Disadvantages: Sea - during a volcanic eruption earthquakes happen, and tsunamis may be created. Also, if it is a volcanic island, the island may be destroyed, and there is no escape. Lava flow - these are very slow moving, but destructive as they cannot be stopped and they set fire to everything in their path.
Hey Mate!!
Here's ur answer:
Advantages
1) Volcanoes provide resources for energy extraction, also known as geothermal resources. This involves heat from the earth's crust is being converted to energy. The big advantages to this type of energy are that it is very clean and the resources are nearly inexhaustible.
2) It will bring more tourism, and more tourism jobs available; this will bring more money in the local economy through: airport tickets, tourism guides/companies, hotels, restaurants and local showbiz companies eg. circus, dance shows etc.
Disadvantages
1) Transport and communication will be blocked; this will stop people getting out- or police and ambulance getting in, as the lava flows will cover and block the roads: communication with air patrol and outside help will be lost; as on the inside the roads are blocked for land transport.
2) Lava flow - these are very slow moving, but destructive as they cannot be stopped and they set fire to everything in their path.
