The given maps compare the layout of a town in the Atlantic Ocean before and after a volcanic eruption in 1706.
Overall, the town underwent a dramatic transformation after the eruption, especially in terms of its port and its landmarks.
In terms of the change from the first map to the second, the town was originally a compact settlement on the western headland, with a castle positioned just east of a cluster of houses. A natural bay served as a busy port handling around 60 ships a month, with trade routes to America and Europe. In 1706, a volcano located 8 km from the town erupted, sending two streams of lava down its slopes towards the coast.
Turning to the transition from the second map to the third, the two lava flows cut through the settlement: the first buried the area where the castle and central houses had once stood, while the second reached the bay. As a result, the castle was no longer present, the remaining houses were rebuilt in a looser line along the western coast, and the port was left with no ships.
