While volcanoes primarily pose immediate hazards to people living nearby, their effects can extend far beyond local areas. Ashfall, gas emissions, and climate impacts can affect air quality, agriculture, and water supplies over large distances. Additionally, volcanic eruptions can trigger tsunamis and landslides that threaten distant populations. Therefore, the hazards of volcanoes can reach individuals far from the eruption site.
Tourism close to volcanoes is popular because people are fascinated by the unique beauty and geological features of volcanic landscapes. Volcanoes can also provide opportunities for activities such as hiking, sightseeing, and even geothermal spa experiences. Some people are also drawn to the sense of adventure and the chance to witness the power of nature firsthand.
== == People have a history of building in stupid places - near dams, near volcanoes, on flood plains, on cliff edges, in tinder dry forests etc. With volcanoes there are just a few reasons: * There is no place else to live (applicable to small volcanic islands) * They have to since larger more aggressive inhabitants have taken over the prime real estate * There is some religious or superstitious rational * The soil near volcanos is good for agriculture * The volcano has not erupted for a long time and is thought to be dead == == == ==
The best thing about studying volcanoes for a living is the opportunity to better understand and potentially predict volcanic eruptions, which can save lives and property. The worst thing could be the physical danger of working in close proximity to active volcanoes and the unpredictable nature of volcanic activity.
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.
Hawai'i was formed from volcanoes. The shape of the islands (volcanic mountains) affects the weather. Volcanic activity causes eartquakes, eruptions on the Big Island cause it to continue to grow, cause fires, close roads. Gasses from the volcanoes can cause vog (volcanic smog) and volcanoes have produced fertile soil in Hawai'i.
the volcanoes erupting may look pretty
Volcanoes are also dangerous to aircraft flying near them.
the volcanoes are inactive
Because it may take many years.. or even centuries for the waste to decay. This means it could affect people living close by for a long time.
Well, the people who got too close were covered by ashes and passed away.

if people live close to active ones and they explode, then the humans can most probably die, like in pompey.

a lot of people living close to each other
A limitation of using your senses to determine the presence of a hazardous material is that some hazardous materials are hazardous at concentrations too low for your senses to detect. In addition, some materials are very apparent to your senses at concentrations that are very small fractions of the concentration at which they become hazardous. If you are close enough to sense hazardous materials, you may have already endangered yourself.
