How far has the ash spread in Iceland?
The volcanic ash spreaded through iceland then France then Spain then England and most of it was in Oxford!
What are Ash Eruption?
Ash eruptions are when a volcano emits lots of ash and rock instead of lave and throughs them really high into the air and depending on the type of volcano really far as well.
What is a ashcloud?
Ash Cloud: A cloud formed from tiny ash particles and gases blasted from the volcano. Wind can carry ash thousands of miles, affecting far greater areas and many more people than other volcano hazards
What are two factors that can affect the distance that volcanic ash can travel?
The blast of the volcano, the wind, and how light the ash is all affect how far it will travel.
How do you prepare for a volcano explosion?
-Avoid areas downstream of the volcano-Listen to emergency information and alerts-Protect yourself from falling ash-evacuate ASAP-Avoid crossing bridges
Why did the volcanic eruption in Iceland stopped flights over in the UK?
Plane engines are like any machine. If you get enough dust in it (or in this case, ash), then they is a high possibility that they may stop working. Whenever there is an eruption, air activity is ceased until it is deemed safe to resume. Even though the volcano was not in the UK, the ash and soot from the volcano, depending on weather conditions, could have easily traveled that far. It is better to be safe and cancel flights than to try and risk it and have engines fail while in the air.
How hot was the ash and mud spewing from Mt. Vesuvius?
It depends on how far it has traveled. Ash fresh out of a volcano may be as hot as 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. Ash that has fallen from high in the atmosphere will be the same temperature as its environment.
What is farthest north nova scotia or iceland?
Iceland, by far.
How far is Germany to Iceland by train?
You cannot get to Iceland by train. It is an island.
IS THE ICELAND IN THE SOUTHEN HEMISPHERE?
Iceland is in the far north of the Northern Hemisphere.
How can there be snow on erupting volcanoes?
In some cases hot gasses, lava, and ash do not make it very far from the vent or rise above the volcano before they have a chance to melt much snow.
Does the Yellowstone volcano lava go to pennslyvanna?
No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.
