The document summarizes the 1995-1996 eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. Key details include: - Montserrat is a British territory located in the Caribbean where the North and South American plates are pushing under the Caribbean plate, causing volcanic activity. - In 1995-1996, the volcano erupted, collapsing its magma dome and producing pyroclastic flows and phreatic explosions, forcing the evacuation of the island's people. - The eruption was caused by tectonic plate movement beneath the island, and resulted in ashfall, lava flows, and damage to the island's infrastructure over the following years.
