The dangers of volcanoes is that as you know, lava can kill people since its extremely hot. Also, the ash can cause breathing problems, and it can stay in your lungs for a very long time. Volcanoes can also give out toxic/poisonous gas.
and it can kill you
The dangers of an erupting volcano include lava flows that can destroy everything in their path, pyroclastic flows that are fast-moving, deadly clouds of hot gas, ashfall that can disrupt air travel and damage crops, and lahars, which are deadly mudflows triggered by volcanic activity. Ash and gases released during an eruption can also have health impacts on nearby populations.
The hot ash means blinding if you get in your eyes
the pumice is ground to a fine dust, if you breathe it in it turns into a liquid cement and you choke to death
3rd degree burns
crushed by land slides
tsunamis
pyroclastic flow - a mixture of lava and super-heated gas (reaching temperatures of up to 1000 °C / 1,830 °F). If inhaled can kill you in 2 breaths.
just to name a few
the dangers of an erupting volcano are that the lava or magma can burn and destroy cities and towns and the ash can pollute the atmosphere and delay air travel it can also pollute water as well as kill animals and plants
- Lava flows
- Pyroclastic flows (and surges)
- Ash (tephra)
- Lahars
- Gas emissions
- Landslides and debris avalanches
- Volcanic earthquakes
- Tsunamis
Loss of life, loss of property, from superheated gases, and molten lava flowing down the side of the volcano, and spreading out into the surrounding countryside. Another danger is from thick clouds of smothering ash, as happened in the city of Pompeii. Also, huge lava bombs thrown high into the sky to fall miles away.
Volcanoes can be dangerous by their hazards such as falling ash and the flow of lava. They are less dangerous than earthquakes and hurricanes.
