The primary effects of Mount Pinatubo's 1991 eruption included the immediate release of ash and volcanic gases, resulting in widespread ashfall, pyroclastic flows, and significant damage to infrastructure and agriculture in surrounding areas. Secondary effects involved global climate changes, notably a temporary drop in global temperatures due to the release of sulfur dioxide, which formed aerosol particles in the stratosphere, reflecting sunlight. Additionally, the eruption triggered lahars, or volcanic mudflows, that caused further destruction to communities and landscapes long after the initial eruption.
