HELP!

Which do you think is potentially more dangerous: earthquakes or volcanoes? Why? Find an example of a specific earthquake or volcano and tell its story. Please include a picture.

I believe both are dangerous; you are able to lose homes and lives in earthquakes and volcanoes.




Earthquakes: A magnitude-7.9 quake in Sichuan province last year left almost 90,000 people dead or missing.









Volcanoes:



Damage Resulting from the Eruption of Mount St. Helens:
There were 57 people killed and many of their bodies have never been found, especially near the volcano where the debris was approximately 150 feet deep. Over 200 homes were destroyed along with 15 miles of railway and 185 miles of highway.
