   Volcanic eruptions occur every day.   
      
   Overall, 44 volcanoes were in continuing eruption status as of 23   
   December 2024. An eruption marked as "continuing" does not always mean   
   persistent daily activity, but indicates at least intermittent eruptive   
   events without a break of 3 months or more. There are typically 40-50   
   continuing eruptions, and out of those generally around 20 will be   
   actively erupting on any particular day (though we do not keep detailed   
   statistics on daily activity). Additional annual eruption data is   
   available for recent years.

   You might consider that the biosphere is the least of your worries as a   
   human.   
      
   The greatest problem facing humans these days is the diminished supply   
   of potable water thanks to unfettered fracking and poisoning of ground   
   water.
