GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Several hazards may affect the area around the volcano, such as lava flows, pyroclastic flows, lahars, jökulhlaups and landslides or debris avalanches. Volcanic activity also produces hazards that can affect areas far from the volcano, such as tephra or ash falls, releases of gas and tsunamis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that are powerfully destructive. People have died from volcanic blasts. Volcanic eruptions can result in additional threats to health, such as floods, mudslides, power outages, drinking water contamination, and wildfires.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hazards associated with earth processes (earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, avalanches, rock slides and rock falls, soil creep, subsidence, floods, frost heave, coastal hazards).

Detailed explanation-4: -Climate Hazards. Snow Avalanches. Coastal Hazards. Earthquakes. Landslides. Permafrost. Tsunamis. Volcanoes. More items

Detailed explanation-5: -Seismic hazards related to earthquakes, including ground rupture/faulting, liquefaction, strong motion, and tsunami. Landslides of all kinds, including seismically-triggered landslides, debris flows, mud flows, and rock falls. Mineral hazards such as asbestos, radon, and mercury. More items
