Dear cecil,
Not much information is available about the rules which are applicable to the dead or active volcanoes in the shape and form school of feng shui. What is the reason behind this. Since there are some cities around the world which are located near or on the volcanoes(not active for millions of years). Thanks.

Dear Anon,
1. Feng Shui practitioners can be divided into several categories or specialties.
2. Nowadays, it is not often one can find a Feng Shui Master or Grand master `tasked' to look at large sites.
3. In older times, there are few Feng Shui Masters especially Imperial FS Masters tasked at looking into huge sites for cities etc... Some of them are even geologists etc... They are schooled at determing sites.
4. Nowadays, this form of Feng Shui is `rare' and without practise, it is in my opinion a dying art. We seldom if ever hear of new cities being built thus many FS practitioners especially the better ones are not planning for smaller projects.
These smaller projects are mini-cities or skyscrapers.
As more people, are keen to look at their homes, the focus or `specialty' for most FS practitioners are more in this area.
5. Hong Kong FS practitioners because of the small island and mostly sky scrapers, are more specialised on FS of such buildings and flats, offices.
While Taiwan FS practitioners have more speciality in `landed' property. But again this depends on where they stay. If they stay in cities, then they would be more inclined or `specialised' in FS of high rise buildings.
It is the frequency of doing FS audits, that provides `experience' to FS practitioners.
Without the opportunity to do FS projects of large cities since most are already established today, this is indeed a dying or a `dead' art.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
