Volcanic Emissions

Volcanic emissions refer to the gases, ash, and liquids released during a volcanic eruption. These emissions primarily include water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and various other gases. Ash consists of tiny rock and mineral fragments that can be blown into the atmosphere, affecting air quality and climate. When volcanoes erupt, they can impact surroundings and lead to phenomena like acid rain, climate cooling, or even health hazards for nearby populations. Understanding volcanic emissions is crucial for assessing risks and developing monitoring strategies to protect communities and ecosystems.
