UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To determine which of the options is not considered a volcanic hazard, let's briefly define each term:

1. **Lahar**: A volcanic mudflow or debris flow that occurs when volcanic ash and debris mix with water, often from melting snow or heavy rain.

2. **Earthquakes**: While they can be associated with volcanic activity, they are not exclusively a volcanic hazard. Earthquakes can occur in many geological contexts.

3. **Lava flow**: The movement of molten rock (lava) from a volcano, which is a direct volcanic hazard.

4. **Tornado**: A rapidly rotating column of air that can occur in various weather conditions, not specifically related to volcanic activity.

5. **Landslide**: A general term for the movement of rock and soil down a slope, which can be triggered by volcanic activity but is not exclusive to it.

6. **Nuee ardente**: A fast-moving current of hot gas and volcanic matter (ash) that flows down the slopes of a volcano, considered a significant volcanic hazard.

Based on these definitions, the option that is not considered a volcanic hazard is **Tornado**.
A tornado is not considered a volcanic hazard.
