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.
What causes volcanic eruptions? Quick Answer. Volcanic eruptions occur when magma builds up beneath the Earth's crust and forces its way to the surface. Natural vents in the crust allow magma passage to the surface, and eruptions occur when the magma that forms is less dense than the material above it, causing it to flow upward.
