With each eruption‚ volcanoes have the potential to eject large amounts of ash‚ gases‚ and sulfuric aerosols into the upper troposphere and stratosphere (Allen‚ 2015). Volcanism helped form Earth’s ancient climate and influences climate change in today’s world (Kasting‚ 1993). A recent example of a volcano influencing climate include the 1982 El Chichon eruption in Mexico‚ which is regarded as the largest volcanic disaster in modern Mexican history (Mass‚ 1989).
