Question

what damages are caused due to volcanic eruptions​

Answer 1

Answer:

damage caused by volcanic eruptions are listed below:

· Contamination of Drinking Water:

· Contamination of surface drinking water sources due to deposit of ash, the effect of gases or toxic substances, or animal cadavers near intakes or in open water canals;

· Contamination of ground water is relatively unlikely, unless the ashfalls are very extensive and/or contain high levels of contaminants, or if they enter well openings (particularly those without protective coverings), thereby polluting stored water;

· Filters or water treatment plants can be contaminated by ashfall in settling tanks, flocculation tanks, or filters;

· Contamination of open tanks or reservoirs.

· Damage to Pipelines, Partially Buried Tanks and Other Installations. Lava flows, if abundant and with enough erosion capacity, can cause damage even in buried installations such as:

• · Drinking or waste water pipes. Pipes, chambers, and valves can be unearthed, displaced, or crushed;
• · Semi-buried tanks or reservoirs can be partially or totally destroyed.

Answer 2

Volcanic activity and volcanic eruption is usually triggered by alterations of tectonic plates, resulting in landslides or earthquakes. Volcanic eruptions can be extremely damaging to the environment, particularly because of a number of toxic gases possibly present in pyroclastic material.
