Keywords

Abstract

In 1991 Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines, sending fireballs of molten debris into the sky and depositing a three-foot thick layer of ash in every direction. Though destructive, the eruption also had a beneficial result: the ejected ash served to fertilize the islands’ soil, enhancing its ability to bring forth a multitude of tropical fruits and crops.
