Volcanoes cause a change in immediate weather resulting in cloudcover, rain and lightning. This is due to the property that the volcanic ash particles have; i.e. they promote the production of rain particles at a molecular level. There are also long term climatic effects of volcanic eruptions which are harder to understand. If the ash reaches the stratusphere it cannot be diminished by rain and therefore contributes to the greenhouse or warming sex. Obviously there are also immediate physical damages caused by the lavaflows and acid seeping into surrounding water but this damage is relatively small in comparison to the climatic significance of Volcanoes Electricity and even telephone supplies can be cut off because of the large explotion that has caused a strong vibration............................
A destructive result of a volcanic eruption is what the lava does to the surrounding plant life; no plants can stand the hot temperature of molten lava, and generally die even before coming in contact with the substance.
A constructive result of a volcanic eruption comes when the volcano is out at sea or at least on an island; the lava, when it flows into the sea and cools over a period of time will eventually become another landmass, which is how Hawaii was probably formed.
CONSTRUCTIVE EFFECTS OF VOLCANOES
It helps release the stored energy inside the earth
The destructive effects of volcanic ash much outweigh the constructive effects. Significant amounts of volcanic ash can immediately destroy most of a local ecosystem, as well as the collapse of roofs on man-made structures. In addition, ash can become so dense that it can block sunlight, lowering temperatures and causing power outages/breakdown of communication. In addition, ash can be very hazardous to humans, especially if it is in the form of a pyroclastic flow. Pyroclastic flows are 'avalanches' of hot ash, gases and rocks that flow at high speeds, deadly to the touch and often unable to outrun. Finally, planes are unable to fly through ash clouds, due to the blinding and debilitating capabilities of it. However, over time ashfall can lead to the creation of very fertile soils.
Rain,Volcanoes and Hurricanes are both destructive and constructive. RAIN: constructive: plant growth and water for animals. destructive: flooding and erosion VOLCANOES: constructive: new earth surface. destructive: lava flow and ash cloud. HURRICANES: constructive: rain and reduction of gases in the air. destructive: winds and flooding.
A volcano is typically considered a constructive force in geology because it builds up land through the deposition of lava, ash, and other volcanic materials. However, volcanic activity can also be destructive due to eruptions, which can cause widespread damage and reshape the landscape.
Water can be a constructive force by shaping landforms through erosion and deposition, but it can also be destructive in the form of floods and tsunamis. Wind can create sand dunes and reshape landscapes constructively, but it can also lead to destructive forces such as hurricanes and tornadoes. Volcanoes can build new landforms like islands through lava flows, but they can also cause destruction through eruptions, ash fall, and volcanic gases. Earthquakes can create mountains and valleys through tectonic activity, but they can also be destructive in terms of ground shaking, tsunamis, and landslides.
No. While volcanic ash can have a basaltic composition, it usually does not. Basalt forms from lava. Volcanic ash forms tuff.
Tephra consists of volcanic ash, cinders, and volcanic bombs. Tephra is ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions and can vary in size from tiny ash particles to large volcanic bombs.

Volcanic craters and ash deposits are surface features typically formed by destructive processes such as volcanic eruptions. These events can shape the landscape by spewing ash and lava, creating new landforms like craters and volcanic cones through their destructive force.
A volcanic eruption can be a constructive force by creating new land through the accumulation of lava and volcanic ash, leading to the formation of new landmasses and islands. The minerals and nutrients provided by volcanic ash can enrich the soil, making it fertile for agriculture. Additionally, volcanic eruptions contribute to the chemical and physical processes that help shape the Earth's surface and maintain its dynamic balance.

Volcanic ash can block out the sun and cause temporary cold climates.

Volcanic ash can cause lung problems from breathing the ash in.
The scientific term for a volcanic ash cloud is "volcanic ash plume" or "volcanic ash cloud." When a volcano erupts, it releases ash, gases, and other volcanic material into the atmosphere, creating a plume that can pose hazards to aircraft, human health, and the environment.
The local and global effects of volcanic eruptions include toxic ash 'rain', that pollutes streams, rivers, and chemically alters ground water sources as well as soil.
