Potential risks due to volcanic hazards in the Seattle region

The region has a diverse culture and socially and economically with an estimated 2 million visits annually. Volcanoes are considered agents of change on earth. These dramatic and violent agents of change are capable of destroying cities, crippling transportation and other key infrastructures such as power grids through their ash, tephra, lahar (USGS. These violent eruptions have been associated with climatic changes, mass migration as well as complete destruction of lives and properties. It uncommon for volcanoes to erupt unexpectedly as active volcanoes start showing unrest for a long period before disaster strikes. Potential risk and complications resulting from volcano Usually, during eruptions, there is a lot of noise pollution as the disruptive events occur. In the event, a volcano erupts the deafening sound as the pressurized lava leaves the vents into the atmosphere is hazardous and can greatly affect the population leaving in the heavy population bases in the Seattle regions (Graff, 2016).

The volcanic ash and mineral dust contain silicon and oxygen. The highly abrasive and insoluble ash is made up of components of the earth crust ad mantle. Given its high temperature when generated, inhaling the highly concentrated volcanic ash particulate matter components is harmful and almost deadly. Seismic waves associated with the occurrence of volcanic activities have an equally direct and indirect negative impact on business in the Seattle region. The Seattle region has a complex system of roads with highways and interstate roads. In the event of a major not only is the transportation system rendered unsafe but also the communication resources in the region.
