Volcanoes & Climate

In this episode, I talk about how volcanic eruptions can affect climate - by releasing ash, gas, and aerosols.  We talk about the role of CO2 and SO2 and what effect they may have.   I talked specifically about Pinatubo, Tambora, and the Laki eruptions.I also mention an activity available for GEOetc Members called Climeworld that members can download and use in their classrooms to show students how the volcano's location can affect climates in different hemispheres.Visit our GEOetc Members Section - Over 100 teaching resources that are classroom-ready to help you teach Earth science.
