Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sulphur is particularly abundant in volcanoes and when it is released into the atmosphere, it can form sulphur dioxide gas. This gas can react with water vapour and other chemicals to form sulphate aerosols, which can stay in the atmosphere for years and reflect sunlight back into space. This can lead to a cooling effect on the Earth's surface and can have a significant impact on global climate.
