The people died in Montserrat due to a volcanic eruption that occurred on the island in 1995. The eruption led to pyroclastic flows and ash fall, which caused destruction and casualties. Many residents were unable to evacuate in time, leading to a tragic loss of life.
no-one was injured !!
The eruption of the Soufrière Hills volcano in Montserrat between 1995 and 1997 caused the deaths of 19 people.
Montserrat is an island in the Caribbean. It is one of the Leeward islands and at the time of the famous eruption it had 12,000 inhabitants
The plates involved in the Montserrat eruption are the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. Montserrat is located along the boundary where these two plates meet. The eruption was caused by the subduction of the North American Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate, leading to volcanic activity on the island.

Yes, the eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat in 1995 was preceded by signs of increased volcanic activity, including earthquakes, gas emissions, and ground deformation. Scientists had been monitoring the volcano and had issued warnings about the potential for an eruption.
No. The term compostie volcano describes a kind of volcano, not a kind of volcanic eruption. The Soufrière Hills on Montserrat is indeed a composite volcano, however, whether it is erupting or not.
