Volcanic Hazards

With somewhere around 70 active and potentially active volcanoes to credit, the citizens of the United States are at a constant threat of volcanic hazards. Not many people out there seem to be concerned about these risks, and this is something which can be attributed to the widespread myths about volcanic eruptions. While most of these people believe that only those who live in the vicinity of a volcano are vulnerable to its hazards, the fact is that hazards like volcanic ash can also affect those who stay miles away from the site of eruption. That being said, knowing what are the most common and serious volcanic hazards becomes all the more important as it can help you determine whether you are vulnerable to these hazards.
