The Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador has been active for centuries, with significant eruptions occurring in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The most notable eruptions, particularly from 1999 to 2006, resulted in some fatalities, but specific numbers vary. Overall, the volcanic activity has led to several deaths, displacements, and injuries primarily due to pyroclastic flows, ash falls, and related hazards. Estimates of fatalities directly caused by its eruptions are generally in the range of a few dozen.
Smallpox.
disease and famine were the greatest tragedies befalling NorthAmerican Indians.
gas set off by the Germans or probably sanitation issues in the hospitals
Since 1927, the most notable eruptions of Krakatoa occurred from 1927 to 1930 when the volcanic island of Anak Krakatoa emerged from the sea. This activity was characterized by intermittent eruptions, including a significant explosion in August 1930. More recently, Anak Krakatoa experienced a major eruption in December 2018, which resulted in a partial collapse of the volcano and triggered a deadly tsunami that affected nearby coastal areas in Indonesia. Subsequent eruptions have continued intermittently, contributing to the ongoing geological activity of the region.
In wikipedia it has the 10 most dangerous eruptions. Mt Tambora in Indonesia caused the most deaths. It erupted in 1815. Have a look at the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_eruptions#Ten_deadliest_volcanic_eruptions
The eruption of Cracatoa. Krakatau is an island volcano along the Indonesian coast and is not located in the U.S. Volcano deaths in the U.S have been very small. I do not know the answer to which caused to most deaths.
No. While some forest fires are caused by volcanic eruptions, most are caused either by lighting or humans.
The deadliest volcanic eruption in the world was the eruption of the Tambora volcano in 1812, It caused an estimated 92,000 deaths.
The worst eruption of Mount Unzen in 1792 caused over 15,000 deaths due to pyroclastic flows. It is considered one of the most deadly volcanic eruptions in Japan's history.
In most cases, neither. Most earthquakes are the result of plate tectonics and most volcanoes form from plate tectonics as well, but one does not usually cause the other. However, volcanoes can and do cause earthquakes, espcially if they are getting ready to erupt. On rarer occasions, earthquakes have been suspected of triggering volcanic eruptions.
Volcanic gases also destroy ozone. Mt. Pinatubo was one of the most violent eruptions that caused ozone depletion.

The Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has had several eruptions over the years, but the most notable eruption in 2018 did not directly cause any deaths. However, there have been instances in the past where volcanic activity, including Kilauea's eruptions, has resulted in fatalities due to hazards like lava flows, gas emissions, and landslides. Overall, while Kilauea poses significant risks, recent eruptions have not led to recorded deaths.
Indonesia has the most volcanic eruptions per year, as it lies on the Pacific Ring of Fire, a region prone to volcanic activity due to tectonic plate movements. Indonesia is home to numerous active volcanoes, making it a hotspot for volcanic eruptions.
Mount Etna has caused the deaths of around 70 people in its recorded history due to various eruptions and volcanic events. The most recent fatal eruption occurred in 1987 when lava flow overtook a group of scientists and tourists.
Undersea earthquakes or volcanic eruptions.
