Section three
Why do people continue to live in area where volcanoes are found ?


Fertile soil

People choose to live there because after the eruption , the soil will be very fertile that will help them in farming . When the volcano
erupts , the particles released contains nutrients which enhances the soil fertility . People have to make a living , therefore needs to rely on particles that the volcano gives out during eruption , which will give fertile soil rich in nutrients and farm , getting their crops and sell , therefore they would rather risk their lives to live near a
volcano .


Hot water



It helps to heat up water . When people live near the volcano , the volcano is very hot and due to that , it would help to heat up water ,
in a way people dont need to use electricity to heat up water but could go collect water , therefore it is more environmental friendly .


Tourist attraction

People often gets interested at places
where volcanoes erupts ,therefore they
would spend money to travel all the way there and see the great view after the volcano has
erupted . When that happens , the locals will get to earn money by selling crops and other things . Tourist would always be interested and buy souveniers back home , by then , locals would definitely earn more money so they think it is worth it to live near a volcano though its dangerous .
