Volcanic hazard
Probability of a volcanic eruption or related geophysical event / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A volcanic hazard is the probability a volcanic eruption or related geophysical event will occur in a given geographic area and within a specified window of time. The risk that can be associated with a volcanic hazard depends on the proximity and vulnerability of an asset or a population of people near to where a volcanic event might occur.
