Answer 1

The increase in global trade and interconnectedness has been the change that has most increased the vulnerability of commerce to volcanic eruptions. With the rise of global supply chains and just-in-time manufacturing, even a small disruption in one part of the world can have cascading effects on businesses and industries around the globe. Volcanic eruptions that disrupt logistics networks, damage infrastructure, or contaminate air travel can have far-reaching consequences on the global economy.
