Answer 2

Hot springs, a good place to mine for many minerals, sulphur for example.

Cheap heat, and maybe no neighbours.

Answer 3

You have to direct this to the International ( U.S.A.) questions , California in paticular . Good heavy tasteful water , heavy with natural elements ( Volvic) , exciting to feel movement and possibly descend into the open fault , excellent field study areas , filled with interest for this answers board .

Answer 4

earthquake, you get free demolition on your house.

volcano, the ground around volcanos is actually quite fertile and good for growing crops

Answer 5

Top benefit is cheap real estate.

You'll also find that these areas are typically near the coast, or in prime locations, which is always good.

Answer 11

Are you for real. There ain;t any advantages unless you are suicidal

Answer 12

earthquake - means a volcano might be nearby

volcano - spews lava rich in minerals. This fertilizes the soil and makes agriculture very productive, unless the volcano erups of course. People living in river deltas experience the same, but the hazard is water, not fire. Bangladeesh and receintly Myramar are prime examples of this.

Answer 13

most people who do live there tend not to have much of a choice - they are forced to live there due to poor living conditions (so mainly in LEDCs)

However, there are some advantages.

Firstly, the land there is cheap and often free(possibly first-come first-serve)

Secondly, the land there is VERY fertile, which can help the people who are growing crops a lot

Thirdly, if an eruption has just occurred, you may be able to take advantage of geothermal energy (more advantageous with bigger communities staying there)

People often use this method: 'If the eruption has just occurred it probably won't happen again for another few years.'
