How did the described volcanoes in Iceland and the Philippines change the environment to lesser or greater extents?
What will be an ideal response?
The volcanic eruption in Iceland had less impact on humans and the environment compared to that in the Philippines because it did not have large lava flows and mudslides associated with it. However, the eruption in Iceland did cause the skies in the vicinity to be filled with ash (disrupting air traffic) and ash covered the ground, affecting grazing animals.
The eruption in the Philippines, thankfully, was predicted, and an evacuation of humans took place. It did, however, have destructive and long-term effects beyond those seen in Iceland because of the accompanying mudslides that it produced.
