With proper planning, many of the worst effects of a volcano eruption can be avoided. Mount Spurr's past eruptions give insight into what could happen next. The volcano erupted in 1953 and again ...

Apart from this, it also has the potential to increase volcanic activity, affect the size of eruptions, and alter the “cooling effect” that follows volcanic eruptions. Any of these scenarios ...
