When a volcano erupts violently it expels large amounts of ash, gas, and pumice. Some of this material will race down the sides of the volcano as hot avalanche-like masses called pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are the most dangerous product of volcanic eruptions; they are unsurvivably hot and carry enough force to level concrete buildings. If ash mixes with a large amount of water it can form deadly mudflows called lahars that can bury entire towns.

How might a violently volcano cause great destruction?
its a volcano so a volcano has lava and it could burn everything i think
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.
What disasters can an erupting volcano cause?
An erupting volcano and imply plate movement, and thus an earthquake. With earthquakes also come tsunamis. By itself, volcanoes can cause ash-distribution, where ash is so concentrated in the air it is impossible to fly/see the sun. This hurts airlines as well as farmers. Such a thing happened recently in London, England.
What cause the Minoan civilization destruction?
Probably the eruption of the volcano Thera, and the resulting tsunami.
The surface of the earth moves violently in an what?
The surface of the earth moves violently in an earthquake. This occurs when there is a sudden release of energy in the earths crust. Anything from a volcano to a tectonic plate shift can cause an earthquake.

How much destruction can a volcano cause?
a lot
Can earthquakes occur on the coast and by trenches?
Yes, depending whether the main cause was the volcano erupting.
What causes the destruction of the corals?
It cause by the volcano erupt

What can a erupting volcano cause?
1.Death 2.Bad things 3.Buring things and thats it
How do plate tectonics cause the volcano to erupt?
they start mocking the volcano until he gets very mad at them, so pukes blood at them very violently

What are the hazards of an erupting volcano?
The hazards of a volcano can be quite serious. For example, the lava which is extremely hot and can burn you to death. The volcanic ash goes into your lungs when you breath in and when a volcano erupts, it may cause earthquakes. I hope this answer helps!!!

What volcanoes can caues to the humans like ash and gas?
An historically example of the destruction that a volcano can cause is when an erupting Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. brought about the total destruction of Pompeii. There are so many examples worldwide: currently, in November and December 2017, is the possible eruption of Mount Agung, in Bali. All volcanic eruptions have the potential of causing death due to very hot gases that can travel at high speed down the sides of the volcano, and ash and lava flows causing death and destruction of property.
