( lava flows, pyroclastic flows, ash falls, gas eruptions) and secondary hazards(lahars, jokulhlaup)

10. WHITEBOARD QUESTION

11. When a volcano erupts it can create many problems for the people living close by such as: -
Volcanic bombs and lava are blasted out from the cone damaging the surrounding area.
2. Millions of tonnes of lava engulf local villages and towns causing massive destruction and fires.
3. Damage to local farmland, trees and vineyards.
4. Local roads are blocked by lava flows.
5. Volcanic dust from the vent causes respiratory (breathing) problems.
6. Ash falls on buildings causing the roofs to collapse.
7. Electricity is cut-off to many local towns and villages.
8. Many deaths and injuries.
9. Many shops and businesses have to close, so people lose their jobs.
10. Water supplies, power lines, roads and bridges get badly damaged.
