Questions to Ponder and Web Resources
How might a 1.5°C drop in temperature affect climate? Find news articles
from 1991 - 1992 that show how the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo affected the
global climate. Compare the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, the 1815 eruption
of Tambora, and the 1883 eruption of Krakatau. Read the "Year
without Summer" to see how Tambora affected weather.
Visit the USGS Volcanic Ash site that explains the effects of
ash and how to reduce its impacts.
