MODULE 2 - SPACE SCIENCELESSON 2 TASK 11. Why do people live close to volcanoes?Answer; A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth that allows hot lava, volcano ash and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. Living near a volcano are both beneficial and perilous but people often live close to a volcano for a lot of reasons. One of its rationale is that the soil near an active volcano are often rich in mineral deposits and provides excellent farming opportunities. Volcanic deposits are enriched in elements such as magnesium and potassium. When volcanic rocks and ash weathers, these elements are release, producing extremely fertile soil. Secondly, since many people visits volcanoes every year, jobs often pop up in nearby hotels, restaurants, gift shops and as tour guides. And another reason to consider is that some people simply do not have financial resources to move.2.
