    Explanation:

    Volcanic eruptions spew large amounts of dust particles from their surroundings into the atmosphere. Accompanying eruptions are also materials like volcanic ash and gases. These gases contribute immensely to the reserve of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

    Gases in volcanoes are responsible to a large extent for their explosivity when an eruption occurs. The more the gases, the more explosive a volcano can be. These gases are rich in carbon dioxide, methane, etc. A vast number of them are greenhouse gases.

    Dust particles also accompany an eruption. These dust can be suspended for an extended period in the atmosphere by the wind.
