Why are more people killed by earthquakes than volcanic eruption?
A number of reasons. There are far fewer major volcanic eruptions than there are earthquakes. Earthquakes have no warning. Most volcanos give warning signs before a major eruption. Earthquakes affect far larger areas, and those areas are more likely to have people living in them. Unless you are near a volcano, *and* in the path of a pyroclastic flow, a blast, or are two stupid to get out of the way of a lava flow, they are unlikely to kill you.

What happens to the number and intensity or small earthquakes just before an eruption?
Before a volcanic eruption, there is often an increase in the number and intensity of small earthquakes, a phenomenon known as volcanic seismicity. This occurs as magma rises towards the surface, causing pressure to build up and fractures to form in the surrounding rock. The increased seismic activity can serve as a warning sign of an impending eruption, indicating that the volcano is becoming more active. Monitoring these earthquakes helps volcanologists assess the likelihood and timing of an eruption.
