and protect your families also in the event of a volcanic eruption. If you live in an area which has an active volcano, even if it might be up to 100 miles away, there is still a risk because a volcano can erupt at any

Composite volcanoes can erupt with explosive results. The reason is that their andesite lava is cooler and much thicker than basalt lava, allowing them to capture large quantities of gas. These gas pockets create massive explosions when the volcano erupts, like popping the cork on a bottle of c...
volcano that is not erupting but is supposed to erupt again in examples Mauna Kea in Hawaii and Mount Fuji in Japan extinct volcano it means it hasn't erupted in a very long time so it probably won't ever erupt again an example is the Deccan Traps in India and Mount Kilimanjaro in Tan...
Jan 13, 2021 Permalink Rather similar to contemporaneous TV-film "Volcano: Fire On The Mountain I saw the TV-movie I mentioned when I was in Dallas (PRIOR to release of "Dante's Peak"). The plots of the two are rather similar: (1) both cases, a long-inactive volcano in a nice sp...
The giant caldera is the product of large-scale collapse of the crust after 3 so-called ultra-Plinian or super-volcano eruptions - large explosive events that erupt several hundreds to few thousands of cubic km of magma. These eruptions took place 2.1, 1.3 and 0.64 million years ago. ...
Just like magmatic volcanoes, they can erupt powerfully and hurl flames to great heights (sometimes even several hundred of meters). They spew out millions of cubic meters of hydrocarbon gases and tons of mud. Mud volcanoes also exist on the floor of the sea and can form islands and banks...
(Georgalas1953) or possibly insufficient overpressure to drive the magma to the surface. As a result, the latter can finally erupt when the magmatic excess pressure can be built up later in the magma chamber and trigger a new dyke which can overcome the tensile strength (To) of the ...
so fast it can travel uphill. You cannot outrun it. If you were one kilometre away, the flow would reach you in just five seconds. The ash in the air will scald your lungs and make it almost impossible to breathe. Temperatures in the flow can reach up to 1,000oC, so your flesh ...
Look at our homemade volcano erupt! Add a couple of drops of food coloring to the vinegar. Then pour the colored vinegar into your bottle (using a funnel if necessary) and watch the reaction happen! Why the Volcano Erupts This easy volcano experiment for kids is based on a simple chemical...
