    FAQs about volcanic eruptions

    Description
    This resource answers questions about the relationships between different volcanoes and between earthquakes and volcanoes. Can an eruption at one volcano trigger an eruption at another nearby volcano? Is there evidence for a cause and effect relationship between eruptions that occur at about the same time from volcanoes located hundreds to thousands of km apart? Is there a relationship between large earthquakes (>M 6) that occur along major fault zones and nearby volcanic eruptions? The FAQ is provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

    Volcanoes and their effect on climate: Climatic Research Unit information sheet 13

    Description
    Explosive volcanic eruptions can have a major influence on global and regional climate. This information sheet introduces the pollution effects of a large scale volcanic eruption and the effect on climate, and gives examples of recently monitored eruptions, including the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, June 1991. Illustrations and graphs are also included. This is one of a series of information sheets from the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, England.
