The local and global effects of volcanic eruptions include toxic ash 'rain', that pollutes streams, rivers, and chemically alters ground water sources as well as soil.

How do volcanic eruptions contribute to global warming?

Volcanic eruptions release large amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, which can contribute to global warming by trapping heat and increasing the Earth's temperature.


Did mt tambora erupt in 1967?

No, the eruption of Mount Tambora occurred in 1815, not 1967. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, with widespread global effects.


What percentage of global volcanic eruptions take place in sea bed?

Approximately 75% of global volcanic eruptions take place on the sea floor, mainly along mid-ocean ridges where tectonic plates diverge. These undersea eruptions contribute significantly to the shaping of the Earth's crust and play a crucial role in creating new oceanic crust.


Why do volcanoes errupt due to global warming?

Volcanic eruptions are not caused by anything related to climate.


Can a volcanic eruption drop the global temperature?

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 phenomenons would be considered an observable indication of global warming?

Yes, there are natural phenomenons that produce global warning but most of them are very slow processes that they can't be noticed. Volcanic eruptions is one of such phenomenons, but to increase global warming at present rate with volcanic eruptions, earth need more active volcanoes.


How does plate tectonics affect global warming?

it affect global warming due to emissions sent from volcanic eruptions and multiple other emissions `


Is the eruption of Mount Krakatoa a volcanic eruption?

Yes, the eruption of Mount Krakatoa in 1883 was a volcanic eruption. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, resulting in the destruction of most of the island and causing significant global climate effects.


How does dust from volcanoes link to global warming?

Volcanic eruptions can reduce global warming for a short time by blocking and reflecting the sun's heat with their dust and ash.


What causes masive climate changes?

global warming, massive (vei8) volcanic eruptions & meterorite hits (ask the dinosaurs)


Can pollution be caused by natural events such as volcanic eruptions?

The previous answer was incorrect.The main Natural Pollution is volcanic eruptions. This is because when a volcano erupts, volcanic ash and volcanic bombs are also erupted. The air produced suffocates animals and humans which are nearby. The eruptions also destroy houses, plants and trees.


How is Volcanic eruptions atmosphere effected to the earth?

Volcanic eruptions inject ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which can lead to cooling of the earth's surface by blocking sunlight. The sulfur dioxide converts to sulfuric acid aerosols, which can cause acid rain and affect air quality. Additionally, volcanic eruptions can release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which can contribute to global warming.
