- 1.1 The Restless Earth
- Volcanoes
- Iceland Eyjafjallajökull 2010
- The Primary Effects on people and the economy Sparsley populated near volcanoes, so zero deaths and injuries - like most eruptions in Iceland there were 800 familys that were evacuated during the eruption, worst travel disruption ever recorded due tot the second phase of the eruption (48% of all flights disrupted over a period of 8 days
- The Secondary Effects on people and the economy Iceland is one of the richest countries in the world(14th) due to volcano activity - heats the wate Geothermally (for free). "Volcano tourism" has increased, however, there is a cost of readying ffarms and farmlan due to the ash cover.
- Monserrat, Caribbean 1995 -1997
- The primary effects on people and the economy Large areas were covered in volcanic ash (the capital city PLYMOUTH was buried under 12m of ash and mud). 66% of the island homes were destroyed. 19 people died and 7 injured. Vegetation and farmland was destroyed so more people unemployed/hungry
- The secondary effects on people and teh economy. Fires destroyed many bulidings. tourists stayed away so it disrupted
