Answer to Question 1

Answer: Ash can collect in thick deposits (possibly collapsing the roof), can mix with heavy rain to create lahars, or can potentially be part of a pyroclastic flow.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Some volcanoes are near major population centers, so an eruption has the potential to disrupt business and travel as well as to hurt/kill large numbers of people.
