Effects of the Icelandic Volcano

   The eruption of the Icelandic Volcano has caused many effects all around the world. The first effect was serious local flooding, also westerly winds have spread the volcano's ash plume across much of Europe and as a result, grounding thousands of airline flights, general distress and wonderment. Furthermore, the eruption sent sulfuric ash into the stratosphere , so it reflected enough light to cool global ground temperatures by about 1 degreee Fahrenheit for the next two years. This eruption caused scientists to suggest to intentionally distribute sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere as a solution to global warming.

Effects of the Icelandic volcano eruption

According to Stephen J. Dubner at his article about icelandic volcano, inform us about impacts and future effects that can have. The first effect is that, the volcano has produced serious local flooding.Also westerly winds have spread the volcano's ash plume across Europe.This caused the grounding of thousands of airline flights and causing general distress and wonderment.Another effect was the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions because when it is sprayed so much sulfuric ash into the stratosphere that it reflected enough sunlight to cool global ground temperatures by about 1 degree Fahrenheit for the next tow years.Finally this Phenomenon embraced the scientists to research new methods for the cool down of the Planet Earth.In addition this Phenomenon can happen anytime and nobody can control it.

Eyjafjoll Eruption

 

Eyjafjoll is a volcano in southern Iceland, which has recently erupted and had a lot of effects in the earth. First of all it has produced serious local flooding. As a result of westerly winds have spread the volcano ash plume across Europe, which effect grounding thousands of airline flights and causing general distress and wonderment. Another effect that is possible to happen is the change of global ground temperature, as it happened in the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines in 1991. In conclusion, volcano eruptions effects the nature and our everyday life.

Volcano Eruption in Iceland

Recently, a volcano in Iceland known as Eyjafjoll has erupted and became quite famous because of its effects worldwide. More specifically, it caused serious local flooding. What is more, due to westerly winds, the volcano's ash plume has been spread across Europe, causing a general distress and the cancelling of flights all around the contintent. However, this eruption might prove useful in the future, as some scientists claim that sulfuric ash can be sent into the stratosphere and cool the planet, solving the Earth's overheating. Others believe that this eruption wasn't big enough for this but it was a precursor to a larger eruption that could probably affect the climate. This event may be the proof that good things can result from bad ones.

Effects of the volcano eruption

The Eyjafjoll volcano,located in southern Iceland, erupted on the 14th of April 2010. From this eruption Eyjafjoll has effected Europe in many ways.First effect was the fact that it produced serious local flooding throughout Iceland. Second effect which made international news was the spreading of the volcano's ash plume across much of Europe. This lead to thousands of airline flights cancelations. By the same reason this caused general distress and wonderment thoughout the world. Another possible effect was the cooling effect to the globe by the sulfuric ash which was distributed into the stratosphere. This reflected enough sunlight to cool global ground temperature by 1 degree Fahrenheit. The final possible effect is that this volcanic eruption is a precursor to another larger eruption which will cause bigger climate effects. By these effects we can see that our globe climate will suffer for many years to come.
