What challenges does a vulcanologist face?

VOLCANO'S! They face tha danger of ash, lava, toxic gases, pyroclastic flows and slide planes.


Which volcano hazard can be dangerous to passing sir planes due to its fine, abrasive quality?

Volcano ash hazard can be dangerous.


How does the volcanic ash stop the planes?

When volcanic ash enters a jet engine, it melts in the intense heat and re-solidifies inside the engine as glass. The glass then clogs the engine. Ash particles also scrath the cockpit windows, making it hard to see.


What is volcanic ash to aviation agony?

Volcanic ash might be said to be the cause of or the precursor to aviation agony. Agony is generally the suffering on a large scale by an individual or a group. With that in mind, let's look at the situation more closely.The ash presents a danger to the safe operation of a jet engine, and aircraft cannot fly safely through air that has large amounts of volcanic ash suspended in it. Airline people know this, and flights are rerouted or simply cancelled due to the inability of aircraft to fly safely through airspace heavily contaminated with ash. This frustrates passengers, who have then become stranded. The airline workers are frustrated, too, because planes need to fly to earn money. The passengers and the airline industry workers may suffer greatly (agonize) over the inability to have aircraft in the air because of volcanic ash. And we might see aviation agonyset in.


What problems can a volcanic ash cause?

Volcanic ash can clog the throat and damage the eyes and lungs. The weight of it can bring town trees and roofs. When mixed with water it can form deadly mudflows called lahars. It shorts out electrical circuits and can clog and damage the engines of cars and planes, potentially causing planes to crash.

How does volcanic ash affect the planes?

The greatest hazard occurs with ash sucked into jet engines. The ash melts in the heat of the engine and resolidifies as solid glass inside the engine, clogging it and causing it to stall, potentially resulting in a crash. Ash also scratches the surface of the plane, including the windshield, reducing visibility.
