- Agriculture
Volcanic ash makes extremely fertile soil. Grape vines particularly grow extremely well in volcanic ash-soil, aside from other regular crops. The Ancient Romans realised this, which is the reason a lot of Roman vineyards are surrounded by volcanoes. Today, grapes grown in volcanic regions produce the best-rated wine on the globe.
Crops can grow very well in volcanic soil, even if water isn't so common!
- Material
Volcanic Tuff, Pozzolona, Ignimbrite, Obsidian, Volcanic Glass, Pumice and so on. These are different rock variations formed by volcanoes and lava. Pozzolona for example is even tougher than concrete, and was used in many official and royal buildings throughout the Roman and Greek Empires.
Pumice was, and still is today, used for personal hygiene.
There is archaeological evidence that prehistoric man used volcanic rock to produce stronger weapons and tools than standard stone.
- Geothermal Energy
Free, renewable, infinite energy and heat.
In Iceland, a quarter of the country's electricity is produced by harvesting geothermal energy from its many volcanoes.
It's also used to heat water for heating and hygiene.
the Vikings, Romans and Greeks in particular harvested geothermal heat from volcanoes, usually for public baths.
The Romans used geothermal heat to invent the worlds first central heating, by channelling the geothermal heat through complex Plumbing underneath houses to provide underfloor-heating (however that would mean the settlement has to be really close to the source otherwise the heated water would run cold again. City of Pompeii anyone?).
- Jobs
Volcanoes erupt and adventurers get lost in volcanic mountains. This provides jobs for local people, as specialist rescue experts would need to be on hand at all costs.
- Aesthetics
Volcanic mountains and volcanic islands are amongst some of the most beautiful places on Earth. They provide a peaceful, serene and relaxed scenery for all to enjoy (until it erupts of course).
Tahiti and Bora Bora, islands surrounded by volcanoes, are considered to be paradise locations.
- Tourism
Pretty much the same as Aesthetics. The stunning scenery attracts tourists. Tourists bring money. Volcano country gets rich.
- Science
Volcanoes help us understand how Earth was born, the stages which it developed through, the magnetic field and so on. Wherever there's an active volcano, a scientists facility will be nearby. Of course aside from contributing to science, the scientists can also predict when eruptions will occur, providing locals with enough time to evacuate.
The soil is rich with nutrients, therefore it is good for growing plantations
You may get bored :/
As far as I know, it is passive and it was bought by New York capitalists...the sulphurs of the mountain are going to be exploited.
The computer stinks
even though living buy a volcano is dangerous the people living there wil have frtile soil
it could erupt and kill you!
Fertile soil
You may get bored :/
ash from volcanos are said to benefit soil making it more fertile
what are 5 benefits of living in tenochtitlan
I think the benefits of living near japan is:first,the soil near mt.fuji is very fertile,suitable for farming.Second,mt.fuji has become a popular tourist attraction because of hot springs and the scenic beauty of mt.fuji,this brings a great amount of economic profit.Third,mining of some rare minerals are examples of industries making use of the natural resources in a volcanic area like mt.fuji.
living together for mutual benefits.
Living...
Only Whole Life policies provides living benefits .
As far as I know, it is passive and it was bought by New York capitalists...the sulphurs of the mountain are going to be exploited.
