Eruption
In general, the shape and structure of volcanoes (and the explosive threat they pose) is related to the type of magma that created them.
Volcanic eruptions can be predicted and prepared for.
Volcanologists (scientists who study volcanoes) assist areas to monitor volcanoes and plan strategies to reduce the impacts.
Look at the diagram on the right.
This video analyses many eruptions such as Montserrat and Etna and looks at several issues caused by eruptions.
