Are volcanoes important in any way |
Answer:
Yes, they are indeed. The four ways are as under:
- Firstly, Volcano eruption releases CO2, which according to scientists helps in maintaining the average temperature of Earth. Otherwise the Earth's temperature would have been very low.
- The lava which comes out of a volcano cools to form rocks and is a rich storehouse of many important minerals.
- They volcanoes might have played a key role during the start of life on planet Earth.
- Volcanoes can be used to produce geothermal energy which is a clean energy source (that is, it produces very less pollution), as is in the case of Iceland.
