Volcanoes and People
How do volcanoes affect the people who live near them?

Choose a volcano or volcanic region and one topic to research about how people nearby are affected.  For example, you could decide to find out how people have benefited from living near a volcano or the way people show volcanoes in their art and stories. As you do your research, take notes on the information you find.
