They tell us that we need to be carefull, when there is a warning about a eruption. It also tellls us about the earth in many ways, such as: There is lava under the the land layer, there are many tectonic plates, and so on.

Volcanoes tell us a lot about the chemical composition of rock. They tell us what incredible force there is under the earth's crust.

They can be used to indicate were the earth has been hit by large astroids in the past.

The shockwave from an astroide can go through the "core" to the opposite side of the earth and there cause an eruption.

Volcanoes tell us more about the past than our future.

Volcanoes change the earth's surface by creating new land, destroying old vegetation, and some other dangerous stuff. Although volcanoes also create new landforms such as geysers and hot springs which are rarely dangerous. When a volcano explodes, it gives off volcanic ash which has lots of nutrients to grow plants as well.

Why do volcanoes cause the most change in landforms?

Because volcanoes are formed under the crusts of the earth and the pressure formed by the massive heat emmitted from the volcanoe causes the crust to weaken to an extent at which it becomes vulnerable to change. This change becomes significant due to the fact that the crusts within the Earth are so large that one small change can alter how it sustains the upper layers of the Earth and, therefore, cause a change in landforms.
