I am currently in Earth Science and according to the "Pearson Earth Science" book, YES, all volcanic eruptions emit a large amount of gas. The quantity of emitted gas can exceed thousands of tons each day

Is the one thing all volcanic eruptions have in common is that they emit large amounts of gas?
Yes
Is there a relationship between global warming and natural phenomena like earthquakes tsunamis and volcanic eruptions?
All these phenomena can emit some carbon dioxide emissions. (Not very much. Human activity is responsible for 100 times the amount of carbon dioxide that comes from volcanic eruptions.) However, carbon dioxide does add to the enhanced greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.The other side of the story is that dust and other airborne particulates from volcano eruptions have a cooling effect for some days, as the ash cloud blocks heat from the sun.
Are volcanic eruptions an important cause of ozone?
No, ozone is destroyed by a runaway autocatalytic reaction with chlorine transported to the upper atmosphere by chlorofluorocarbons (man made compounds that do not exist in nature). One chlorine atom can destroy several tens of thousands of ozone molecules before it is neutralized. Volcanoes do not emit chlorofluorocarbons nor can they inject chlorine into the ozone layer.
Do all volcanoes erupt lava?
Lava emissions are found with all active volcanoes, although some volcano emit more lave than others.
What will an atom of an isotope with a large neutron to proton ratio probably emit?
Beta particle
Is the one thing all volcanic eruptions have in common is that they emit large amounts of gas?
Yes
Does Saturn emit or reflect light?
It reflects light. The only body in our solar system that emits light is the sun. The Earth also emits light from fires, volcanic eruptions and electric lighting but not enough to illuminate something as large as another planet.

What causes a car to emit large amount of white smoke?
A blown head gasket
what happens when the sun emit more energy that normal?
What happens when the Sun emits more energy than normal?O Solar flares and sunspots occur, increasing Earth's temperature.O Sunspots and volcanic eruptions occur, increasing Earth's temperature.O Volcanic eruptions and movement of continents occur, decreasing Earth's temperature.O Movement of continents and solar flares occurs, decreasing Earth's temperature.?
Is the greatest source of air pollution volcanic eruptions or burning fossil fuels?
Definitely the burning of fossil fuels. Volcanoes emit around 100,000,000 tons of CO2 a year. Man-made emissions of CO2 comes to about 10,000,000,000 tons of CO2 per year. So volcanoes emit around 1/100th of CO2 that we do.
Why do scientists think that quasars emit a large amount of energy?
Scientists think that quasars emit a large amount of energy because they believe each quasar has an incredibly large black hole in the center of it. They believe a torus, or disk of dust and gas, has material that falls near the black hole causing it to hear to millions of degrees that accelerates the reaction outward.
What color are the cooler stars?
Colder stars emit red light. Hot stars emit large amounts of green light with small amount of red and blue light, which balances out to a white color in human eyes.
What might happen if living organisms emit light energy also produced a large amount of heat energy?
Essentially, it would cook itself.
Things that create a low pitched sound?
Whales (but also the humble toadfish) emit low-pitched sounds that can carry extremely far under water. The speakers of professional sound systems used by bands and DJ's also have a lot of bass. Diesel engines when stationary emit a very low-frequency sound. On a bigger scale, earthquakes, avalanches and volcanic eruptions create a very low piched noise.
Do quasers emit large amounts of radio waves?
yes
Does a fluorescent bulb emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage?
No, a fluorescent bulb does not emit the same amount of heat as a metal halide bulb of the same wattage.
