It takes a truly massive, explosive eruption to effect the weather on more than a local scale. This is because there needs to be millions of tons of sulfate ejected into the stratosphere (mostly from tropical volcanoes), which then makes its way around the globe, effectively blocking the sun. These eruptions generally have the effect of cooling the planet, but only for about 2 years at the most as the aerosols become washed out of the atmosphere. hi

Are volcanic eruptions weather or climate related?
No, climate and weather do not cause volcanic eruptions. However weather affects the products produced by a volcanic eruption.
Is a volcano eruption considered a weather event?
No. While volcanic eruptions can affect weather, they are considered geologic events.
How can a volcano eruption affect weather conditions locally and globally?
Volcanic eruptions affect the weather conditions locally and globally by cooling the planet.
Dust and ash entering the atmosphere as a result of volcanic eruptions can affect earths?
Weather and climate.
Are volcanic eruptions rare?
Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.

Weather and climate.
Is an eruption weather?
No. While some very large volcanic eruptions can affect the weather, the euption itself is a geologic event.
How do volcanic eruptions affect the hydrosphere?
because it can kbye.
Volcanic eruptions can affect earth's climate true or false?
true
Do volcano eruptions affect the volcano?
Yes, volcanic eruptions affect the volcano. The lava being pushed out and reforming affects the volcano's internal and external structure.
How volcanic eruptions differ from earthquakes?
volcanic eruptions are hotter
What process can a volcanic eruptions affect a volcanic eruptions?
The sulfur cloud that comes out after a volcanic eruption covers the earth's atmosphere, stops much sunlight from reaching Earth, and makes the Earth colder by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.
Are volcanic eruptions rare?
Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.
How do volcanic eruptions affect the biosphere?
It can suffocate animals and burn or bury the trees and plants in ash
