Explanation:

Volcanic eruption can enormously contribute to the factors that initiate global warming through release of harmful gases to the atmosphere. These gases collectively form a blanket-like cover in the atmosphere that prevent heat escape to the atmosphere from the earth. Result is accumulation of heat on earth and not only leads to extreme temperatures but also harsh climatic conditions that devastate farming activities. When farming is compromised, hunger is inevitable.
