This image captured May 14, 2022, by NASA's Landsat 9, shows a plume of discolored water being emitted from the 'Sharkcano,' an underwater volcano that lies about 15 miles south of Vangunu Island.
A volcanic eruption is essentially the only natural way for short-lived – less than a few years – gases like sulfur dioxide and water vapor to make it into the stratosphere.
During the actual eruption, Italian authorities noted that ash had spewed a jaw-dropping 4.5 kilometers (or about 14,764 feet) in the air, eventually falling back to Earth, in the process impeding ...
These studies demonstrate how these eruptions can cause changes within the Earth's atmosphere. [24] Large eruptions can affect atmospheric temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obscure the Sun and cool Earth's troposphere. Historically, large volcanic eruptions have been followed by volcanic winters which have caused catastrophic ...
2010 : Due to an undersea eruption on February 3, eruptions and discolored water are observed in the surrounding area. [9] [10] 2013 : On September 27, observations by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Forces confirm a green discoloration of the sea surface and the eruption of white foam on the sea surface within a radius of 450 m (1,480 ft).

The transformation of St. Vincent commenced with a cracklike thunder followed by a storm of ash late last week. Within the passage of a day, the once vibrant city of Richmond Vale on the island of ...
The eruptions continued for roughly two million years and spanned the Permian–Triassic boundary, or P–T boundary, which occurred around 251.9 million years ago. The Siberian Traps are believed to be the primary cause of the Permian–Triassic extinction event , the most severe extinction event in the geologic record.
