Sunlight also drives many weather phenomena, save those generated by volcanic events.

The volcanic events starting in March 2010 are considered to be a single eruption divided into phases.

The program notifies all impacted agencies that have to deal with volcanic events.

Rapid burial followed volcanic events, and the fine sediment preserved details.

The investigators reconstruct the sequence of volcanic events as follows.

The eruption was one of the largest volcanic events on Earth in recorded history.

There was no increase in quake activity before the volcanic event.

Meanwhile, within the park boundary other volcanic events were taking place.

The original eruption, about 30,000 years ago, is one of the largest known volcanic events on Earth.

This volcanic event was also followed by a period of erosion, and likely one or more glacial periods.
