8.11A Natural Events and Climate Change

How do volcanic eruptions influence climate?

• They decrease the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface.

• They increase the Earth's temperature by releasing heat.

• They have no effect on the climate.

• They cause immediate cooling by releasing cold gases.
