false.

False. Volcanic eruptions can cause damage beyond the crater's rim. Lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ashfall, volcanic gases, and lahars (volcanic mudflows) can all pose hazards and cause damage far beyond the immediate vicinity of the volcano. The extent of damage depends on the size and intensity of the eruption, as well as topography and prevailing wind patterns.

Did volcanic eruptions cause craters on the Moon?
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
What do underwater volcanic eruptions cause?
Underwater eruptions cause tsunamis and cause lava to form and underwater ridge.
Are volcanic eruptions weather or climate related?
No, climate and weather do not cause volcanic eruptions. However weather affects the products produced by a volcanic eruption.
What is the cause of most tsunami's?
Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Can volcanic eruption and seismic tremors produce large mudflows and debris flows?
Yes. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause debris flows. Volcanic eruptions can mudflows called lahars.

What damage does Mt Erebus' eruptions cause?
There's nothing on the Antarctic continent for a volcanic eruption to damage.
How are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions the same?
they are the same because they all cause damage to the earth
Do both quiet and explosive eruptions cause craters?
YES
What do underwater volcanic eruptions cause?
Underwater eruptions cause tsunamis and cause lava to form and underwater ridge.
Are volcanic eruptions weather or climate related?
No, climate and weather do not cause volcanic eruptions. However weather affects the products produced by a volcanic eruption.
Why do volcanic eruptions result in so little propert damage?
Usually cities are distant from active volcanos. Therefore, when a volcano erupts, its magma cools and solidifies before reaching the city. But it will be wrong to conclude that all eruptions do not cause property damage as volcanic patterns are unpredictable and there may be several exceptions.
How are volcanic eruptions a danger to airplanes?
Volcanic ash can get in to airplane engines and cause them to fail.
What is the cause of most tsunami's?
Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
Why are some volcanic eruptions very destructive while others are not?
some volcanic eruptions are very destructive cause there would be no evidencethat it is going to erupt
Can volcanic eruption and seismic tremors produce large mudflows and debris flows?
Yes. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause debris flows. Volcanic eruptions can mudflows called lahars.
What is a disadvantage of volcanoes?
Volcanic eruptions can be very destructive and can threaten the lives of people living near them. Major eruptions can spread ash great distances, which can harm crops, damage machinery, and cause jet engines to fail in flight. Gasses released by large eruptions can cause climate shifts.
