Many changes in the environment are possible when a volcano erupts. If it is under the sea, new islands may form over the hot spot. If on land, erupting volcanoes can cover the land with hot lava, destroying what it hits and even causing loss of life.

Depending on the type and severity of the erupt(s), hot toxic gases, molten lava, large rocks, fine dust and ashes are thown high into the air, or flow down the sides to cover, smother, burn and kill any life in its path.
