- Exploring the Role of Volcanic Ash in Climate Regulation
Volcanic ash, a fine particulate matter, is a byproduct of volcanic eruptions composed of minuscule fragments of rock and glass When volcanoes erupt, they release vast amounts of ash into the atmosphere, significantly influencing climate and weather
