Select the three details from "Volcanoes: Avoid at All Costs!" that BEST show the dangers associated with living near volcanoes.

(12 Points)

"Buried underneath millions of tons of volcanic ash was the great city of Pompeii." (paragraph 1)

"The avalanche caused by Nevado del Ruiz's eruption covered Armero in mud, just as Mount Vesuvius had covered Pompeii in ash." (paragraph 3)

"Safety measures.... allow populations to be evacuated upon the earliest signs of a volcanic eruption, but that means abandoning their homes, transportation systems, farms, and electrical grids." (paragraph 4)

"Volcanic ash itself is a pollutant, even in eruptions that do not immediately damage the environment." (paragraph 6)

"The people of Pompeii, Armero, and countless other towns have shown us that when choosing a place to live, volcanoes should be avoided at all costs." (paragraph 8)
