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 teacher
because 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 temperature
ooh 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.

∙ 10y agoYes, volcanic eruptions affect 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. Massive volcanic activity has historically been followed by periods of global cooling as an effect, so by extension, these eruptions could reverse, at least temporarily, the symptoms of global warming.

∙ 7y agoVolcanoes release two gasses that can affect climate: carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the lower atmosphere. Increasing the amount of carbon dioxide in the world can raise global temperatures. Sulfur dioxide will form tiny droplets in the upper atmosphere, reflecting sunlight and causing cooling.

What kinds of climate change might be caused by volcanic eruptions?
hindi ko alam
What links have scientists made between Volcanoes and climate change?
When a volcano erupts, it releases a large amount of ash into the atmosphere which creates a localized greenhouse effect. Additionally, the burning of any local organic matter can cause a lot of carbon dioxide into the air.
How do volcanoes change the land destructively?
Volcanoes can change the land destructively in several ways. One of the most common ways is through volcanic eruptions, where lava flows and ash deposits can bury and destroy existing landforms. Volcanic eruptions can also lead to the formation of new land through the accumulation of volcanic materials, such as ash and volcanic rock. Additionally, volcanic activity can trigger landslides, mudflows, and lahars, which further modify the landscape in a destructive manner.
Does nuclear or coal energy mostly contribute to the climate change?
Coal energy releases greenhouse gases when burnt, causing global warming. Nuclear power has very little effect on climate change.
How do Volcanoes effect the atmosphere and climate?
Volcanoes erupt gases that change Earth's atmosphere. The volcanic ash and clouds can affect the air and atmosphere
Can volcanic eruptions change climate?
yes

What are some natural events that have caused change in earth climate?
The eruptions of volcanos can cause significant climate changes due to volcanic ash in the air.
Which of the following is a change in the Earth's crust caused by volcanic eruptions?
formation of new land
What would happen if a change in the core?
There would be more earthquakes and more volcanic eruptions

Is volcanic eruption a natural change?
Yes it is. Volcanic eruptions are the product of certain types of the earths tectonic plate interaction. The tectonic plates make up the earth.
How does the depletion of the ozone layer contribute to climate change?
Depletion of ozone alters ecosystem. This then alters the climate change.
How did climate change kill all the dinosaurs?
It is not certain that climate change killed the dinosaurs. It is likely that several factors combined. Temperatures though rose by around 10°C between the Early and Middle Cretacious Period. This could have been caused by a huge asteroid impact. It could also have been caused by extreme volcanic eruptions in the area of India and Pakistan. There was great climate change in the Late Cretacious Period. Continental movement and volcanic eruptions made many changes. Sea levels fell and tropical vegetation was replaced by woodlands. If the vegetarian dinosaurs' food supply failed, then the food chain would affect the meat eaters too.
How do volcanic eruptions change the face of the earth?

Is there anything that warns us that a volcano is going to erupt?
Yes. Volcanic eruptions are often preceded by earthquakes, venting of steam and gas, and very slight change to the shape of the volcano. Large eruptions are often preceded by smaller eruptions.
Why do climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern?
Climate scientists believe climate change is real and is of concern because they understand the science involved and the factors that contribute to the climate, what controls it, and what is happening that makes the climate change. They also see and understand how the climate is changing and why it is happening.
