Detailed explanation-1: -Summers were cold and cloudy. Snow fell and lakes froze, even in June! All this because a volcano erupted!"
Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanic eruptions can profoundly change the landscape, initially through both destructive (flank failure and caldera formation) and constructive (lava flows, domes, and pyroclastic deposits) processes, which destroy vegetation and change the physical nature of the surface (e.g., porosity, permeability, and chemistry).
Detailed explanation-3: -When volcanoes erupt they can spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava and rock that can cause disastrous loss of life and property, especially in heavily populated areas. Volcanic activities and wildfires affected 6.2 million people and caused nearly 2400 deaths between 1998-2017.
Detailed explanation-4: -Particles of Dust and Ash. Volcanic ash or dust released into the atmosphere during an eruption shade sunlight and cause temporary cooling. Sulfur from Volcanoes. Often, erupting volcanoes emit sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. Greenhouse Gases Emitted by Volcanoes.
