Ash in the sky reduces the amount of sun that can enter and leave the atmosphere. Because of this effect the temperature decreases on a global level.

• Climate ChangesASH

Ash transported by the Jet StreamThe ash from volcanic eruptions can be so plentiful that it can literally spread across the globe within hours.

Dragged by the jet stream and other winds, the ash will eventually create a covering that will shade the world from the sun and cause temperatures to decrease rapidly.

Should we live near Volcanoes?

Rising to a height of 3,329 meters (10,922 ft), Mount Etna towers over the plains and city of Catania in Sicily, Italy, and remains in a state of almost constant activity. One of its largest eruptions occurred in 1669 when lava flows reached the city walls of Catania, breaching them in one section and destroying structures.

Mount Etna, Has breached the city walls of Catania, Italy; at almost any moment this city could be destroyed forever.
