Answer: During the twentieth century an estimated 78,100 people were killed by volcanic eruptions

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, an estimated of 78,100 people were killed by volcanic eruptions during the twentieth century.

The bigger eruptions were the eruptions of the Mount Pelee volcano with 33,000 casualties on May 8, 1902, and the eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano with 23,000 casualties on November 13, 1985.

The violent eruption of the Mount Pelee volcano left one single survivor in the town: a prisoner held in an underground cell.
