The advantages of living near an active volcano are: *It will bring more tourism, and more tourism jobs available; this will bring more money in the local economy through: airport tickets, tourism guides/companies, hotels, restaurants and local showbiz companies eg. circus, dance shows etc. *More people will come to see the beautiful landscape made by the pyroclastic (molten rocks) and mudflows, which harden overtime and make a gorgeous landscape for sightseeing. *Though, the ash that comes and shadows over the crops and villages and destroys them, when mudflows hit the crops and farms (and not ash); eventually it becomes a better growth soil for the plants and farmland. The Disadvantages of living near an active volcano are: *Transport and communication will be blocked; this will stop people getting out- or police and ambulance getting in, as the lava flows will cover and block the roads: communication with air patrol and outside help will be lost; as on the inside the roads are blocked for land transport. *Crops ruined: when a cloud of ash overshadows the town/city, the cloud will collapse and destroy: small building eg. houses; churches can descend and people could suffocate. *Expensive, valuable scientific equipment could be burnt or lost. *Completely finished building- which are fairly large eg. malls, offices, hotels etc: could be burnt down- this could cause a massive loss to profit and may take years to rebuild.
