Volcanic eruptions can releases significant quantities of ash into the atmosphere. This ash acts to reduce the reduce the solar radiation reaching earth's surface and so can cause a reduction in average temperatures.

Why might a major volcano eruption lead to cooler temperatures over a large area around the area?

Because when the volcano erupts it lets all the hot volcanic acid and lava out of the ground making the earth's surface cooler.


What was the amount of materials expelled on mayon volcano eruption?

Around 60 million cubic meters of volcanic material were expelled during Mayon volcano's 2018 eruption. This eruption resulted in ashfall, pyroclastic flows, and lahars.

Why might a major volcanic eruption lead to cooler temperature over a large area around the volcano?

Blocking of solar radiation from ash in the atmosphere causing less radiation to reach surface cooler temperatures. *I <3 cupcakes!*:)


What are cinders which fall in vast quantities during a volcanic eruption?

Cinders are small, volcanic rocks or fragments that are ejected during a volcanic eruption. They are formed when magma is explosively expelled from a volcano and cools rapidly in the air, resulting in porous, lightweight particles. These cinders can accumulate around the volcano, contributing to the formation of volcanic landforms such as cinder cones. Their presence can impact the surrounding environment, including vegetation and air quality, during and after an eruption.


This type of volcano forms from tephra eruption?

A cinder cone volcano forms from tephra eruptions. Tephra consists of volcanic matter like ash, cinders, and volcanic rocks exploded into the air during an eruption, which then settle around the vent to form a steep-sided cone-shaped structure.

Where is volcanic ash found?

Volcanic ash can be found above the crater, around the volcano and even miles and miles away from the volcano, depending on the size of eruption. It will rise up into the sky and then either remain in the sky (for very fine ash particles) and be carried by high-altitude winds around for a certain period of time or fall to the ground almost immediately after the eruption.

What is the name Rock found around volcano that has erupted?

The rock commonly found around an erupted volcano is called "volcanic rock" or "igneous rock." Specifically, lava that cools and solidifies after an eruption can form various types of volcanic rocks, such as basalt or pumice. These rocks are often characterized by their porous texture and varied mineral composition, reflecting the conditions of the eruption.


By What process can the volcanic eruption affect temperatures around the world?

The sulfur cloud that comes out after a volcanic eruption covers the earth's atmosphere, stops much sunlight from reaching Earth, and makes the Earth colder by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius.
