El volcán y el árbol

A volcano is a geological landform usually generated by the eruption through a planet's surface of magma, molten rock welling up from the planet's interior. Other forms of volcano include ice volcanoes (particularly on some moons of Jupiter, Saturn and Neptune) and mud volcanoes. On Earth, volcanoes tend to occur near the boundaries of crustal plates. Important exceptions exist in hotspot volcanoes, which occur at locations far from plate boundaries; hotspot volcanoes are also found elsewhere in the solar system, especially on its rocky planets and moons.

The name "volcano" is thought to derive from Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan, the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology. The study of volcanoes is called volcanology (sometimes spelled vulcanology).

De Concepción ontstond vroeg in het holoceen. Door voortdurende uitbarstingen bereikte de vulkaan haar huidige hoogte van 1610 meter. De vulkaan kende een zeer lange periode zonder erupties, maar op 8 december 1880 kwam het voor het eerst weer tot een uitbarsting. Deze uitbarsting was omvangrijk, en gedurende een jaar bleef de vulkaan actief. Andere uitbarstingen volgden in 1883, 1889, 1902, 1907, 1924. De meest recente uitbarsting vond plaats in 1957. Het natuurgeweld bij deze laatste uitbarsting was enorm, maar toch gaven maar weinig bewoners van het eiland gehoor aan de opdracht van de regering in Managua om het eiland te verlaten.

Der Name Ometepe stammt aus der Sprache der Azteken und ist zusammengesetzt aus den Begriffen ome (zwei) und tepeth (Hügel), die sich auf die beiden aktiven Vulkane Concepción (ca. 1700 m, letzter Ausbruch 1999) und Maderas (1394 m) beziehen, aus denen die Insel entstanden ist. Maderas ist zwar der kleinere Vulkan auf der Insel, bietet aber mit einem eindrucksvollen Wasserfall an seinen Hängen und einem Kratersee am Gipfel des Berges mehr Attraktionen. Eine Besonderheit der Insel ist die unterschiedliche Art von Sandstränden: zum einen begegnet man schwarzem Sand aus Vulkangestein, zum anderen kann man am Playa Santo Domingo den typischen Charakter karibischer Sandstrände genießen.
