By now, you will no doubt have learned that volcanoes occur in narrow belts in certain areas of the world. These belts also suffer earthquakes, and they mark out the areas where the Earth's tectonic plates are coming together or moving apart.
Hawaii is an LEDC and so the local authorities did not have the money to warn people

Mauna Loa eruptions produce only lava and so pose little or no threat to settlements
There is a huge crater at the centre of this feature
There were lots of layers of volcanic ash
The Siberian Traps are made up from basaltic lavas
The Siberian Traps are made from granite
The release of large amounts of volcanic gases causing climate change
The lava could have flowed right round the world, burning the dinosaurs to death
Eathquakes caused by the eruption would have created massive cracks in the ground that the dinosaurs fell into and died of starvation
