Abstract
Volcano causes major changes in the Earth’s atmosphere, and hence this chapter covers various influences it inflicts to the climate of Earth that involve both the stratosphere and troposphere. The different time scales of influence are also covered. Names of major volcanos in the last 250 years are mentioned. Few other areas also addressed are polar warming associated with large eruption and the combined influence of the Sun, volcano and ENSO.
