Mudflows (lahars) can result from the rapid melting of ice at the top of a volcano and this can cause serious damage and death to places down slope. Volcanos can trigger shallow earthquakes that can result in damage to infrastructure of course.
They may erupt violently like Krakatoa in 1883, or just seep out lava like the Kilauea volcano. Formed as a result of plate tectonics, volcanic eruptions can result in the formation of mountains, craters, crater lakes, plateaus, and islands. How are Volcanoes a Result of Plate Tectonics? Earth is made of four concentric layers - inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.
