Abstract
In many areas around the world volcanic explosions in ancient periods have carried damage and death to almost half a billion people volcanoes poses a threat present there are around 500 active volcanoes on Earth, and individual year and contain approximately 10 to 40 volcanic explosions. The volcanic eruption cause a dangerous effects on climate, environment including health of the unprotected person. The unfavorable effect of volcano depends upon the magma viscosity, distance from volcano and the concentration of gases. According to the data every year an average of 1000 people convert the victim of the volcanic eruption. In this people are not only destroyed by mudflows, pyroclastic flows and ash falls but also from food shortage after failures of crops for the reason that of volcanic explosions. This paper focuses on volcanic phenomena which provide the understanding of the specific health threats issues, connected with occurrence of volcano. KEYWORDS: Volcano, Impacts, Environment, Health Hazard
Introduction
The volcano name stated and originated from the roman word i.e. ‘Vulcan’, which means ‘a god of fire’ according to Roman tradition. The people promptly imagined a scenario of cone-shaped like mountain with flat vertical angles, and maybe snow enclosed with smoke ring and peak which increasing upward. The explanation is precise but it only related to startovolcano, which is also considered as a category of volcano. Although shape and size of volcano are vary in numerous manner from stratovolcano and particular volcanoes are made up of gentle and long slopes frequently enclosed with the soil which is fertile though particular one have absence of vertical assembly in its place of formation of a depression hundreds of yards profound and spreading over various miles. The sort of action accepted by volcano is openly designated by the volcanic structure shape.
The connection amongst volcano and individual is as ancient as the race of human. The volcanic eruptions is considered as the best influential demonstration forces of nature. The volcanic phenomenon is important for society today because of its large eruption impact on climate and society. The eruption from volcanic is sometimes a disastrously damaging force and significantly effect the variations of entire environment. During the world every individual year, approximately 50 volcanoes are found to be active directly above the level of sea and frightening belongings and lives of lots of people.
