The effects of acidic rain and snow, the precipitation caused by tephra discharges into the atmosphere, can be seen for years after the eruptions have stopped. Tephra eruptions can affect ecosystems from miles to kilometers depending on the size of the eruption. Mikabella95 (talk) 01:59, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
