Correct answers: drastically alter the ecosystem, and add nutrients to the surrounding soil.

Explanation: eruptions can destroy habitats and change landscapes (drastically altering ecosystems), and volcanic ash and lava weathering release minerals that enrich soils. While eruptions can lead to long-term recolonization and eventual increases in biodiversity, they usually reduce local life immediately and do not typically “draw” animals to the area.
