Hazards of Volcanoes
    There are many hazards of volcanoes.  The hazards of volcanoes refers to the probability that a given area will be affected by a potentially destructive volcanic process.  The hazards can be a loss of a family member, property, job, ect.  An area next to the active volcano is potentially hazardous.  Some areas have higher probabilites of being affect by a destructive volcano.

                      Causes of eruption
     Volcanoes erupt all the time and some times you can not be perpared for them.  Volcanoes erupt deep within the Earth, it is so hot that some rocks slowly melt and become a thick flowing substance called magma.  Eventually, the magma pushes through the vents and fissures in the Earth' s surface. That's how an eruption occurs.  The magma that has erupted is called lava.  Explosive volcanic eruption can be deadly and very dangerous.

                  Signs that an eruptionis likely

    Many volcanoes will provide you with warning signs before the eruption actually happens.  If you are living near a volcano you may detect premonitory events before the eruption. Seimometers are used to locate and detect earthquakes associated with the rise of magma.  Another signal could be swelling in the ground.  It can be detected by using precison instruments and techiques.
