Environmental Dangers/Benifits







Lace is created in the air when lava enters the ocean. Lace causes irritation in the eyes, nose, lungs, and throat. The volcanic fumes cause people to have headaches and fatigue along with limited visibility. Vog is also produced from the volcano. Vog is toxic and dangerous for humans. The lava from the volcano destroys the cities near Kilauea. Lava blocks roadways, kills and burns people, covers crops and homes, and takes down power lines. The ash that gets blow out of the volcano can turn into a huge mudslide if mixed with water that in itself does a ton of damage. Ash can also be for the good because it can help the soil be fertilized. The eruption of a volcano can also give off energy that people can use instead of using plants that give off a ton of pollution.
