- Hydrosphere: a volcanic eruption can pollute nearby bodies of water which can harm or animals that live in the water or drink the water. The water supply can be damaged for people who drink from it.
- Geosphere: the magma from the volcano pushes rocks to the surface creating lava. Lava and ash can change the landscape.
- Atmosphere: the gases mix into the atmosphere. Ash also mixes into the atmosphere and settles on the ground later.
- Biosphere: Lava destroys and living thing in its path. The ash also will cover plants which causes the plants to suffocate and die.

A vent or hole in the surface of the earth when this erupts it may release gasses from inside the earth?
You are describing a volcano. When a volcano erupts, it releases gases, ash, and lava from deep within the Earth's crust through vents or openings in the surface. This process can result in various volcanic hazards and eruptions can be explosive or effusive depending on the type of volcano.
Is a crater in a volcano a material or part in a volcano?
A crater is not a separate material or part of a volcano. It is a depression or hollow at the summit of a volcano that forms when the volcano erupts and releases magma, gases, and other materials. The crater is a result of the collapse or expulsion of material during the eruption.
A volcano which no longer erupts is called a?
deader than a door nail!!! It's dormant or inactive.
What to do when a volcano erupts in your backyard?
If a volcano erupts in your backyard, evacuate immediately to a safe location outside of the danger zone. Follow the instructions of local authorities and stay updated on emergency alerts. Do not attempt to approach or interact with the volcano as it can be extremely dangerous.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by?
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.
