the crater never gets plugged. This is the calculated risk that people take in order to live productive farming lives on the sides of volcanoes. The other main factor that is the cause for people living so close to volcanoes is geothermal energy. Heat from the earth’s crust is being converted into heat energy. In very cold countries with a high number of volcanoes this can therefore be very useful. For example in Iceland this method is used. The volcano Eldfield‚ Haemaey here has created many positive
