The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD released a significant amount of volcanic ash, gases, and aerosols into the atmosphere, which impacted air quality and climate. The ash and sulfur dioxide contributed to short-term cooling effects and could have led to diminished sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. Additionally, the release of these materials may have caused acid rain and affected weather patterns in the surrounding regions. Overall, such volcanic eruptions can have lasting effects on the atmosphere and climate systems.

How do you think particulates in the atmosphere might affect the earths temperature?

Particulates in the atmosphere reflect solar radiation and prevent it reaching the earth. This has the effect of lowering the temperature of the earth. This happened seriously in the mid-20th Century, but was stopped by Clean Air Acts round the world. It also happens for a few days after a volcanic eruption.


How would mount st helens affect the atmosphere?

All depends on the size of the eruption. If it were a big eruption then it could bellow ash and smoke into the atmosphere and cause sunlight and heat to be blocked around the world making the earths temperature fall for a little while. Also it will send gasses like methane, carbon dioxide and sulpher into the atmosphere, adding to the greenhouse gas level and maybe contributing to global warming.
