Can anyone tell me why humans was so stupid as to move in next to a volcano in the first place? I have a geography task about it :D

IIRC, the soil can be more fertile near volcanos, from the upheavals and such, don't quite me on that though. :o

*shrugs* Strategic position? You could see approaching enemies from a long distance away off such a high vantage point (of course that's closer to History than Geography, but still...).

It's a geography project, but I spoke with the teacher and she said the only way I can do this task is too use the historical parts as well. I think I should write a few more stories of old volcanoes exploding and compare a few countries that lies near to one.

Well make sure you include Pompeii/Naples...
You could also mention that people don't believe a volcano will erupt during their lifetime, especially one like Vesuvius that hasn't erupted in a couple of thousand years.

True... I've mentioned pompeii, but I could write the story. I've writen about Mount Tambora (biggest eruption in history), Krakatau and Mount St. Helens.

I think I'll write that people move closer and closer to volcanoes because they think the goverment will warn them before an eruption.

There's also the volcano in the Canary Islands, if that erupts, it could cause a giant section of an island to fall into the sea causing a gigantic tsunami...

[QUOTE=Fiberfar]I think I'll write that people move closer and closer to volcanoes because they think the goverment will warn them before an eruption.[/QUOTE]

*nods* And they don't realise how quickly it can happen. If Vesuvius were to erupt again (or more likely when), it'd be almost impossible to raise an effective alarm.

Wow, depressing. :p

Not sure about that last bit. Fib. People know it is hard to predict.
I was in Lanzarote on holiday and they had a great big one in the 19th c. The land is still like the moon. Hardly even lichen. It is amazing
But the reason I mention it is it is on an island. Many are, I think. People live on islands for all sorts of reasons of defence and fishing and stuff. Maybe that is relevant?

I think that many volcano islands are there due to the volcano itself. The land is forced above sea level.

I forgot to mention the Yellowstone Caldera in Yellowstone National Park. The thing is a huge bomb.

Yeah, but I suppose Yellowstone erupting would be worse...

Your teacher might be impressed of you mention La Palma at least. ;)
