Yes, volcanic eruptions can drop global temperature. The release of sulfur dioxide into the stratospheric aerosol layer causes chemical reactions that reflect the sun's rays away from Earth. It has even been studied as a possible (if not controversial) model for counteracting the effects of global warming from carbon dioxide buildup.

What product of a volcanic eruption causes wide spread drop in temperature and possible crop failures?
i think the gas is very bad for crops as it polluts
What combinations is most likely to result in a violent volcanic eruption?
The most likely combination to result in a violent volcanic eruption is the presence of highly viscous magma (such as rhyolitic or andesitic magma) and a large amount of dissolved gas (particularly water vapor and carbon dioxide). These conditions can lead to a buildup of pressure within the magma chamber, causing a violent and explosive eruption. Other factors such as the presence of a vent or conduit for the magma to reach the surface and the structural weakness or faults in the volcano can also contribute to the severity of the eruption.
What are the World wide impact of volcanic eruption?
Many people are killed and many injured. Also, on a more global basis, the earth's climate can often be disrupted. An example being the Mt. Tambora eruption which caused the Earth's yearly average climate to drop by 3 degrees Celsius.
How can volcanic eruptions contribute to global climate change?
Volcanic eruptions can enhance global warming by adding some carbon dioxide (CO2) to the atmosphere.Volcanic eruptions can reduce global warming for a short time by blocking and reflecting the sun's heat with their ash.i think u should ask your teacherbecause of all the dust left in the air after the eruption, the temperatures drop because all that dust bocks the sun.it decreases the earth's temperatureooh i loove these kind of questions.. it decreases the earths temperature because when it erupts it releases ashes into the air. -- so than the ashes block out the son, decreasing the UV (ultra violent) rays from the sun from touching the earth.
How could global warming lead to western Europe experiencing a huge drop in temperature?
If the Gulf Stream stopped running.

What bad effect volcanic eruptions?
It can cause a very low drop in temperature like it did billions of years ago
What is one effect of the drop in global temperatures casued by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815?
The answer would be that no crops would grow because of the sun blockage
What effects would an increase on clouds have on Earth's climate?
Increased clouds would block more of the sun's rays. This can cause a drop of temperature worldwide. The 1812-1814 volcanic eruptions, plus the April 10, 1815 horrific volcanic eruption on an island caused heavier clouds and drop in temp. It produced the 1816 "Summer that never was" when it snowed in the summer. Thousands in every country died. Crops and livestock died. It was a year of poverty and suffering.

What explains the global drop in temperature?
Added particles in the atmosphere keep some sunlight from reaching Earth. Source: WWW.AEULS.COM
What is bits of rock or solidified lava dropped from the air after a volcanic eruption?
tephra, or debris from the eruption of a volcano:)
Can painting your roof white lower the temperature of the planet?
Yes, estimates have been put forward by scientists that indicate a 1 degree (C) drop in global temperature if all rooftops were white.
