How can a volcanic eruption affect you if you live 1000 miles away from the volcano?

That is because of the poisonous gas that can spread very far.

∙ 8y agoA large volcanic eruption can send gases and clouds of particulates very high in the atmosphere, where they can be carried great distances by the wind, even in some cases for 1000 miles.

∙ 12y agothe poisonous gas can go up 1000 miles and pollutes the air that people breath and the ashes can collapse a house if there is to much.

What was the loudest volcanic eruption ever?
Krakatoa or Krakatau in Indonesia was the loudest volcanic explosion that ever recorded, was heard 3,500 km ( 2,170 miles ) and it was in 1883
How do you escape a volcanic eruption?
If a volcanic eruption occurs in your area, you should always have a mask, goggles, and an emergency kit on hand. Ash and lava can travel for many miles so getting out of the area at the first sign of eruption may save your life.
How does the volume of an eruption affect an area?
There are a lot of variables here, but the general answer is that a larger volume of ejected material (lava, ash, or other stuff) will either cover more area or cover a given area to a greater depth. The geography of the surrounding area will have a lot to do with this, as will the type of material ejected and the atmospheric conditions.
How either an earthquake or volcanic eruption occurs?
Earthquakes occur when two plates of the Earth's crust collide. The collision creates a seismic wave, shaking the earth for miles around the collision. Volcanic eruptions occur when the pressure becomes too great inside the volcano, forcing the magma up through the vents and the main opening in the volcano.

Latin for little stones these are shattered stones thrown out by a volcano?
The stones thrown from a volcanic eruption are called tuff. These rocks are also called volcanic fragments and they can be thrown hundreds of miles away from the volcano.

Krakatoa or Krakatau in Indonesia was the loudest volcanic explosion that ever recorded, was heard 3,500 km ( 2,170 miles ) and it was in 1883
Where is volcanic ash found?
Volcanic ash can be found above the crater, around the volcano and even miles and miles away from the volcano, depending on the size of eruption. It will rise up into the sky and then either remain in the sky (for very fine ash particles) and be carried by high-altitude winds around for a certain period of time or fall to the ground almost immediately after the eruption.
How much magma can cotopaxi can hold?
Cotopaxi volcano is in Ecuador. A volcano magma can be measured during and after volcano eruption. The Cotopaxi eruption in 1987, its lahar has travelled for 60 miles.

Why do people consider volcanic eruption as a disastrous event?
Because the ash, rock and lava devastate the area surrounding the volcano - and dust & ash can be carried for thousands of miles in the atmosphere.
How long does it take for a regular volcano to erupt?
150 miles the regular volcano is eruption
Does a volcano affect you even if you are very far from it?
It depends on the type and size of the eruption. Most volcanic eruptions do not cause more than localized disruptions. Extremely large eruptions can cause ash to fall thousands of miles away and change weather patterns worldwide.

What is a volcanic discharge?
A volcano erupts because there is mass pressure under it. In a volcano there is hot, melted rock called lava. The hot lava produces gasses that build up underground until there is too much for the rock to contain, that makes the eruption. When there is too much, it bursts the volcano. There are two types of eruptions. Non explosive and explosive. When they are explosive, it is caused by clouds of hot debris and gases.
