Scientists are carefully watching the eruption of Mount Agung, the Bali volcano that has spewed ash at least four miles into the sky (http://mashable.com/2017/11/26/bali-volcano-eruptions-indonesian-resort-island/) and is now shaking the popular vacation island with violent tremors.
These earthquakes may portend an even greater eruption, as massive amounts of pressurized, heated magma swirl beneath the volcano.*
Already, Mount Agung has affected the local populace, prompting evacuations and tainting the air. But explosive volcanoes like this one, which last had a major eruption in 1963, also have the potential to cool the global climate for one or two years.
