If you were a public official in the area around mt. vesuvius or in kobe, japan, what steps would you take to ensure that people are safe from these natural disasters?

I would first get people to safety like local churches or shelters, evacuate everybody left, send out a team to find people trapped or underneath things, and also announce the rule that if anybody wants safety they have to leave now because if not we're not coming back to save you and I would do this because most people don't want to leave behind their material items so I want to clarify that to people so they know what's going to happen.

Mantle convection is the process that drives plate tectonics. the theory of plate tectonics states that the crust is divided into plates that float on the semi molten mantle below. the circular motion of the magma as it slowly rises and falls or move though convection cells drags the plates along causing them to move. the heat source in the lamp would represent the earth's core. the core is the source of energy that drives convection in the mantle. the lava represents molten magma under the earth's surface. if the lava lamp had floating pieces they would move as the circular motion of the lava in the lamp as it rises and falls would move them along the surface. these floating pieces would represent pieces of the earth's crust.
