%X This paper examines possible connections between
volcanic eruptions and their consequences on the weather. Gas emissions, such
as CO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> and SO</span><sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">2</span></sub><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">,</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">are vital in the troposphere and change temperatures on Earth¡¯s surface.
The water vapor discharges can be moved for three atmospheric layers creating
extra atmospheric rivers and disrupting the Polar vortex. All those deviations
will bring consequences to the weather. It depends on the intensity, the
emission type, the kind of volcano, and the location. Then, eruptions can
change the atmospheric layers with sudden fluctuations unexpected for the
season.
