There are a number of causes. The most dangerous hazard from volcanoes are pyroclastic flows, which are hot, dense clouds of ash, rock, an gas that race down the sides of a volcano, burning everything they hit. These flows also carry incredible force capable of leveling even the strongest buildings. Falling ash from a volcano may also be very hot. It can get into the lungs and suffocate people. The weight may cause roofs to collapse. If the ash mixes with water either from rain or melting mountain ice it can form a mudflow called a lahar. A lahar moves like a flash flood but is as dense as concrete and can bury entire towns. Ash clouds from volcanoes may also produce lighting, which can kill people and start fires. Molten rock on the surface, called lava, is extremely hot and can easily start fires. Unlike pyroclastic flows, however, lava flows are usually slow-moving. Gasses from volcanoes are toxic and have killed people. In some cases the slopes of a volcano may give way and produce landslides. If the volcano is near water the landslides may trigger tsunamis.
Three people died in the Lassen Peak volcanic eruption in 1915. They were suffocated by toxic gases and ash during the eruption.
Around 15,000 people died in the Unzen eruption in 1792, which was caused by a combination of a volcanic eruption and resulting pyroclastic flow.
Mount St. Helens is most notorious for its major 1980 eruption, the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. Fifty-seven people were killed.
the goverment warns the people to evacuate the area
Approximately 900 people have died due to volcanic activity in the 21st century. The most deadly volcanic event of this century was the eruption of Mount Merapi in Indonesia in 2010, which claimed over 350 lives.

The deadliest volcanic eruption in history was in 1815 in Tambora, Indonesia. 92000 people died as a result of starvation because of this eruption.
about 600

0, no casulties has been reported.
many people aroumd 3000 234 were injured
there wasnt an eruption in 2008 if i sm not wrong.the most recent eruption in 2006.
There has never been an instance where a volcanic eruption has been prevented from occurring by human means.
the first volcanic eruption occured in pompeii when the volcano mount vesvius erupted and over 1000 people sufficated and died during it because of the ashes flooded the hold city of pompeii.
people die
Tell them to run...
Billions of people every day manage to struggle through not being in a volcanic eruption. I think you'll get by somehow.
