When was the loudest volcanic explosion and where?
The loudest volcanic explosion in recorded history was one produced during the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. This volcanic island, which collapsed into the sea after the eruption, was located between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.
Are craters volcanic bombs?
No. A crater is a circular depression in the ground formed by an impact or explosion. A volcano bomb is a blob of lava hurled out during a volcanic eruption.
Is the explosion of a volcano during an eclipse related to an eclipse?
They're independent, though the volcanic cloud might make things darker
How is wild fire made during an volcanic explosion?
During the eruption very hot gases are released, lava, hot rock fragments which in contact with dry vegetation causes fires.
What is a rock consisting of angular fragments embedded in finer matrix formed by volcanic activity?
A rock consisting of angular fragments embedded in a finer matrix formed by volcanic activity is called a volcanic breccia. This type of rock is created when fragments of volcanic material are ejected during an explosion, then subsequently lithified into a solid rock.
Why do you die of suffocation during a volcanic explosion?
During a volcanic explosion, ash and volcanic gases are released into the air. Breathing in these gases, such as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide, can lead to suffocation by displacing the oxygen in the air and causing respiratory failure. Additionally, the hot ash and pyroclastic flows can burn and damage the lungs, further contributing to suffocation.
What major events took place during the Triassic period?
Big volcanic explosion kills all of the dinosaurs.Plants started growing 248 million years ago.
How does volcanic ash form?
Volcanic ash forms as a result of gas trapped in magma. As the magma approaches the surface and pressure drops, the gas is released and expands violently. The explosion blasts the magma into small particles, which become volcanic ash.
What is volcanic throat?
it is the upperpart of the volcanic chimney during an eruption it is the upperpart of the volcanic chimney during an eruption
Is a volcanic explosion a chemical reaction?
Explosions may or may not represent a chemical change. A stick of TNT going off is a chemical explosion. A compressed gas cylinder with a failing weld that blows up while being filled is a mechanical explosion. In the case of a volcano, the cause of the explosion is mechanical. We take a page from physics to answer this question. It is a buildup of pressure caused by heating of the magma (which may include gases and water) that causes the violent release of energy that we observe.
Magma that is rejected during a volcanic eruption forms igneous rocks?
Magma that is ejected during a volcanic eruption forms extrusive igneous rocks. They are also referred to as volcanic rocks.
When did Mt Pinatubo erupted?
Mount Pinatubo erupted on June, 15 1991. Its Volcanic Explosivity Index was a 6 and the explosion happened between 450 - 500 years after its last eruption. After the explosion there was a decrease in temperature due to the 15 million tons of Sulphur Dioxide that was released during the explosion. The explosion happened at 13:42 at local time and the blast lasted for a whole 9 hours.Caldrea was created as the summit of Mt. Pinabtubo collapsed, where as numerous large earthquakes were caused.
