when a large volcanic eruption happens, it'll most likeyl send up a large gas cloud into the air that blocks out the sun for a while. the blockage of the suns heat cools down the surrounding area until the cloud dissipates

How do people respond to a volcanic eruption?

Mainly by re-building the island and making sure the volcano is safe to be around.


How effect a volcano eruption to people?

Volcanic eruptions usually displace survivors as the area around the volcano is usually rendered uninhabitable. The amount of volcanic ash emitted from the eruption also changes the air quality which can also be dangerous.


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.


Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler temperature over a large area around the volcano?

Blocking of solar radiation from ash in the atmosphere causing less radiation to reach surface cooler temperatures. *I <3 cupcakes!*:)


What are signs that you should look for when a volcano is going to erupt?

The temperature of rocks in the volcanic cone increase. Changes in shape of the volcanic cone. Most of the time the cone starts to swell or bulge just before a eruption. A number of increases in small earthquakes or tremors around a volcano Emission of gas and steam from a volcano.


Are there signs for the eruption of volcanoes?

Before a volcano erupts, there is normally an increase in earthquakes, you might see some volcanic ash come out, you might see an increase in gas or steam around the volcano, and you might see a change in height or shape of the land around the volcano.


Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler temperatures over a large area around volcano?

Because when the volcano erupts it lets all the hot volcanic acid and lava out of the ground making the earth's surface cooler.


Is a volcanic eruption described as severe or serious?

It depends on the size and generally everything about the volcano. If it is a big volcano with a big eruption, then it would be severe. If it was a dormant volcano with a big eruption then it would also be severe, but if the volcano doesn't harm the general populace then it won't be dangerous at all. Most volcano eruptions would probably be severe though because of the general populace living around it (Hawaii) or because the volcano was dormant for so long, that it was unexpected.(Mt.Helen)


How hot does a volcano get before it explodes?

Whether a volcano is about to erupt does not strictly depend on temperature, and not all eruptions are explosive. The temperature of the erupted material erupted. Silica-rich magma is typically around 1200 to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit when it erupts while silica-poor magma is usually around 2100 degrees. Pressure and the presense of a path to the surface are bigger factors in a volcanic eruption than temperature is.
