Have you ever found yourself in the path of molten lava? Has the volcano you're climbing suddenly erupted and you don't know what to do? Well keep watching because Huw James has all you need to know.

The earth is built on tectonic plates that move around on the mantle. Sometimes these plates move around and come together to form mountain chains like the Himalayas, some rub together and set off earthquakes, and some like Mount Etna, interact and one plate goes underneath the other.

So here are our tips:

Listen out for a rumble and keep an eye on tremors

Keep a radio close so you can listen out for advance warnings

Protect yourself from volcanic ash. It is very nasty stuff

Do not get in your car as the ash will catch up with you, ruin your engine, and you will be stuck in the danger zone! Remember all those flights were cancelled when Eyjafjallajökull started erupting in 2010?

Keep an emergency supply of water to stay hydrated

And Good Luck!

Did you know Mount Etna erupted recently and it started raining rocks! http://www.geekosystem.com/raining-rocks-sicily/
