Volcanic Hazards Primary Effects -lava flows -pyroclastic eruptions -poisonous gas emissions Secondary Effects -mudflows and debris avalanches -flooding (glacial outburst floods) -tsunamis -seismicity -atmospheric effects and climate change Volcanic Hazards along the Cascadia Subduction Zone Predicting Eruptions Monitoring the Movement of Magma -seismic studies -magnetic field changes -electrical resistivity Physical Anomalies and Precursor Phenomena -ground deformation -change in heat output -change in the composition of gases -local seismic activity
