I think earthquakes are worse because they make a big area of destruction killing many people with no predictment.

So guys I think that volcanoes are more powerful because, when the volcano erupts

there is gas (poisonous gas) and the gas is really bad for your lungs you may get lung cancer and face the period death then the lava it is very hot it is still hot even after 1 year (I will also make a discussion about earthquakes) the hot lava may destroy anything in it's way like: living organisms we are livings so it may melt us down because of it's powerful force

I think that volcano's are more dangerous because they are always hot and hard to avoid but earthquakes happens 50 times a day and sometimes you don't even realize it happened it takes years or even decades for a really bad earthquake and earthquakes are like 10 seconds or 1 minute but volcanoes can go for minutes hours even days and you can get lung cancer and freeze because the ash blocks the sun. so that's why I think volcano eruptions are more dangerous

I think Volcanoes are worse than Earthquakes because a Volcanoes is more destructible because the ash can make the weather cooler, make people breathe hard because of the ash, it will cover home. Another example is when lava goes into neighborhoods and burns the house, and plants. Another example is a Volcanoes top can pop up and remove the top of the Volcanoes and grow a bigger top for the Volcanoes.

I think that volcano's are worse because. Earth quacks are strong a lot of the time but if they hit a small city with no buildings then it wont be to bad. also they can be strong and if it is underwater it can cause a tsunami. And also earthquakes cause volcanoes which then make them erouped and shoot out poisonous gas and extremely hot magma . Does earthquakes shoot out poisonous gas No, earthquakes shoot out lava no. But volcanoes do all that stuff. volcanoes range of distance you have to be just to survive also you don't need to touch lava of a volcano to die the gas will go on and kill you .In the text it says"as lava flows traveled they burned down anything in their path including plants and homes".

I think Volcanoes are worse because 700 homes were destroyed. When a volcano erupts the lava spreads burning everything in the lava's path but an earthquake just knows things over and that can be dangerous but when lava touches something it is gone. 57 people died from Mount St. Helen's eruption caused 1 billion dollars of damage.

Pyroclastic flows look like giant dirty clouds that sweep down the sides of the volcano and destroy evrything in their path.Another example is, Lahars move far too fast for anyone in their path to outrun them.

I think earthquakes cause more damage than volcanoes because you do not know when an earthquake is coming but you can see the sigh that a volcanoes will come. the text said that ''they can happen at any time of day or at night '' this is how I know that earthquakes are worse then a volcanoe and I think volcanoes are not as bad because ''57 people were killed in the eruption '' and in the earthquake story it seed 67 people were killed and 3,000 people were injured. and that is how I know earthquake are worse than a volcanoes

I think volcanic eruptions both sound bad but volcanoes are worse first for what we know under water could be hundreds of volcanoes and volcano,s can last longer next during earthquakes you can do what we do in tornado,s or guess stand in a door way to stay safe. mount Kilauea caused $800 million of damage during mount st. Helen,s eruption it was showing sines for 7 hole months so every one came bake home from being evacuation and earthquakes happen immediately volcano,s take a long time

Volcanic ash is made from crushed rock and can make people sick. The ash in the air can travel around the world. Blocking sunlight and making temperatures cooler for months. Eruptions also create an avalanche of hot volcanic debris, ash and gas that bulldozes everything in its path. Lava is very hot, sometimes more than 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and it glows red or white hot as it flows.

I picked. Earthquakes because it could cause different types of. Natural disasters like tsunamis and volcanoes. Like mount st helen's also earthquakes it could happen anytime.
