How do volcanoes affect the atmosphere and climate?
During an eruption there is often a lot of rain, lighting, and thunder. This happens because all the ash particles that are thrown up into the air are good at collecting water droplets. Another problem is that it forms in a fog or volcanic fog. If the volcanic fog only gets into the troposphere it gets washed away with the rain. Most of the particles that come from volcanoes and go to the atmosphere cool the planet by shading incoming solar radiation. The cooling effect can last up to month’s even years; it all depends on how big the eruption was. Volcano eruptions have caused global warming over the past millions of years in Earth’s history, when big eruptions occur causing to release greenhouse
