Volcanoes

Causes:
  • A volcano in eruption throws lava. This lava can make a tap that closes the volcano. If the volcano is coveerd, the pressure accumulates in the inner part. So the gases and ashes explode.
Consequences:
  • The village and towns near the volcano can be buried by the lava
  • Ashes and gases can poison water
  • Ashes are mortal for animals and vegetables
  • The eruption can alter the climateThe volcanos near the coastcan produce tsunamis
Prevention:
  • Don't build cities and towns near a volcano
  • You must have an emergency plan ( alarm systems, slopings roof, no wood, gas masks)
