Is a volcano a destructive or constructive process?

Answer 1

If you must choose between one of the two, 'destructive' is the best choice since a geyser eruption never 'constructs' anything. And some enormous eruption might 'destroy' its immediate surroundings.

In practice however, geysers are neither of the two. They hardly ever 'destroy' anything, being basically just natural fountains that start randomly or blow water and steam continuously, just like artificial fountains. The do however indicate the presence of volcanic activity in the very near vicinity. And such a volcanic eruption certainly would be labeled 'destructive'.

Answer 2

A volcano is considered both destructive and constructive. While the eruption of a volcano can cause destruction through lava flows, ash fall, and pyroclastic flows, it also contributes to the formation of new land through the deposition of volcanic material and the creation of new landforms.
