Volcanic acid is acid that forms as a result of volcanic gasses reacting with water. The primary cause of this is sulfur dioxide, which reacts with water and oxygen to form sulfuric acid. Other contributors may include hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, and nitrogen oxides, which will form hydrofluoric, hydrochloric, and nitric acids respectively. Some volcanoes hold acidic lakes in their craters.
The term may also refer to a proprietary oil/gas well stimulation treatment product provided by Halliburton.

What solar events occur during volcanic eruptions?
There are no Solar events that are connected to volcanic eruptions.
What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
What volcanic activity caused the most destruction in Pompeii?
volcanic activity caused the most destruction in pompeii
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.
Are volcanic islands caused by earthquakes?
It is more accurate to say that the process that creates volcanic islands also produces earthquakes.
Does volcanic acid burn through bones?
The compound "volcanic acid" does not exist.However, volcanoes can produce sulfuric acid, which can damage bone and soft tissue.
Do volcanic gas and acid droplets make the climate hotter?
volcanic gas and acid droplets can make the climate hotter because volcano gas is very hot and volcano acid is hot to so volcanic gas and acid can make the climate hotter no matter what.
What is the brightness of the mintaka?
500volts of volcanic acid mother
Where is sulfuric acid found in nature?
volcanic activity
What kind of acid is in acid rain?
There are two possible types of acid in acid rain. 1) The acid formed from Carbon Dioxide (from natural Carbon Dioxide in air, from man burning fossil fuels and from volcanic gasses); Carbonic Acid 2) The acid formed from Sulfur Dioxide (from man burning fossil fuels and from volcanic gasses); Sulfuric Acid.
What are some natral causes of acid rain?
Volcanic eruptions.
Which material erupted from volcanoes is important in acid rain?
Sulfur dioxide is a product of a volcanic eruption that is also found in acid rain.
Is it true that most acid precipitation forms as the result of volcanic eruptions?
No. Acid precipitation nowadays is mostly the result for the burning of fossil fuels.
How might the earth naturally release some of the same gases that contribute to acid rain?
By volcanic activity.
What category does carbon dioxide volcanic activity moisture and acid rain fall under?
Chemical weathering.
What makes smoke from volcano poisonous?
Volcanic gasses include sulfur dioxide, a toxic gas that forms sulfuric acid on contact with moisture. This acid can badly damage the respiritory system.
What are the weather conditions related to a volcanic eruption?
Un-breath AirGasses causing acid ranCool/Rainy weather for months
