The eruption affected weather and temperatures around the world.
The 1991 eruption sent up a cloud of ash 21km (13 miles) high. In volume this was 10 cubic km (2.4 cubic miles) of material.
The vast amount of aerosols and dust gradually spread through the stratosphere during the following year. Sulfur dioxide produced a global haze of sulfuric acid droplets. All this blocked out the sun. The amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface was reduced by 10%.
Temperatures in the northern hemisphere dropped by 0.5 C (0.9 F). At the same time temperatures in the stratosphere rose several degrees, because the dust and other particles there absorbed the sun's radiation (preventing it reaching the earth's surface). This cloud of aerosols from the explosion stayed in the stratosphere for three more years.
The eruption also lowered ozone levels. The winter ozone hole over Antarctica in 1992 was the largest ever.
Deaths: 847 people died, mostly from roofs collapsing under the weight of wet ash.
Agriculture: 150 km2 of reforestation projects was destroyed. 800 km2 (200,000 acres) of rice farmland was destroyed, and almost 800,000 livestock and poultry were killed. This destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of farmers.
Buildings: 8000 houses were destroyed and 73,000 were damaged. This included schools, factories and local government buildings.
Positive: The soil becomes more fertile near volcanoes.
Negative: Crops are destroyed and can be hard to regrow.
Mount Pinatubo is on the Philippine plate near the boundary with the Pacific Plate.
its your fault people have cancer
convergent plate boundary
Yes, the Mount Pinatubo Eruption was predicted.
Fifty eight thousand people in a thirty kilometer radius around Mt. Pinatubo were evacuated and 200 to 800 people died. However, the eruption changed world temperature and affected the ozone layer.
yes cause mt Pinatubo is because its the second largest volcanic eruption of the twentieth century
Mount Pinatubo had LATERAL eruption. It means, generally volcano erupts at its highest peak where its vent finds an opening, but mount Pinatubo got a weak side and therefore it erupted laterally.
100000 people were hurt in the eruption of mount Pinatubo
Yes, the Mount Pinatubo Eruption was predicted.
The most recent eruption of Mount Pinatubo produce ash and pumice.

what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
Mount Pinatubo erupted for twelve days in 1991. The first eruption was on June 3 and the climactic eruption took place on June 15.
Yes. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo produced massive pyroclastic flows.
Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano or composite volcano. The last eruption happened in 1993
Mount Pinatubo is a volcano on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is best known for its enormous eruption on June 15, 1991. This eruption was the second largest of the twentieth century.
