studying the activity of volcanoes is an important task for scientists. They seek to understand the mechanisms of eruptions and predict the possible consequences for the surrounding areas. Scientists use a variety of monitoring methods, including measuring seismic activity, studying gas emissions, and observing the behavior of lava flows. Professor John Stevenson, renowned volcanologist, commented on the current eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano: “This event is significant, as the volcano has been dormant for a long time. Studying this eruption will allow us to better understand the processes occurring inside the volcano and its potential hazard to surrounding areas.“ The channel presents such weather events and natural disasters as: 1.
