Why are continental volcanoes more likely to cause natural disaster?

There are two reasons. First, continental volcanoes are more likely than other volcanoes to be of the stratovolcano type. These volcanoes produce the largest, most explosive eruptions that pose the greatest risk to human lives and property. Second, since they are on the mainland, continental volcanoes are generally more likely to have people living near them. An eruption that occurs on an uninhabited island and does not affect anybody is not generally considered a disaster.


When are Volcanoes and earthquakes are likely to occur?

They are more likely to occur on places/countries that are on Tectonic plate boundaries. This is because a tectonic plate boundary is when earth is raised above the normal level causing the ground to shake. When the earth rises it can form small volcanoes that get bigger and it will erupt a lot after then. :D

In which area are volcanoes more likely to happen?

Volcanoes are more likely to happen along the boundaries of tectonic plates, such as the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean, where plates collide or separate, allowing magma to rise to the surface. This is where most of the Earth's volcanoes are located.
