Types
There are many different forms of volcanoes. The first is shield, like a round hump. The next is cinder cone, like a hill. It is the most widely known. The last is composite, made with multiple types of rocks. Materials thrust through the earth's crust form all volcanoes.
Damage
Volcanoes can devastate even the most well-reinforced buildings mankind can create. Probably one of the most Demoralizing eruptions would be the explosion of Mt. St. Helens. Volcanologists could predict that Mt. St. Helens was going to blow with hi-tech machines. Hundreds of people were anxious to see the explosion. People died when Helens blew a gigantic chunk out of the mountain, exposing the lava. The magma burst and flowed down the debris, which flew down the mountain at 155-188 miles per hour.
What Should I do?
If given the choice between Living near a volcano or an earthquake fault, I would live near the earthquake fault, since I would be able to rebuild after an earthquake, and plus, the volcano would cause the earthquake to happen. See how dangerous either one can be?
