This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Mt. pinatubo2_ATM, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere sulfur-rich gases (SO2), tephra fell to surface blocks & bombs, cooling of troposphere resulted in mean world temps decreased by about 1 degree Centigrade over next 2 years, CO2 slightly contributes to global warming, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere CO2, energy reaching the lower atmosphere & Earth's surface temporarily resulting in cooling of troposphere, chlorine & bromine bearing compounds from human-made CFCs caused short-term ozone loss, sulfur-rich gases (SO2) combine w/water vapor to produce sulfuric acid (H2SO4) aerosols (mist), short-term ozone loss losses of 50% over the Antarctic, tephra injection into stratosphere volcanic ash, volcanic ash produces cloud veil, HCl interacted with chlorine & bromine bearing compounds from human-made CFCs, short-term ozone loss losses of 15-20% at high altitudes, sunlight (solar radiation) reducing energy reaching the lower atmosphere & Earth's surface, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo ejected tephra, 1991 Eruption of Mt. Pinatubo injection into stratosphere HCl, cooling of troposphere temporarily offsets global warming, chlorine and nitrogen compounds in upper atmosphere that can contribute to short-term ozone loss, sulfuric acid (H2SO4) aerosols (mist) that scatter and absorb sunlight (solar radiation), cloud veil reflects & absorbs sunlight (solar radiation)
