what are the harmful effects that volcanoes have on the environment?

Answer 1

You will find out very soon as there is two volcanos in the world about to erupt, one is in Indonesia and is already spewing lava and the other in Central Luzon in the Philippines. The last volcano that erupted in Philippines was Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and proved to be the worst volcano in the last 500 years and altered the worlds weather for over three years and killed 800 bodies retrieved but estimated death toll was 5000. The volcano in Bulucan is giving off smoke at the moment and people within 5 kilometers have been evacuated. Keep watching the news

Answer 2

In the early 1800s, Mount Krakatoa exploded and emitted millions of tons of ash into the atmosphere. The ash caused the sunlight to be obscured to some degree and cause darker sunsets. A scientific theory is that volcanic activity may have caused the mini ice age of the middle ages and studies have found volcanic ash in layers of snow that would be from that period. Another theory has it that some cataclysm caused immense widespread volcanic activity that brought on the ice age that killed the dinosuars. You can see from these theories and the Krakatoa explosion that volcanic activity has worldwide weather effects and might cause an abrupt and drastic change in all areas of life on the planet.

basically and easily placed, the Greenhouse result isn't something yet CO2 turning out to be into the ambience and destroying the ozone layer. Which, in turn, is letting the photograph voltaic rays enter Earth's environment at present, inflicting temperatures to upward thrust devoid of delay.

Answer 4

also an obvious danger if not dormant, an eruption can also cause earthquakes from the plates moving

Answer 5
