Question

effect of volcanoes on people

Answer 1

Eruptions occurring close to human settlements may spill and destroy lives and property. People often have to be evacuated.

Fast-moving lava can kill people and falling ash can make it hard for them to breathe. They can also die from famine, fires and earthquakes which can be related to volcanoes. People can lose their possessions as volcanoes can destroy houses, roads and fields. Lava can kill plants and animals too.
