Mt. Unzen I choose Mt. Unzen because it could cause even more disaster in Japan. Similarities- Unzen is a stratovolcanoe and so is Mt. Pelee, my vocanoe killed a big group of people and Mt. Unzen was the causing behing a tsunami which killed a large group of people, and both volcanoes caused the destruction of a city. Differences-Unzen's most destructive eruption was much more recent 1991 while Pelee's most destructive eruption was in 1902.

Mt. Stromboli I choose Mt. Stromboli because it erupts so often. Similarities-eruptions rarely harm anybody, both had destructive eruptions in the early 1900s, and both are active volcanoes differences- Mt. Stromboli erupts very frequently every 2 to 30 minutes and Mt. pelle erupts unfrequently about every 30-80 years
