Yes. People sometime die in volcano eruptions, such as the eruptions of Mt. St. He lens in Washington state in 1980. and the city of Pompeii, which was buried under ash from the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. People are killed by the ash, the lava, the poison gas, the landslides, and earthquakes, and the hot temperatures that a volcanic eruption can have. Thousands of people were killed by tsunamis, (tidal waves), caused by the eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia in the Pacific Ocean.
