IMPACT OF A VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN A LEDC AND MEDC A MEDC is a more economically developed country. It has the money to spend on improving the country’s establishment and therefore it is more likely to have the resources and technology to help decrease the damage from a volcanic eruption. Using the technology‚ they can also predict when a volcano is probably going to erupt. In a MEDC‚ the people are more educated and know what to do in a situation like a volcanic eruption.

Bridges make the situation far more worse cars and trees would get stuck under
