∙ 15y agoNo, otherwise there'd be no such thing as an inactive volcano. If volcanoes erupted all the time, there would be so much smoke in the atmosphere, that the polar ice caps would melt faster, and create harmful natural hazards, such as acid rain. The world's temperature would be changed, and breathing could be difficult in certain places on earth.
