Ejecta from volcanoes (ash and debris) can cause erosion. Sometimes ash flow may fill up or push out lakes, and all that water can contribute to mudslide erosion.
Typically, however, volcanic ash deposits are the opposite of erosion as the volcano builds a cinder cone, and eruptions of molten rock solidify to make new layers of rock.
Landslides are most often associated with stratovolcanoes. These are steep-sided volcanoes with slopes composed partly of loose ash deposits. This setup is fairly unstable. Volcanoes are capable of producing earthquakes, which can trigger landslides. In some cases, magma moving inside a volcano can cause it to change shape slightly, which can destabilize an otherwise stable slope.
Earthquakes can crumble and fracture rock structures, exposing more of their surface to weathering and erosion.

How do volcanoes contribute to weathering and erosion?
They Don't
How does the landscape change around a volcanoes over many years?
I believe by weathering and erosion. What do you believe?
What do you think will happen to the amount of volcanoes and what impact will it have on farming?
The amount of volcanoes will tend to increase, which will impact farming in a negative way by decreasing the amount of available farmland.
Was the okefenokee swamp created by destructive force erosion weathering impact of organisms earthquake volcano?
The Okefenokee Swamp was formed by a combination of weathering and erosion processes over thousands of years, primarily due to the accumulation of organic material and the presence of a low-lying basin. It was not directly created by destructive forces like earthquakes, volcanoes, or impacts of organisms.
What is the title of a person that studies volcanoes?
A person who studies volcanoes is called a volcanologist. They specialize in understanding the behavior, formation, and impact of volcanoes on the Earth's surface.
How do volcanoes contribute to weathering and erosion?
They Don't
What forces wears away at the earth's surfaces is it a. weathering b.deposition c.earthquakes d. volcanoes?
weathering
How are earthquakes volcanoes and asteroid strikes different from weathering and erosion?
Weathering and erosion change the surface of the earth very slowly. Earthquakes, volcanoes and asteroids change the surface immediately.
Does mercury have volcanoes and craters?
Mercury has impact craters but not volcanoes.
Are Dams constructive or destructive?
volcanoes, erosion, weathering and deposition
How do humans impact weathering?
by studying it
What type of tectonic plate movement can cause the formation of mountains trenches or volcanoes?
weathering and erosion

What are the main causes for the development of volcanoes and mountains and earthquake?
1. Weathering 2. Erosion 3. Deposition
How do volcanoes impact Japan?
they impact it by making japan look cool and lets them feel vibrations
