__Major hazards to humans in the vicinity of this volcano__: **They could end up dieing because the volcano is right around people houses and they cant out run it so they would end up being killed if they were to stay in there house.**

__Summary: You are the head of the USGS. WHat recommendations would you make to minimize the risk to the population__? **If I was the head of the USGS I would make many recommendations so that many more people would stay alive. The first thing I would do is to get lots of people to study the volcano so they can predict when it would happen. Then I would see how long till its next eruption is so that I can move the people in danger of the volcano to a new location. They would be taken care of and have a lot better chance of staying alive then in there old place. If that didn't work then I would get people to practice if there was a volcano so they can be ready when a real one hits, I would teacher them to get to higher ground and fast because the lava would flow down the volcano fast.**

Due Date for your wiki: April 26 Reflection:

Read the other wikipages. Select three volcanoes and tell me __why__ you chose them. What are the similarities (3) and difference(s) (at least 1) between your volcano and the three you chose? **Three other volcano that I picked to look at are Mt. St.Helens, Mt. Lamington and** **Mt.Krakatoa. There similarities are that they are all volcano's, they are all deadly and can exploed at any time,**
