  1. A volcano erupting can cause a short-term environmental change. Most volcanic eruptions can cool the earth slightly for several days. This is short term. A really really massive eruption might cool the earth for a month.
  2. A large asteroid (at least a mile wide) striking land on earth could cause a long-term environmental change. One of the theories about the extinction of the dinosaurs suggests such an impact that darkened the skies for several years. This would mean a serious cooling of the planet.
