the surrounding soil can become very fertile.. :]
When a volcano erupts, a substance that looks like snow, called Volcaninc Ash, settles on the area. If lava travels to the area, when the lava cools, it hardens into igneous rock, or volcanic rock.
In 79 AD the city of Pompeii, Italy was buried by the volcano Mt. Vesuvius. The volcano buried 65 acres and killed 25,000 people. The gas and lava cloud moved at 450 MPH with 900 degrees. People's brains boiled in their heads it was so hot. Vesuvius is still active and today 3 million people live less than 10 miles from the volcano. The last eruption of the volcano was in 1943 and its slow moving lava buried a city near the volcano and killed 35 people. This is just one volcano.
Well, the area becomes mostly ashy, but a while after the ash clears away, it makes GREAT farm ground. Of course, during the eruption, the ash and stuff is flying, so everyone clears out for a while. A short time after the eruption, you can tell it happened, because of the smell and ash. But a while later, you wouldn't even know.
burns up all the organic stuff it touches and as it cools it makes rock
it makes places around the area dangerous and likely to have a
lot of magma underneath which might
lead to an explosion.
it can kill somebody or they can take serious damage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🙁☹😟😖😞😭😦😧😱
the sourounding soil can become feritle
it causes chaos
Volcanic eruptions have the power to completely alter the landscape in just a few seconds. An erupting volcano is capable of destroying settlements, wiping out vegetation, diverting river courses and creating entirely new land surfaces from hardening lava flows, landslides and rock avalanches. As well as forming volcanoes, red-hot magma within the earth's crust can create other landforms, such as hot springs and geysers. These are formed when magma deep within the mantle heats underground water.
An ex-wife ... lol Sorry, just couldn't resist ... ! _____________ Of the various natural things that can occur on earth without extra-terrestrial involvement, the loudest thing perhaps is the eruption of the caldera of a mega-volcano, or the eruption of a very large cone-producing volcano. Maybe louder still would be a collision with a very large comet or other body. I wouldn't like to be around in either case. Considering non-cataclysmic events, my guess would be: either the world's winds combined, or the world's surface water. If we could collect and concentrate the sound produced by either of these things, the loudness would be unexpected and phenomenal.
Not a hope. Even now, 135 years later, with all the scientific and engineering expertise we've accumulated since Krakatoa blew its top, if we had a few months' advance warning that such an explosion was imminent, about all we would be able to do is move a bunch of people out of harm's way and set up a lot of cameras, because nothing mankind is yet able to accomplish would alter such an immense natural cataclysm in the slightest. In 1883 we were still firmly in the age of steam power -- cobbling together 200 horsepower was about as impressive a feat of mechanical force as we could manage back then. Krakatoa simply dwarfed our capacities to effect change on the world. Its explosion is still at least four times more powerful than the most enormous nuclear explosion we've been able to achieve.
It's a super volcano. It's in the middle of one of the plates. People don't realize how intense this volcano because it doesn't have the steep slope, but it's the most dangerous volcano on earth.
Clearly the greatest environmental effect would be the lahar flows which would wash away towns and work sites in their path and bury the area in avalanche debris and mud. Previous debris flows filled river valleys to a depth of hundreds of feet near the volcano, and buried the land surface under many feet of mud and rock sixty miles downstream. A major lahar flow would significantly alter the course of rivers in the area and dump significant amounts of material - much of it toxic to aquatic life - into the ocean.

The volcanic activity can alter the weather patterns. Large explosive eruptions can coat areas over 1,000 miles away in a layer of fine ash. Ash at high altitudes can pose a risk to planes in flight.

To change how a landscape looks by doing something like building houses on a field, or cutting down trees or building a motorway through it. All of these things will make the landscape look different. A dramatic natural event, like a fire or earthquake or storm or volcanic eruption could also change a landscape.
No physical or chemical process can alter the radioactivity of the waste, so it will still be there whatever you do with it. If the volcano is active, when the next lava flow occurs the nuclear waste will be ejected with the volcanic matter, so it would be a very bad idea. The idea for long term waste disposal is to find somewhere very geologically stable where it will stay for thousands of years without any risk of returning to the earth's surface, just the opposite of the volcano's contents.

I want answer of this question: Q: what is the phenomenon produce by themixture of sulphur dioxide gas and rainwater? If the volcanic eruption is strong enough it will inject material into the stratosphere, more than 10 miles above the Earth's surface. Here, tiny particles called aerosols form when the volcano's sulfur dioxide combines with water vapor. Despite their size, these aerosols work to alter interactions between the atmosphere and sun, affecting climate patterns (from NASA ... http://www.nasa.gov/centers/goddard/news/topstory/2005/volcano_climate.html )
