Comments (3) on “Why did the Mt. Pinatubo eruption result in global temperatures dropping almost two degrees?”
The troposphere which is a sphere where rain activity happens and where cool climates occur once the eruption started the volcanic ashes reached the troposphere and cooled the volcanic ruins
In the case of Mount Pinatubo, the result was a measurable cooling of the Earth's surface for a period of almost two years. Because they scatter and absorb incoming sunlight, aerosol particles exert a cooling effect on the Earth's surface.
Mt. Pinatubo is particularly well-known because of the explosion of 1991. This explosion ejected an enormous amount of minerals and toxic metals to the surface environment. The aerosols that were released formed a global layer of sulfuric acid haze, leading to a drop in temperatures worldwide. Moreover, ozone depletion temporarily saw a substantial increase.
