The volcanic eruption peril on a dwelling policy pays for damage caused by:
a.airborne ash, dust, and blast
b.settling of soil after ash falls
c.tremors that shake the ground
d.flooding from melted ice and snow
Explanation
Volcanic action covers the airborne blast and shock waves of an eruption together with the ash, dust, and particulate matter it throws out, and a lava flow. The earth movement wording keeps out the tremors and land shock waves that accompany an eruption, and settling of soil is excluded earth movement as well. Flood stays excluded whatever set it off.
