Read about what happened to the city after the volcanic eruption. As you read, Circle three long-term effects the volcanic eruption will have on the city.
The volcanic eruption produced a lot of lava. When the lava cooled, it formed rock, which can only be removed by blasting. The volcanic eruption also produced ash and debris. The ash and debris lay several meters deep over large areas of the city and prevented plants from growing. Much of the city became uninhabitable. It could take several years for vegetation to grow back in and around the city.
