Before you get fired up to see an active volcano, here’s what you should know
Yet, these casualties seem to have fueled curiosity rather than deterred tourism. Instead of steering clear of erupting volcanoes, sensation seekers are drawn to disaster areas—a trend expected to continue after the pandemic.Volcanic eruptions happen when there’s an increase in magma-static pressure or a shift in tectonic plates,.
