What effect did mount pelee do on land and to people?

Answer 1

- 17 boats of St.Pierre harbor destroyed/ 22 boats caught fire

- 29,000 inhabitants killed in the whole island except 2

- pyroclastic flows produced sometimes until July, 1905

- statue weighing 3 tons moved 16 meters

- 1 meter thick masonry walls blown down

Answer 2

When Mt Pelee erupted in 1902, it caused massive damage.

Firstly, a pyroclastic cloud (that is, a cloud made up of superheated steam and volcanic gases and dust) rolled down the mountain and covered the city of St Pierre which lay about four kilometres away. The effect was to instantly ignite anything and everything it touched that was combustible. After this, there was a half-hour downpour of muddy rain mixed with ashes.

Ultimately, of a population of around 29,000 only two survived. One was a prisoner who was held in an underground cell in the town's jail (and who was later pardoned), and a man who lived at the edge of the city.

In August 1902, about 2,000 people were killed when a lava flow from Mt Pelee struck the village of Morne Rouge.

Answer 3

well firstly, st Pierre, a close village was totally wiped out by the eruption and 30 000 people died instantly due to pyroclastic flow.

St Pierre has never been restored and there is still evidence of remains that show the significant volcano's largest eruption occurring in1902. Instead tiny villages have been built on top of the used to be St Pierre.

Not as many people live there now either!
