What are the disadvantages of living near a volcano?

When the volcano erupts it can do many things such as:

-Kill people

-Destroy crops and plantation

-Suffocate people from the ashes

Take Pompeii for example. When the volcano near Pompeii exploded, no one had had any idea that would happen! So therefore, when it did, no one was prepared for it. After the eruption, the city was covered in mud and ash. Scientists only found the bodies and remains of/in the city years and years later.

The ash from a volcano can suffocate people and the lava can burn people.

Volcanoes can also cause earthquakes.

But, volcanoes do provide a lot of good things, such as Geothermal heat, nutrients (from the ashes) that are good for the ground, and tourism. It is also beautiful to watch a volcano to explode from a distance away.

But is the earthquakes is very bad ? yes it is because is people how now when earthquakes start but lots of people go to die because earthquakes and lavas is very strong
