_____21. Volcanic eruption can have both positive and negative effects. Which of
the following statements below describes the positive effects of volcanic
eruption?
A. Produce very rich soils for farming. C. Loss of lives.

_____22. It’s summer and you have been planning to take a vacation in Naga City
in Bicol where your grandparents live so you bought a bus ticket early.
While you were still in Manila a few days before your scheduled trip, you
saw the news on TV that Mt. Mayon in Albay has erupted and thousands
of people were evacuated. Is it safe for you to still go on vacation in Naga?

A. Yes, because Mayon is a 2-3 hour drive from Naga. The lava can’t go
that far and based on its past eruptions the people in Albay are the ones
mainly affected but be prepared to encounter some traces of ash.
B. Yes, because Mayon is too far for the pyroclastic flow to reach Naga
and the bus will never pass through Albay anyway so it’s safe to take the
trip.
C. No, because the eruption can continue for weeks.
 D. No, because the ashes will surely be flown by the wind and will
eventually reach Naga, thus, ruining your vacation.
