• A volcano erupts next to a grassland area in a valley. 
• Describe three ways in which materials released by the volcano could impact the 

grassland area. (3 points)  The lava from the volcano could completely wipe out the grassland causing all former life to  be gone and plants will take a long time to grow back. If the lava does not reach the  grassland and just the plants are destroyed from the heat, the soil is still good so the plants  will grow back. Volcanic eruptions also release a lot of volcanic dust that makes the air  quality suck and can bury the plants in the grassland ; killing them.
