Question

Why are natural disasters along the Ring of Fire more likely to kill more people today than they were 100 years ago?

Answer 1

Answer:

2018 has seemed like a busy year for volcanoes. Mount Mayon in the Philippines spewed ash into the sky for over a month. The eruption of Mount Sinabung, in Indonesia, was seen from space and Guatemala’s Fuego volcano killed more than 100 people in June. Turns out, the amount of activity is pretty normal. Scientists say that on average 10-20 volcanoes are erupting at any given time. What’s more interesting is where they are situated.
