A number of reasons. There are far fewer major volcanic eruptions than there are earthquakes. Earthquakes have no warning. Most volcanos give warning signs before a major eruption. Earthquakes affect far larger areas, and those areas are more likely to have people living in them. Unless you are near a volcano, *and* in the path of a pyroclastic flow, a blast, or are two stupid to get out of the way of a lava flow, they are unlikely to kill you.
factors that affect the rate of mechanical weathering?
In regards of plants, the ash from the eruption would disturb their ability to photosynthesize. The ash would cover many of their leaves and prevent them from getting the exposure to sunlight that the plants need.In turn, this would reduce the energy intake of animals. Animals that eat the plants would no longer be able to get as much food because plants in the surrounding areas of the volcano would be dying or at least not growing as well as they did before the eruption because of the ash.

There are two factors that determine how explosive a volcano is. The two factors are the amount of gas that is present in the lava and how easy or difficult that gas can be released into the atmosphere.
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
adding large quantities of several gases, such as sulfur dioxide, to the atmosphere as well as volcanic ash and dust.
A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.
by it's smoke, it's lava, and it's other harmful objects.
Volcanic eruptions affect the weather conditions locally and globally by cooling the planet.
No. While volcanic eruptions can affect weather, they are considered geologic events.
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.

No. While some very large volcanic eruptions can affect the weather, the euption itself is a geologic event.
