For thousands of years, people have operated farms at the bases of active volcanoes in spite of the risks. what might be the reason for this?

Answer 1

Hello There!

As well as the obvious negatives of volcanic eruptions, there are benefits too.
Volcanic eruptions can make the land very fertile.
Also, the lava contains many good minerals.
This makes it an ideal space for farming.
