Give two examples of ways one could die from a volcanic explosion 

1. by being buried under a landslide or a massive amounts of ash during catastrophic eruptions

 2. by suffocating on ash  

3. By being knocked on the head by rocks, known as volcanic bombs, hurled out of the crater

4. by burning to death in a pyroclastic flow

5.by drowning in a tsunami generated by the shock waves of a massive eruption

6. by enormous landslides created when a cone is built up too steeply or part of the volcano collapses or breaks off

7.  by being buried or swept away by a lahar

8. by dying of starvation when crops are destroyed by a blanket of ash
