Lava Flow- a surge of viscous molten rock which can cause widespread damage to farmland and settlements as well as ruining landscapes when it solidifies. They can reach temperatures of 1200 degrees.
Lahar or Mudflow- When water is mixed with rock,debris and mud to form a sort of concrete mixture. These flow down from a volcano and into villages destroying settlements.
Pyroclastic Flow- Occur when a volcano erupts. They are fast moving currents of extremely hot gas. These are very deadly and can reach speeds of around 450 mph and reach temperatures of 1000 degrees. People die mostly of this.
Ash Clouds- They are poisonous, and cause havoc in transport. The ash from the volcano travels into the air affecting machinery and engines of airborne vehicles (air planes). It also creates pollution and is bad for the lungs of living things (humans or animals, and sometimes plants, even though they don't have lungs).
Earthquakes
- Buildings collapse
- Bridges Collapse and roads and railways get interrupted
- Power and communication lines come down.
- Gas and water mains fracture
- Disease is a common secondary problem as water supplies are contaminated
- Fire
- Rivers or Lakes may overflow causing flooding
- Landslides and avalanches
- Tsunami

Do other planets have volcanoes?
The planets other than Earth on which we have observed volcanoes are Venus and Mars. These planets are made of the same materials to Earth and formed by the same processes. Therefore, like Earth, they have hot interiors that can produce molten rock. Mars may have cooled enough that the volcanoes it has no longer erupt.
Where else can you find volcanoes other than earth?
you can only find volcanoes on the inner planets: that are Venus, mercury and mars
Can shield volcanoes be found on other planets other than earth?
Mars has the largest shield volcano in the Solar System.
Why are volcanoes present throughout the terrestrial planets?
The other terrestrial planets are made of the same materials as Earth and formed in the same way, which means they have hot interiors. While Venus and Mars probably lack plate tectonics, they appear to have volcanoes associated with hot spots, which account for some volcanoes on Earth as well.
What volcanoes can cause?
=Sliding plates that slide past each other==Sliding plates that slide past each other=
What is the difference of earth volcanoes to other planets volcanoes?
Most volcanoes on Earth are associated with boundaries of tectonic plates while those that we have seen on other planets are probably from hot spots. Earth's volcanoes also seem more prone to explosive eruptions, primarily due to the abundance of water on Earth.

Is there a volcanoes in the other planets?
Yes!

Are there mountains and volcanoes on other planets?
Yes there is.
Why are Earth's volcanoes different from those on most other planets?
Every planet has a different terrain and a different set of tectonic plates.

Can asteroids go in other planets?
They can't go "in" other planets, but they can land on other planets. Asteroid impacts can be minor, resulting in localized damage. They can also cause major damage, resulting in mass extinctions (in the case of Earth), large craters, magnetic anomalies, and varying crust thickness.
Are there volcanoes on other planets or moons in the solar system?
Yes Venuse
What planet has fire?
Only the Earth. No other planets are known to have free gaseous oxygen. Although Jupiter's moon Io does have some lovely sulphurous volcanoes....
