Ejecta from volcanoes (ash and debris) can cause erosion. Sometimes ash flow may fill up or push out lakes, and all that water can contribute to mudslide erosion.
Typically, however, volcanic ash deposits are the opposite of erosion as the volcano builds a cinder cone, and eruptions of molten rock solidify to make new layers of rock.

∙ 9y agoLandslides are most often associated with stratovolcanoes. These are steep-sided volcanoes with slopes composed partly of loose ash deposits. This setup is fairly unstable. Volcanoes are capable of producing earthquakes, which can trigger landslides. In some cases, magma moving inside a volcano can cause it to change shape slightly, which can destabilize an otherwise stable slope.

How do volcanoes contribute to weathering and erosion?
They Don't
How does the landscape change around a volcanoes over many years?
I believe by weathering and erosion. What do you believe?
What do you think will happen to the amount of volcanoes and what impact will it have on farming?
The amount of volcanoes will tend to increase, which will impact farming in a negative way by decreasing the amount of available farmland.
Do volcanoes impact both air and land of the surrounding environment?
true
What type of weathering affects the Aleutian islands?
Weathering is the gradual destruction of rock under surface conditions. The Aleutian Islands are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire and part of the Pacific Plate which has a high concentration of volcanoes.
How do volcanoes contribute to weathering and erosion?
They Don't
What forces wears away at the earth's surfaces is it a. weathering b.deposition c.earthquakes d. volcanoes?
weathering
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
Does mercury have volcanoes and craters?
Mercury has impact craters but not volcanoes.
