Best Answer

Volcanoes can form new islands and expand land area (although it takes a while before the new land can be used for anything). The Hawaiian islands are all of volcanic origin for example.

Soil formed from erosion of volcanic materials such as ash and cinders tends to be rather fertile since it is loaded with minerals and other nutrients and holds water remarkably well.
