Essential Question: How do volcanoes affect the climate? Investigation Question: How do volcanoes affect the energy coming in from the atmosphere?
Investigation 2 Claim:
When a volcano erupts it spews out tons of volcanic ash into the atmosphere that can block out the sun. Radiation from the sun will be absorbed by the atmosphere and reflect back into space to cool the planet. The Earth's surface will become colder because of the lack of conduction and convections that occurs.
Terms of Use:
Atmosphere, Troposphere, Stratosphere, Ozone Layer, Radiation, Conduction, Convection
