Were man made structures affected by the eruption of mount Pinatubo?
Yes, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 caused significant damage to man-made structures in the surrounding areas. Ash fall and lahars (mudflows) resulting from the eruption destroyed buildings, roads, crops, and infrastructure, leading to widespread economic and social disruption.
What is the effects of the mount Pinatubo in 1991?
The negative outcomes of the eruption were that it made the soil verynon healthy, it shortened water lines inn the Philippines, etc.. i lived in the philippines druing this eruption and lived through it so i know alot about it (:

What are 2 ways that you can tell a volcano is about to erupt?
Each volcano is its own entity but broadly they can offer a range of symptoms of imminent eruption;Ground deformation - the swelling magma chamber creates a bulge in the volcano - made famous by the Mt St Helens eruption where a parasitic vent on the flank made the volcano side get progressively steeper until the land mass slumped. Laser leveling allows this type of change to be continuously monitored such as around Mt EtnaLocal seismic activity - caused by magma filling the magma chamber inside the volcano, the molten rock moving underground triggers tell tale tiny earthquakes - Mt Pinatubo 1991 was initially surveyed by this technique by the USGSGaseous emissions - typically just prior to an eruption the key indicator is an increase in then decrease in Sulphur emissions - usually analysed by aerial spectrometry - see the Pinatubo case study.
How did the eruption of mount Pinatubo effect people and the environment?
The eruption of Pinatubo severely hampered the economic development of the surrounding areas. Extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure cost billions of pesos to repair, and further costs were incurred in constructing dikes and dams to control the post-eruption lahars. In total, 364 communities and 2.1 million people were affected by the eruption, with livelihoods and houses being damaged or destroyed. More than 8,000 houses were completely destroyed, and a further 73,000 were damaged. In addition to the severe damage sustained by these communities, roads and communications were damaged or destroyed by pyroclastic flows and lahar throughout the areas surrounding the volcanoes. Total losses in 1991 and 1992 alone were estimated at 10.6 and 1.2 billion pesos respectively, including damage to pubolic infrastructure estimated at 3.8 billion pesos.[17] Many reforestation projects were destroyed in the eruption, with a total area of 150 square kilometres (37,000 acres) valued at 125 million pesos destroyed.Agriculture was heavily disrupted, with 800 square kilometres (200,000 acres) of rice-growing farmland destroyed, and almost 800,000 head of livestock andpoultry killed. The cost to agriculture of eruption effects was estimated to be 1.5 billion pesos.

Educationfor thousands of children was seriously disrupted by the destruction of schools in the eruption. The gross regional domestic product of the Pinatubo area accounted for about 10% of the total Philippine gross domestic product. The GRDP had been growing at 5% annually before the eruption, but fell by more than 3% from 1990 to 1991.

Is Mt Paricutin a composite shield or cinder core volcano?
Mount Parícutin is a cinder cone volcano, not a composite shield volcano. It formed through a single eruption in 1943 and is made up mainly of pyroclastic material such as ash, cinders, and lava flows, typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
