contrast the impact of catasteraphic volcanic eruptions on the local versus global population?

Question

I really need you to help me to find a proper answer for this question please  

Answer 1

A local population has more people in a specific region (crowded) than a global population which in which the people are more scattered about.  So the more people that inhabit a common region, the more catastrophic the eruption is.  This is because the chances of fatalities and casualties is higher.

 

Does this help you some?
