In the human-living areas, volcanic eruptions could bring some dangers to human life, wealth and living.

Direct dangers: Explosive volcanic eruptions quickly eject from the crater a large number of solid materials, such as rock, magma, debris, and volcanic ash, which are hot and high-speed. These can burn and bury the nearby towns and life; the volcano spewed carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, fluorine, sulfur and other oxides and radioactive substances, which will seriously harm human health.

Indirect dangers: Volcanic eruptions might cause a series of geological disasters, including earthquakes, tsunamis, floods, mudslides, landslides, avalanches, gas and climate variations. Volcanic debris, ash, and heavy rain combine to form mud-rock flow to wash away roads, bridges, and flood nearby cities and villages;
