Impact of

Volcanic
Eruptions on
Society

Here is where your presentation

begins
Volcanic Eruption
an eruption of molten
rock, hot rock fragments,
and hot gases through a
volcano, which is a vent in
a planets or satellite’s
crust. Volcanic eruptions
can cause disastrous loss
of life and property.

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the
smallest one in the Solar System—it’s only a bit
Eruptions on
larger than the Moon. It was named after a Roman

Human
Health
Human Health
Volcanic eruptions release hazardous gases,
such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which
can cause respiratory problems and other health
issues. Fine ash particles can also pose respiratory
risk and eye irritation. Prolonged exposure to
volcanic ash can lead to long term health problems

Infrastructure
Damage
Infrastructure
Damage
Volcanic eruptions can cause extensive
damage to infrastructure, including buildings ,
roads, and bridges. The weight of ash deposits can
weaken structures, and volcanic mud flows, can
destroy our very infrastructure in affected areas.
 03
Agriculture
and
Livelihoods
Agriculture and
Livelihoods
Volcanic ash can be both beneficial and
detrimental to agriculture. While volcanic ash
deposits can enrich soil with nutrients, thick ash
layers can suffocate crops and disrupt farming
activities. The destruction of farmland and livestock
can have long term economic consequences for
communities reliant on agriculture.
 04
Displacement
and
Migration
Displacement and
Migration
Volcanic eruptions can force communities to
evacuate due to immediate threat posed by lava
flows pyroclastic flows or volcanic gases. Displaced
populations often required temporary shelter, food,
and medical assistance. In some cases, community
may need to permanently relocate if the area
becomes uninhabitable.
 05
Economic
Impact
Economic Impact
The Economic repercussions of volcanic
eruptions can be substantial. Tourism, a significant
source of income for many volcanic regions, can be
severely affected due to safety concerns and damage
to natural attractions. Additionally, disruptions in
transportation, trade, and agricultural activities can
lead the economic downturns in affected areas.
 06
Environmental
Effects
Environmental Effects
Volcanic eruptions can have long-lasting
environmental impacts. The release of volcanic
gases and ash can contribute to air pollution and
climate change. The deposition of ash and chemicals
in water bodies can harm, aquatic life and
contaminate water supplies.
 ADVANTAGES

● FERTILE SOIL
VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS RELEASE MINERALS AND NUTRIENTS
FROM DEEP WITHIN THE EARTH, ENRICHING THE SOIL. THIS
LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF FERTILE SOIL THAT IS IDEAL
AGRICULTURE

● GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
VOLCANIC ACTIVITY CREATES GEOTHERMAL ENERGY
SOURCES. GEOTHERMAN ENERGY IS A RENEWABLE AND
CLEAN SOURCE OF POWER THAT CAN BE HARNESSED FOR
ELECTRICITY GENERATION AND HEATING
 TOURISM AND RECREATION

● VOLCANIC LANDSCAPE CAN ATTRACT AND

PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES SUCH AS,
HIKING, ROCK CLIMBING, AND VOLCANO
WATCHING. MANY PEOPLE FIND VOLCANOES
FASCINITATING AND ENJOY EXPLORING
VOLCANIC AREAS.
 DISADVANTAGES

● DESTRUCTION AND LOSS OF LIFE

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT DESTRUCTION

INCLUDING THE DESTRUCTION OF HOMES, INFRASTRUCTURE,
AND ECOSYSTEMS. THEY CAN ALSO LEAD TO THE LOSS OF
HUMAN LIVES AND DIVASTATING IMPACTS ON COMMUNITIES.
● ASHFALL AND AIR POLLUTION

VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS RELEASE ASH AND GASSES INTO

THE ATMOSPHERE, WHICH CAN CAUSE AIR POLLUTION
AND AFFECT AIR QUALITY. ASHFALL CAN ALSO DISRUPT
TRANSPORTATION, DAMAGE CROPS, AND POSE HEALTH
RISK TO HUMAN AND ANIMALS
 USES AND ADVANTAGES OF
ASHES 01
● FERTILIZER
WOOD ASHES CAN BE USED AS A NATURAL
FERTILIZER FOR PLANTS. THEY CONTAIN
ESSENTIAL NATRUIENTS LIKE POTASSIUM,
PHOSPHORUS, AND CALCIUM, WHICH CAN
ENRICH THE SOIL AND PROMOTE PLANT
GROWTH.
PEST CONTROL O2

● ASHES CAN ACT AS A NATURAL

PEST REPELLENT. SPRINKLING
WOOD ASHES AROUND PLANTS
CAN DETER CERTAIN PESTS, SUCH
AS SLUGS AND SNAILS, DUE TO
THEIR ABRASIVE TEXTURE.
USES AND ADVATAGES OF
LAVA 01
● MINERAL DEPOSITS
 LAHARS AND PYROCLASTIC FLOWS

● VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS CAN TRIGGER LAHARS(MUDFLOWS) AND

PYROCLASTIC FLOWS, WHICH ARE FAST-MOVING MIXTURES OF
HOT ASH, ROCKS, AND GAS. THESE FLOWS CAN BURY AND
DESTROY EVERYTHING IN THEIR PATH, POSING A SIGNIFICANT
THREAT TO NEARBY COMMUNITIES.
 CLIMATE EFFECTS
● LARGE VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS CAN RELEASE MASSIVE
AMOUNTS OF GASSES AND PARTICLES INTO THE ATMOSPHERE,
WHICH CAN HAVE SHORT-TERM AND LONG-TERM EFFECTS ON
THE CLIMATE. VOLCANIC AEROSOLS CAN BLOCK SUNLIGHT
AND CAUSE TEMPORARY COOLING OF THE EARTH’S SURFACE.
