Background. A volcanic eruption is caused by the ascent of molten rock from the mantle through the asnethophere up to Earthâs crust. Figure 1 is a diagram of a volcanic eruption event; it illustrates all the processes and byproducts that occur during an eruption event (USGS, 2010).uring a volcanic eruption a mixture of gases and particulates are expelled. The discharge of gases can also occur between major eruption events; volatile gases such as hydrogen fluorine(HF) and carbon monoxide(CO) trickle out of cracks and fissure along the surface of the volcano (SDSU, 2000).
While volcanoes emit poisonous fumes that originate from dissolved gases in the Earth's magma, these poisonous gases are only part of the concern associated with human activity. CO2 and other greenhouse gases are what I would imagine are of greater concern. Every year, human activities emit around 100 times more CO2 than volcanoes do in the same period of time (30 billion tons vs. 30 million tons -- to put it another way, 30,000,000,000 vs 300,000,000 tons -- that is A LOT of CO2). The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere is the highest it has been in about 15 million years.
