What is the safest distance from an active volcano to live in?

A live volcano is simply called an active volcano.

Also known as an active volcano, it is a volcano which still possesses the ability to erupt.

about 10% of Earth's population lives in the vicinity of an active volcano

You cannot live in a volcano. For one, it is too hot if it is active, and two, a volcano can make a surprise attack at any moment.

If the volcano is not active and you don't fall too far, then yes.

Assuming it is an active volcano: Lava Mudslides Asphyxiation from volcanic ash

Yes people do all over the world and they are active.

Live; very likely to erupt.

No. The volcano is intermittently active, making it too dangerous and unstable for anyone to live there.

active- or live volcano is one that is erupting or has shown signs that it may erupt in the near future dormant- volcano to awaken in the future and become active extinct- or dead volcano is unlikely to erupt again

Don’t live under an active volcano. Yet, millions still do.

Because if the volcano explodes ash will fall out of the sky and make it hard to breath.

The safest place to live in the world is in the U.S.A

It probably wouldnâ??t be beneficial to live next to a fault line or a volcano. Either landmark may warn you if it will become active, but it also may not.

Teramo is NOT the safest place to live in Europe..

Vancouver B.c is the safest in Canada

Yes, and Yes, although I don't recommend the former, but many people live near dormant volcanos.

Hawaii is a string of active volcanoes but the volcanoes have more of a flow than an explosive eruption. Yellowstone National Park is a potentially explosive super volcano and people live near and visit it.

NYPD is one of the safest place to live in New York City.

they live on the mountains of Mexico

This is a somewhat "trick" question. Since all the Hawaiian islands were formed through volcanic activity, theoretically all Hawaiian residents live next to (or ON) a volcano. But if you mean active, the only active volcanos are on the Big Island (Hawaii itself) and the island's population was around 175,000 in 2008.

Yes because the farmers in mexico shoot them because they eat there crops and because the live near active volcanoes.

the safest place to live on earth is the United States of America because they hve goverment, so they have laws.

Because the ash from a volcano makes the slopes and surrounding area incredibly fertile, so crop growing there is a breeze. People live there for the farming.

It means to live very close to the volcano.
