We can say that volcanoes do provide benefits to people living around it. For example, the soil around the volcano is very fertile due to the materials from the lava flowing down the volcano. This will greatly boost the yield of the crops and increase their income. Earth around the volcano also contain valuable minerals, resulting in extensive mining around the area. It will also attract tourism, such as Mount Fuji or Hawaii, where many people come to take a view of the volcano. Geothermal energy harnesses the internal heat of the volcano, creating a renewal source of energy, which is also environmentally-friendly. However, there are also many disadvantages and dangers of volcanoes. The visibility in the area is greatly decreased and the poisonous gases emitted from the volcano will affect the people's health greatly, and it might dissolve in the clouds to form acid rain. People may be injured or killed if it erupts, property may be destroyed and it will cause economic decline.
