Question
The model shows how a volcanic eruption affects Earth's atmosphere.
Information
A model of a volcanic eruption.Short description, A model of a volcanic eruption.,Long description,
When a volcano erupts, it emits Ash, which is made up of Upper S Upper O subscript 2, Upper C Upper O subscript 2, Upper H Upper C l, and Upper H Upper F.
The Upper S Upper O subscript 2 eventually becomes Upper H subscript 2 Upper S Upper O subscript 4, which forms a layer between the troposphere and stratosphere.
Albedo occurs off the Upper H subscript 2 Upper S Upper O subscript 4 layer, resulting in ozone destruction.
Upper H Upper C l reflects off the Upper H subscript 2 Upper S Upper O subscript 4 layer and back up to the stratosphere, resulting in ozone destruction.
Dispersion occurs off the Upper H subscript 2 Upper S Upper O subscript 4 layer.
Acid rain falls from the immediate volcanic emissions.
Below the Upper H subscript 2 Upper S Upper O subscript 4 layer, Cirrus cloud nucleation occurs.
Question
According to the model, how does a volcanic eruption affect the flow of energy in the atmosphere?
Answer options with 4 options
A.
Eruptions release sulfur that forms compounds that reflect more of the Sun's energy back toward space.
B.
Eruptions cause acid rain that thins the ozone layer and allows more energy from the Sun to enter the atmosphere.
C.
Eruptions cause greenhouse gases to condense around ash particles and fall out of the atmosphere, allowing more energy to leave Earth systems.
D.
Eruptions release hot gases that increase evaporation of ground water into the troposphere, causing the formation of clouds that absorb more energy from the Sun.

The correct answer is:
A. Eruptions release sulfur that forms compounds that reflect more of the Sun's energy back toward space.
This option aligns with the information provided in the model, which describes how volcanic eruptions emit sulfur compounds (e.g., SO2) that contribute to the formation of a layer that reflects solar energy, leading to an increase in albedo and reflecting more energy back into space.
