Volcanoes can have both positive and negative effects on soil. While volcanic eruptions can enrich the soil with minerals and nutrients, they can also cause soil degradation and infertility due to the deposition of ash and lava. The extent of the impact depends on the proximity to the volcano and the type of eruption.
