There are a number of harmful effects resulting from a volcanic eruption. For one thing, the ash and lava destroy habitats and kill lots of animals. For another, immense property damage, as well as deaths, occur when volcanoes erupt.

∙ 11y agoVolcanic eruptions are associated with local earthquakes, landslides, lava flows, poisonous pyroclastic clouds, and copious ash fall. A secondary problem is lahars and mudflows produced in rivers and lakes. Lava flows and fiery bombs can trigger fires that destroy homes and trees. Ash can smother humans and other living things. Lateral blast waves from volcanoes can level entire forests.
A more widespread effect is the addition of gases and dust into the atmosphere, which can reduce sunlight for plant life. Ash can also imperil aircraft which fly through the clouds of particulates.

Describe local and global effects of volcanic eruptions?
The local and global effects of volcanic eruptions include toxic ash 'rain', that pollutes streams, rivers, and chemically alters ground water sources as well as soil.
How does the volcano affect the ozone layer?
Volcanic eruptions release harmful gases. These gases deplete the ozone.
Are volcanic eruptions rare?
Volcanic eruptions are common in some of the Earth's volcanic hot-spots.
Is igneous released in volcanic eruptions?
Correct. Igneous rocks fly out of volcanic eruptions
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.
