These deposits are rich in minerals and these minerals are not available for all plants around the world. The ash and rock minerals can form into rich soil, but that depends on the location of the volcano and the weather. It can take, “...thousands of years of weathering for the ash and rock deposits to form a rich soil.”(Source 2: Volcanic Soils) The rich soil is called “volcanic loam.” When the volcanic loam is forming it all depends on the weather. Source 2, “Volcanic Soils” says, “In Hawaii, for example, weathering from wind and rain occurs quickly because of the tropical climate. Hawaii’s lush vegetation is due to the rapid formation of soil from volcanic deposits.” In that piece of text it says, that volcanic loam helps farming and crops. When the loam breaks down it gives important nutrients to plants and provides wonderful drainage. Italy has very poor soil, except Naples. Mount Vesuvius is located in the same region of Italy, Naples and caused two abundant eruptions that happened about ten thousands of years
