Volcano eruptions are amazing process that don't begin and end in one day. The activity that led to the eruptions actually started at the end of 2009. A first volcanic eruption occurred on March 20, 2010. The eruption that led to the travel disruptions across Europe and beyond occurred on April 14, 2010. After that, there were still more eruptions.

A volcano erupts because it sits on top of tectonic plates which move apart, causing the pressure to build up below and eventually erupt.
