Oceans.
There isn't much sulfur in Earth's atmosphere, but when there is, you notice it! Sulfur is responsible for the pungent stench of rotten eggs, the smell of matchheads and of volcanic eruptions.
Volcanic eruptions
Explosive volcanic eruptions affect the Earth's spheres by introducing volcanic substances into these spheres. Tons of volcanic gases and water vapor can spread through the atmosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere. These gases are then inhaled by the organisms in the biosphere, which could lead to health problems.

Volcanic eruptions
Volcanic eruptions can be seen as pressure release valves for the earth. The volcanic eruptions release gases into our atmosphere. In fact without volcanoes we would have no atmosphere at all.
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.
Volcanic eruptions, they produced a lot of carbon dioxide which made up the early atmosphere.
Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.
Oceans.
Vocanoes can be helpful because the earth's first oceans and atmosphere were formed from the gases given off by volcanoes. Volcanoes have also shaped the earth's landscape, many of our mountains, islands, and plains have been built by volcanic eruptions.
The volcanic eruptions affect the temperature due to the ash cloud it injects into the atmosphere. The ash cloud insulates the earth, preventing some of the warm of the sun from being absorb by the earth. This results in cooler temperatures in the affected areas.
Yes. Volcanic eruptions typically release dust and other particles which shield the earth from the sun, producing a cooling effect. Some greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, can be released, causing a warming effect.
Some of the earth's atmosphere was made from volcanic eruptions in the past and also when a comet struck earth like when the dinosaurs were alive it cooled down the planet.
