This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Mt. pinatubo2, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere HCl, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere sulfur-rich gases (SO2), tephra injection into stratosphere volcanic ash, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) aerosols (mist) that scatter and absorb sunlight (solar radiation), cloud veil reflects & absorbs sunlight (solar radiation), 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo ejected tephra, short-term ozone loss losses of 50% over the Antarctic, sunlight (solar radiation) reducing energy reaching the lower atmosphere & Earth's surface, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) aerosols (mist) that can alter chlorine and nitrogen compounds in upper atmosphere, cooling of troposphere resulted in mean world temps decreased by about 1 degree Centigrade over next 2 years, short-term ozone loss losses of 15-20% at high altitudes, HCl condenses w/water vapor to form acid rain, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere CO2, HCl interacted with chlorine & bromine bearing compounds from human-made CFCs, tephra fell to surface blocks & bombs, tephra fell to surface lapilli, sulfur-rich gases (SO2) combine w/water vapor to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4) aerosols (mist), chlorine & bromine bearing compounds from human-made CFCs caused short-term ozone loss, energy reaching the lower atmosphere & Earth's surface temporarily resulting in cooling of troposphere, volcanic ash produces cloud veil
