Answer 1

Answer:

Trees near it is the correct answer of this Question

Answer 2

The damage of houses and trees is not an effect of a volcanic eruption.

• Generally, 5km is the 'safe' distance from an active volcano.
• But still, there is a chance of damage due to ash, tephra, lahar, and floods after the eruption.
• Thus living near a volcano will be at one's own risk.
• Still, people choose to live in such regions due to benefits like;

          1. Improving fertility of soils due to the volcanic ashes and rocks.

          2. Abundant geothermal energy and thus free electricity.

          3. Flourishing local economy due to tourist influx.

          4. Availability of rich hot springs.

          5. Affordable livelihood and increasing job opportunities.
