Over the past few thousands of years, many people have been killed by volcanic eruptions. The most famous instance of human loss caused by a volcano was the destruction of the city of Pompei, which had been part of the Roman Empire. The explosion of the Krakatoa volcano was also notably destructive.

How many volcanoes erupted so far?

well , that is a good question ! About 1,300 has happened in the last 10,000 year. Most of these are shield volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are found under water or and form easily. three quarters ( 3/4 ) of volcanoes are shield volcanoes. SO if you subtract all of the shield volcanoes from the amount of volcanoes that have happened in the last 10,000 years it will come up to 6,000 eruptions in the last 10,000 years. This is not including under water or shield volcanoes. WELL, that's all . BYE ! (:
