Why do people still live dangerously near volcanoes?

Answer 1

People living near a dormant volcano may be unaware of the danger. A dormant volcano may become active at any point of timeand the people living near the volcano may not realize it is about to erupt.

Answer 2

Lava, poison gas, earthquakes, very hot temperatures. A person can die very easily living next to a volcano. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed by volcanoes. Krakatoa and Pompeii are two of the most deadly volcanoes in history. People do not want to live in a place that can kill them, such as living too near a volcano.

Answer 3

Living near a volcano is dangerous, because volcanoes can cause earthquakes, either severe or minor. The volcanoes can also erupt any moment, without warning. When it does erupt, it erupts hot magma(lava), ash, pumice, and also gives out poisonous gases. Volcanoes also can have gas leaks, which can kill animals, plants, and humans nearby.

Answer 4

Volcanoes are dangerous to people because:

1. Depending on how explosive the eruption is (which depends on the magma type), and depending on how close a city is to a volcano, the lava (which flows slowly) could burn and set things on fire.

2. The ash could block off the sun, destroying crops and food.

3. If the ash and gases released were breathed in, it could cause lung cancer.

4. Homes can be destroyed. Transportation like airplanes or cars can't be used because the ash would clog the engine and it would stop working.

5. The pyroclastic flow would kill people instantly (inside the flow is intense heat that would burn things alive)

Answer 5

mostly people live near extinct volcanoes but sometimes people live near volcanoes which have chances to erupt because places near volcanoes have high mineral deposit which are beneficial for thenselves

Answer 6

Because they think that it will no erupt and usly they do not stay there very long. They are also the first to know if it will erupt

Answer 7

While generally not considered as dangerous as active volcanoes, dormant volcanoes may still be prone to earthquakes and landslides.

Answer 8

people live dangerously near volcanoes for the good fruit and veg they get and like volcanoes are like a sponge and let the fields around it soft so its good for fruit and veg.
