The eruption of a volcano can be impressive, but it’s also one of the most terrifying natural occurrences on the planet. During a volcanic eruption, lava and gas are violently expelled from the volcano. The most dangerous version of this eruption is when a “Glowing Avalanche” occurs. ...
Strong earthquakes can be extremely dangerous. The earth's shaking may cause landslides or even rupture the surface of the ground. When saturated loose soils lose their stiffness and form, liquefaction occurs, and the ground collapses like a liquid. What is the longest earthquake ever recorded? A...
A supermoon is more common and simply refers to any full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90% of its closest approach to Earth, according to NASA. There will be four supermoons in a row this year: Aug. 19, Sept. 17, Oct. 17, and Nov. 15. The closest supe...
The shaking that occurs when magma moves beneath the surface is called a. columnar vibrations. b. basalt accumulation. c. volcanic tremor. d. cratering. e. fissure eruption. What do you understand by the free convection boundary layer and how does it affect heat trans...
If you look at narrower bands of latitude, the "step function" you have identified occurs between 70ºS and 55ºS. Another feature of such analysis is the decreasing interannual variation with increasing latitude. The variation is strongly linked toENSO. I would guess most of the "step fu...
When a lunar eclipse occurs and our lone satellite inches into Earth's shadow, the moon's face becomes painted red. Here's why.
Occurs in the center of the batholith, where it makes up the summit of Mt. Stuart and the southern bulwark of the Enchantments including Little Annapurna. My little knitted “alien” friends perched on a stack of tonalite and quartz diorite rocks forming a cairn, with the huge quartz ...
And that is with the same model of plane, directly overhead, and right next to each other. A situation that almost never occurs. If the planes are different, or separated, or at an angle to you, then it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to tell the relative altitudes when they are high in the...
When the 2050 conversion occurs, those in the smaller dot of light will move to the larger side of light and those currently in the larger side of darkness will move to the small dark spot, where they will be constantly observed and kept in check. There is an obscure old saying that re...
Muscle damage that occurs during exercise and leads to soreness can also trigger growth, lending credence to the phrase "no pain, no gain." But if you're not used to working out or if you complete high-intensity training, muscles can incur too much damage and a significant amount ...
