It comes from the Roman god Vulcan, the god of fire Ancient Romans believed Vulcan lived under the island of Vulcano It was a volcanic island that continued to erupt into the late 1800s Though Vulcano may not have erupted for centuries, many other volcanoes still In fact, on January 11, 2013, four simultaneous volcanic eruptions were recorded on the Kamchatka Peninsula! But how volcanoes affect people? 6/12 Death and destruction are the two main negative effects of volcanoes Lava flows can destroy houses, buildings, plants, and wildlife habitats Mixtures o f hot gas and ash can travel up to 150 km/h and kill anything in their path Heavy volcanic ash can make it hard for people to breathe and can cause houses to collapse Moreover, volcanic ash can damage jet engines In 2010, thousands of people were stuck in airports for weeks when a volcanic eruption in Iceland produced a giant ash cloud The negative effects are obvious, but you may be surprised to learn that there are positive effects as well With so many negative effects, why would anyone want to live near a volcano? One reason is that volcanoes can be major tourist attractions For example, people travel from all over the world to see Mount Vesuvius in Italy Jobs and money have been generated as a result Volcanic eruptions can also be beneficial for farming The ash produced by volcanic eruptions often contains minerals and acts as a natural fertilizer For example, volcanic activity near'the Brazilian plateau has enabled the soil to be perfect for coffee production Another benefit of volcanoes is thermal energy The steam produced by volcanic heat is utilized to create electricity by governments In fact, more than 90% o f homes in Iceland are heated this way Thanks to science and technology, people have learned to take advantage of the benefits that volcanoes offer Regardless o f the positive effects of volcanoes, though, people should always be aware of the deadly and destructive dangers that volcanoes pose What is the passage mainly about?
