Why Most of the time the active volcanoes are linked or connected with the lakes which causes troubles to the surrounding peoples by increasing the rate of Methane gas in the lakes (Lake Kivu for example) or eruption of volcanos like Nyirangongo and Nyamuragira .

Dear Guoying Wang
Nyiragongo is an active stratovolcano situated on the Eastern African Rift; it is part of Africa’s Virunga Volcanic Chain. To date, eruption is causing a massive vast plume of smoke and ash skyward, and three swifly-moving rivers of lava streaming down its western and eastern flanks. Ultimately, it has evinced that tectonic plates near Lake Kivu fracturing and the constant seismic activity in the region are the main cause of eruption of Nyiragongo volcanos.
