The advantages and disadvantages of volcanoes?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Advantage: Volcanic places attract the tourister because of its beautiful landscape made by the pyroclastic and mudflow.

Answer 3

Advantages- The soil around the volcano is fertile and rich, ideal for farming The heat from the volcano can provide energy called geothermal energy Volcanoes can attract tourists bringing money into the area.

Answer 5

Pros

Fertile soils

Beautiful scenery

Potential geothermal energy

Water from runoff - typically clean and plentiful

Skiing in the winter

Hiking in the summer

Forest activities (camping, exploring, hunting, fishing)

Biodiversity

tourism

Cons

Earthquakes

Eruptions

Quakes can cause property destruction if shifting occurs

Answer 6

Disadvantages: Land gets covered with boiling rock, poisonus gases flow from the volcano peak, huge amounts of ash cloak the hill sides, this can be metres thick and if it rains it will become a fast moving mudflow which will also bury land and people. Huge chunks of rock fly out and sometimes pyroclastic flows occur. Pyroclastic flows are huge avalanches of ash, gases and dust moving at hundreds of milles an hour at temperatures of upto 800 degrees celcius. Nothing will survive these.

Advantages: Errr... I can't think of any. Sorry.
