Causes and effects essay for volcanic eruptions (please answer asap it’s due today)

Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. 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.

It is already known that volcanic eruption can cause cooling effects on earth by throwing sulfuric acid droplets and ash particles into the atmosphere that eventually block sunlight. Volcanic eruption ejects sulfur dioxide gas into the atmosphere. Sulfur dioxide mixed with water resulting into sulfuric acid haze thus forming volcanic winter that reflect and block incoming sunlight. This causes cooling effect in the earth. Now research also has unfolded that the reverse is true. It is evident that volcano eruption can cause increased in global temperature that eventually cause global warming. Volcanoes can cause the global climate over several years, though it must be accompanied by volcanic eruption of sulfate aerosols into the atmosphere. This paper aims to examine how huge volcanic eruptions can cause impact of short-term climatic cooling. The paper also studies effects of volcanic eruption on environment and how prevalent volcanism may lead to global warming.
