Peru, located within the Andean Volcanic Belt, hosts a significant number of volcanoes, with over 40 considered potentially active. These volcanoes primarily take the form of stratovolcanoes, including well-known peaks such as Ubinas, Sabancaya, and El Misti. Eruptions throughout history have impacted Peruvian communities with ashfall, lava flows, and lahars (volcanic mudflows)
