They eventually give out harmful gases which may cause chocking and death in a certain range. The eruption then causes the main damage. It destroys structures, buildings etc. Most of all it takes away human lives. Labs around the volcanoes are set up in order to gather more information about it, i.e., whether it is a dormant or inactive volcano, and when it can erupt.

Is it True or false volcanic eruptions cause damage only when they are close to the craters rim?
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.
What do underwater volcanic eruptions cause?
Underwater eruptions cause tsunamis and cause lava to form and underwater ridge.
Can eruptions cause global cooling?
yes
What is the cause of most tsunami's?
Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
What type of magma that tends to cause explosive eruptions has a what?
High temperature
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
Were might volcano eruptions cause the most damage to people in Asia?
lots dude
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.

What do underwater volcanic eruptions cause?
Underwater eruptions cause tsunamis and cause lava to form and underwater ridge.
Does thin magma cause explosive eruptions?
No, quiet eruptions.
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.
Can eruptions cause global cooling?
yes
How can damage from a volcanic eruptions be minimsed?
A titanium levee surrounding the base of the volcano
What type of eruptions cause a cinder cone?
Explosive
Do both quiet and explosive eruptions cause craters?
YES
