Main Body
Role in explaining location of volcano:
(A) Volcanoes at plate boundary
by pacific ring of fire
contains over 90% of all volcanoes
(B) Volcanoes at continental - oceanic convergence
e.g., Andes Mountain & Atacama
& Rocky Mountains of America
Impacts in surrounding region
Positive:
(A) Volcanic soil - highly fertile
(B) Mineral resources
(C) Scientific study of earth's interior and volcanism
Negative:
(D) Environment pollution by sulfuron nitrogen oxides
(E) Volcanic eruptions & unhabilatable surrounding regions
Studying volcanic eruption in Hawaii and Indonesia can help better understanding.
Conclusion
Studying volcanic eruption in Hawaii and Indonesia can help better understanding.
