GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What might happen if a major volcanic eruption occurred every year? Global temperatures might rise by several degrees. The earth’s crust might be depleted of rocks.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sulfur from Volcanoes The sulfur dioxide moves into the stratosphere and combines with water to form sulfuric acid aerosols. The sulfuric acid makes a haze of tiny droplets in the stratosphere that reflects incoming solar radiation, causing cooling of the Earth’s surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanic eruptions of this magnitude can impact global climate, reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface, lowering temperatures in the troposphere, and changing atmospheric circulation patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -Further effects are the deterioration of water quality, fewer periods of rain, crop damages, and the destruction of vegetation. During volcanic eruptions and their immediate aftermath, increased respiratory system morbidity has been observed as well as mortality among those affected by volcanic eruptions.
