There is a volcano erupting in Iceland because of a fault that runs through the region.
This volcano is grounding air traffic because it sent so much volcanic ash into the atmosphere that its disrupting the planes engines, putting them at risk of crashing. Another negative effect of the eruption is the disruption to the local ecosystems and agriculture.
The volcano isn't affecting the United States because of its location and wind patterns.
