ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF VOLCANIC ACTIVITIES ON HUMAN AND ENVIRONMENT
The volcano is ruptured on the crust of planetary mass such as earth, which allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from the magma chamber. Volcanic activities have spread all over the world and can happen both on land and beneath the ocean. Volcanic activities are especially active in convergent and divergent zones where tectonic plates move away or toward each other. Examples of volcanoes active in 2018 include the Hawaiian volcanic eruption and Oldonyo Lengai mountain in Tanzania. A volcanic eruption can have both positive and negative effects on human activities and life in general. Here below are examples of some positive and negative effects of volcanic activities (volcanoes). Positive effects of volcanic activities. Volcanic rocks after weathering result in the formation of very fertile soils and hence encourage agriculture. Volcanoes help in the formation of valuable minerals like diamond, gold , silver. Volcanoes lead to the formation of geysers whic...
