Volcanic eruptions can lead to extinctions through several mechanisms, primarily by releasing vast amounts of ash and gases like sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere. This can result in climate changes, such as global cooling or acid rain, which devastate ecosystems. Additionally, lava flows and pyroclastic flows can obliterate habitats and directly kill organisms. The combination of these factors can disrupt food chains and lead to widespread species loss.
