It seems to me that wherever there are volcanos, the crops seem to grow 
better there(i.e. Claifornia and Idaho). Why is that? Does an erruption 
make the soil more fertile or is it something else? We don't have them in 
Ohio and we really are not know for producing large quantities of crops. I 
was just wondering what part the volcanos played.
