Question:

How can volcanic eruptions contribute to climate change?

Author: yxng.edxn



Answer:

When a volcano erupts, a large amount of sulphur dioxide and ash cloud is released into the atmosphere. The sulphur dioxide and ash clouds reflects nearly all radiation, reducing the amount of radiation entering the Earths atmosphere. Creating global cooling. But, the releasing of carbon dioxide has also created global warming due to it being a greenhouse gas.
