Because of the frequency of volcanic eruptions, animals have adapted to the point where volcanoes are now essential for them to survive. The high level of energy in the lava provides nourishment for the animals and can extend their life cycle by hundreds of years, depending on the amount of time the animal was immersed in magma. For a short time after being doused in this liquid rock, animals gain "superpowers" so to speak. These include regrowth of limbs, laser vision, telekinesis, super speed, super strength, super stench, flight, Golf skills, and on rare occasions, spiritual enlightenment.

∙ 9y agoWhen a volcano erupts, the hot lava and ash cause major damage to plants and animals and can kill them. The nutrients in the ashes and magma then make the earth fertile and things start to thrive again.

∙ 10y agoThe magma and lava would kill animals and plants due to the extremity of the heat. Also the ash that is let out of the volcano after or during the eruption can be very poisonous, and example of deadly ash in a volcanic scenario is the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius

Why is a volcanic eruption an example of natural pollution?
A volcanic eruption is an example of natural pollution 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 might a volcanic eruption affect the area around A volcano including a plant and animal life?
it affects plant and animal life because the ash clouds cover the sun and the plants and animals die
How do volcanic eruptions affect the biosphere?
It can suffocate animals and burn or bury the trees and plants in ash
What preserves ancient remains of plants and animals?
Volcanic ash
In each theory what causes the extinction of plants and animals?
Asteroid Impact : Plants and organisms that performed photosynthesis died, and many animals that depended on those plants for food died, too Volcanic Eruptions : The volcanic dust blocked the sun's energy from reaching Earth's surface, causing plants, and animals to die.
What to be aware of after a volcanic eruption?
changes in the air,changes to the landscape,changes to the water,effect on plants and animals

How could ash from a massive volcanic eruption affect the energy intake of nearby plants and animals?
In regards of plants, the ash from the eruption would disturb their ability to photosynthesize. The ash would cover many of their leaves and prevent them from getting the exposure to sunlight that the plants need.In turn, this would reduce the energy intake of animals. Animals that eat the plants would no longer be able to get as much food because plants in the surrounding areas of the volcano would be dying or at least not growing as well as they did before the eruption because of the ash.

What signals a coming volcanic eruption?
brown, eggy smelling sulphite water. Plants and animals dieing. mini earthquakes and scientists arriving to survey the earthquake
A volcanic eruption can be frightening and destructive, but it can also help humankind. Choose two positive outcomes of a volcanic eruption?
two benefits of a volcanic eruption one is that it help plants grow and Volcanic materials ultimately break down and weather to form some of the most fertile soils on Earth
Do volcanos bury plants and animals?
Yes, some volcanic eruptions can bury plants and animals. Eruptions such as the famous, documented eruption of Krakatoa generate pyroclastic clouds that obliterate everything in their path. Pyroclastic flows are superheated rock and ash that move hundreds of miles per hour. This is generally in the late stages of an eruption, though. In cases like the famous eruption near Pompei, ash rains down from the eruption for a prolonged period of time, covering (and burying) plants and animals below, which can often preserve them for hundred of years.
What kind of effect can a volcanic eruption have on the planet?
it can create islands or destroy plants and people and buildings etc.
How might biodiversity help an ecosystem recover from volcanic eruption?
Biodiversity includes divers population of plants and animals. After volcanic eruption at a place, both plants and animals are affected by increased temperature and molted lava. When eruption subsides and the lava cools down, vegetation stars reappearing. First of all lichens and microscopic plants and thereafter macroscopic plants ans animals also take shelter here. Thus among divers population of plants and animals, those forms which can withstand the prevailing conditions reappear and in a long run the whole ecosystem recovers.
