How Do Volcanoes Influence the Climate?

Volcanoes are like giant fire-breathing dragons that can change the weather. When they erupt, they send smoke and dust into the sky, which acts like a blanket that cools the Earth. This makes it colder for years. Sometimes it even causes unusual weather, like snow in summer!
