Question

Which explains what earth’s climate would be like if massive dust and ash from multiple volcanic eruptions would travel high into the atmosphere and around the world?


A.
The dust and ash would block heat energy from the sun from reaching the surface, and the earth's climate would become cooler.


B.
The dust and ash would block heat energy from the sun from reaching the surface, and the earth's climate would become warmer.


C.
The dust and ash would absorb more heat energy from the sun into space, and the earth's climate would become cooler.


D.
The dust and a

Answer 2

i believe its d.

Answer 3

That is incorrect, when a large volcano erupts or multiple we can see cooling of the earth.

Answer 4

sso c then

Answer 5

??

Answer 6

Well before you decide between the two let me explain something, when volcanoes erupt they emit certain gases and chemicals, ash, and such. Some of these reflect sunlight off of the earth, where others such as co2 help warm the earth after a volcano. Now I believe it depends on the time we are speaking, for example a large volcano eruption might cool the earth slightly for a year but a hundred years down the road it might be slightly warmer.

Answer 7

So I would go with A as my guess.

Answer 8

how sure are you

Answer 9

I am looking at an artical from the USGS.Gov to confirm what I thought and it states "The aerosols increase the reflection of radiation from the Sun back into space, cooling the Earth's lower atmosphere or troposphere. Several eruptions during the past century have caused a decline in the average temperature at the Earth's surface of up to half a degree"

Answer 10

ok then can you do one more

Answer 11

Sure.
