First of all we need to know how a volcano erupts and what effects it has.

How a volcano errupts:




 * //﻿ //**First of all the volcano creates magma. If you didn't know, magma is made out of rock now melted by the very intense heat. Very slowly, the magma goes through the ciculation, then to the vent. When its gradully rising higher, the magma is getting hotter and hotter. Then it turns in to lava. Lava is very simaller to magma, but it is much more hotter. Ash and rocks in side the volcano are collected up on the way. Then after a while, the volcano errupts.It blasts lava and ash everywhere and rocks tumble to the ground. The clouds of dust are very thick. The lava can move slowly down the volcano, or it can move realy fast. It just depends on the enviroment it errupts. The lava burns every thing in its way. Leaves, houses, people. the lava can cool fast but sometimes it takes a while to cool down from the intense heat.

What effect do volcanos cause?

PEOPLE: Hundreds and sometimes even thousands of children,babies, and adults die every year from volcanoes. PLANT LIFE: Although volcanoes furtilies the ground & soil, it would of wiped out too many plants already. It also would effect farmers and food sorces too. <span style="color: #dd1d1d; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">SHELTER: Volcanoes wipe out shelter in a second. It would cost a lot of money to rebuild shelter and get the material. <span style="color: #dd1d1d; font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">WEATHER: Surprisingly,volcanoes can cause thunder storms,rain,lightning, and even hail!
