Much of the damage caused by Mount St Helens was blast damage from the initial explosion. This explosion was projected northward out of the side of the volcano, unlike other explosions, which have most of their force directed upward.
Most of Pinatubo's damage was caused by ashfall, which was exacerbated by heavy rain from Typhoon Yunya, which impacted the Philippines during the eruption.
The repair costs of the Montserrat eruption was $268,000.00. Between storm damage and volcanic eruptions, Montserrat averages 8,645.00 damage annually. In the last volcanic eruption 5,000 people were affected and 32 were killed.
Mount Pinatubo is a product of a subduction zone. Here a portion of the Pacific Plate is sliding under the Philippine Plate. Seawater is carried into the mantle where it alters them chemistry of the hot rocks, allowing some to melt. This magma then rises to the surface form volcanoes. Because of Mount Pinatubo is near the ring of fire, so the volcano is very dangerous and powerful.
The eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 was one of the largest volcanic eruptions of the 20th century. The eruption ejected massive amounts of ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which spread around the globe and had a profound impact on the Earth’s climate. Sulfur dioxide gas reacts with water vapor in the atmosphere to form tiny sulfuric acid droplets. These droplets reflect sunlight back into space, cooling the Earth’s surface. The eruption of Mount Pinatubo injected about 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, causing a temporary decrease in global temperatures of 0.5°C (0.9°F). The eruption also had a major impact on the local population. More than 800 people were killed, and tens of thousands were left homeless. The eruption destroyed more than 200 villages and caused billions of dollars in damage.
Yes, there was a lot of damage when Mt. Pinatubo erupted. In fact, we are still affect even today.
After a volcano eruption, the government quickly conducts rescue efforts, and provides medical care to any injures people. The government also needs to assess the damage, and study the details of the eruptions.
There's nothing on the Antarctic continent for a volcanic eruption to damage.
the answer is Puyehue.

It destroyed more that 5,000 homes Hope this helps! =)
It caused poeple to lose crop, livestock, and land. It caused about 1,000 following it last major eruption in 1949.
The worst volcanic eruption in U.S. history was the eruption of Mount St. Helens that occurred on May 18, 1980. It killed 57 people and caused more than $1 billion in damage.
The Toba eruption was massive. It was actually twice as big as Yellowstone's most recent super eruption and 12% bigger than Yellowstone'biggest super eruption, 2 million years ago. It is often called Yellowsone's "big sister." when it erupted it created a lake and wiped out 60% of the human population.
