Answer 1

Volcanic eruptions can **drastically alter the ecosystem**, **increase biodiversity**, **add nutrients to the surrounding soil**, and **draw animals to the area**.

Each of these statements is true in different contexts following a volcanic eruption. The immediate effects are often destructive, but over time, volcanic activity can lead to new ecosystems forming and ultimately contribute positively to biodiversity and soil fertility.
