First, volcanic eruptions can damage many properties.

This
is one of the biggest effects
of volcanoes, the heat from the volcano and the hot lava damages or destroys
everything on its part; whenever volcanic eruptions occur they cause damage
to both private and public properties. Second, loss of habitats is one of the
major effects when there is a volcanic eruption, the heat from the eruption and
the hot lava cause the destruction of the natural habitat of the species living
around the area as it kills every living thing nearby. The hot lava that flows out
of the volcano flows for a long distance before cooling down to form solid
rocks thereby taking over the natural habitat of some species and killing most
of them in the process. Third, lava and heat from volcanic eruptions may kill
many animals and plants  and whenever a volcanic eruption occurs, the ash
that rises from the fire also leads to death for the animals around the area
who inhale the poisonous gases it contains. Fourth, the destruction of vegetation
where agricultural fields are covered with layers of volcanic ash and dust making it
unsuitable for cultivation. Fifth is the deterioration of water quality which One of the
bizarre effects of volcanoes is that the ash and hot lava that emerge after an
eruption settles on enter into water bodies like; streams, ponds, lakes, rivers,
springs, etc. and pollute them; making them unfit for use by humans and
animals alike. The six effects of volcanoes eruptions is air pollution which one of
the major ways volcanoes and volcanic eruptions affect the environment;
whenever there is an eruption, large amounts of carbon dioxide, sulfur
dioxide, nitrogen, argon, methane, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, carbon
monoxide, ash, and aerosols( tiny powder-like particles) are released into the
atmosphere. These substances contaminate the air and make it difficult for
animals and humans to breathe as only a small quantity of oxygen will be in
the atmosphere and some of the gases released are poisonous; all these
factors contribute to the pollution of the air; air pollution is one of the biggest
environmental problems in the world now. Seventh, deforestation through forest fires,
volcanoes erupt the flowing hot lava sets fire to the forest areas around it, this
fire if not controlled especially during the dry season can burn down a large
expanse of forest thereby increasing the rate of deforestation. And lastly,
volanic eruption can cause tsunami, especially underwater volcanoes also
known as submarine tsunamis; when underwater volcanoes erupt they
displace large volumes of water and this sends wave ripples around the water
bodies which may build up to cause tsunamis. These waves destroy all the plant
and animal life .

To sum up volcano erupt destroy life and property. The hot lava flows together
with ash damaged landscape and destroys not only human beings but also
plant and animal life due to its heat and the poisonous gases in the atmosphere
which causes pollution resulting in health problems. If living organisms inhaled
volcanic ash, it can cause breathing problems and damage the lungs. The
resulting ash fall can lead to crop failure, animal death and deformity, and
human illness. Thus, there are many effects of volcanic eruptions on the
environment as well as wildlife, and humanity.

Smoking is mostly starts at young age because teenagers think that if


they start smoking they will be considered as mature, but of course they
are wrong and causing serious health risk for themselves. Smoking by
many is way to relax, but it comes with greater health risk for damaging
the brain.  Smoking is harmful to our health since it affects many aspects
of our body, including our heart, lung, and muscles. It can decrease your
physical endurance, makes you physical performance poorer, and higher
your risks of cancer, heart and respiratory diseases.
In drinking alcohol too much overtime can take affect serious on your
health. It may affects the brain soon and the liver. It results in stroke ,high
blood pressure etc. alcohol can definitely cause brain damage, it’s directly
neurotoxic and damages and kills brain cells, alcohol withdrawals can also
can brain damage, alcohol can also block your body’s ability to properly
absorb vitamins and nutrients which can lead to severe vitamin deficiency
that can cause brain damage.
Drug abuse and addiction can affect almost every system in your body.
You probably know that drugs affect feelings and moods, judgment,
decision making, learning, and memory. But they can also cause or worsen
other health problems—cancer; heart disease; lung disease; liver function;
mental disorders; and infectious diseases
In emotional abuse, it is a way to control by using emotions to
embarrass, shame, frighten, criticize, blame or manipulate another, while
physical abuse is intentionally causing injury or trauma to another person
by way of bodily contact.
Poor living conditions are associated with a wide range of health
conditions, including respiratory infections, asthma, lead poisoning,
injuries, and mental health. Lastly, poor personal attitudes is not good not
only for yourself but also for the other people in your surroundings. Toxic
attitudes can create toxic environment.
Coastal flooding can result from heavy rains due to cyclones or
tropical storms, causing sea water to flow towards inland.
Typhoon effects range from structural damage to trees,
vegetataion, flowoer, watercraft, and buildings to both immediate and
long-term impacts on human life and livelihood. Typhoons are major
storms that affect everything they come in contact with, from boats to
agriculture to human beings. People can be killed, injured, or lost
during typhoons. Flooding can cause people to drown, houses to be
completely destroyed, property to be swept away, and farms to lose all
of their crops to the winds and relentless rains. In animals, Typhoons
cause major flooding, which can drown animals and destroy their
natural environments. When smaller animals and food supplies
disappear or get killed, it affects larger animals because they can no
longer find enough food. Livestock and other domesticated animals
suffer when man-made shelters collapse, when their human
caretakers are unable to care for them, and when they are exposed for
long periods of time to violent winds and torrential rains. Lastly the
Plant life can easily be swept away by floods and severe winds. Even
trees cannot withstand the sheer force of a typhoon's strength
indefinitely. Excessive rain can cause plants to drown, and it also
causes soil erosion. Mudslides often take plants down with them,
ripping up their roots and killing the plant.

There are both positive and negative environmental effects of


flooding. The positive effect of floods to our environment is it can
distribute large amounts of water and suspended river sediment over
vast areas. In many areas, this sediment helps replenish valuable
topsoil components to agricultural lands and can keep the elevation of
a land mass above sea level. On the negative side, our environment
suffers when floods occur. It disrupts many people's lives each year
and personal tragedies due to flooding occur frequently. Flood is
mainly dirty water that carries waterborne diseases and possibly
chemicals that can affect the quality of soil in the environment. The
water supply in an area may get polluted from flood water resulting in
diseases and epidemic. Moreover, wildlife habitats can be destroyed
by flood,contaminated floodwater can pollute rivers, silt and sediment
can destroy crops on farms, trees can be uprooted by high-velocity
water flow and flooding from typhoons may destroy food stocks and
supplies and spread disease. Flooding brings a lot of diseases and
infections including military fever, pneumonic plague, dermatopathia
and dysentery.
