Volcanoes - Primary and Secondary Effects
We can split the effects of volcanoes into primary effects and secondary effects.
Primary effects
- Primary effects happen during the natural disaster.
- For example, for a volcanic eruption, primary effects would happen as a result of the volcano erupting lava, ash, rock, and gas.
Secondary effects
- Secondary effects happen later on because of the primary effects.
