Benefits of Volcanic Eruptions Volcanic eruptions present various dangers to humans and to wildlife habitats. But volcanoes also provide benefits to humans and to the environment. These benefits include fertile soils, a renewable energy source, and construction materials.ey Concept The effects of volcanic eruptions can change human and wildlife habitats. â¢ Volcanic eruptions can cause the loss of human life and the devastation of wildlife habitats. â¢ Volcanic eruptions can cause the average global temperature of Earth to decrease.
Short-term prediction of volcanic eruptions involves monitoring the volcano to determine when magma is approaching the surface and monitoring for precursor events that often signal a forthcoming eruption. 1  Earthquakes-As magma moves toward the surface it usually deforms and fractures rock to generate earthquakes. Lava flows are produced on the surface, and these run like liquids down slope, along the lowest areas they can find. 2  If the magma emerges along a fracture, it results in a fissure eruption, often called a curtain of fire. 3  Lava flows produced by eruptions under water are called pillow lavas.
