Eruption

I found a recent article on Astronomy Magazine entitled, “New Study Find Martian Volcano’s Last Eruption”. The article discusses how new research from NASA shows a large volcano known as Arsia Mons has been inactive for about 50 million years. This was at the time of the extinction of dinosaurs. Arsia Mons, which is located just south of Mars’ equator, the last eruption was in the bowl-shaped depression on top of the volcano known as the caldera. The caldera is roughly 68 miles across and has plenty

Times article “ A Volcanic Eruption That Reverberates 200 Years Later,” William J. Broad discusses how the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora, “the most powerful eruption in recorded history” (Broad) played a role in icy weather, agricultural collapse, global and pandemic and even gave rise to celebrated monsters.” (Broad) In April of 1815, Mount Tambora, located in modern day Indonesia, erupted killing tens of thousands of innocent people. As a result of this eruption, “investigators found that

Warning signs of a volcanic eruption can occur up to a month before the eruption itself occurs. These may include earthquakes, cracks in the earth around the base of the mountain, and even the depletion of water in springs and streams. All of these signs, and more, were present up to two weeks before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which began on August 24, AD 79, and covered an estimated 16,000 citizens of Pompeii in more than 25 meters of volcanic ash. The result of this event seemingly could have

Naples in Italy (at the convergent boundary where the African Plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian Plate), and it is mostly known for its eruption year 79 A.D. that buried the city Pompeii under a thick layer of volcanic ash. Although the destruction of the Roman cities Pompeii and Herculaneum is mostly mentioned when talking about the eruption, Mount Vesuvius also affected other cities such as Oplontis, Stabiae, and Nuceria.

Pompeii Have you ever wondered what would happen if a volcanic eruption happened without warning outside of you doorstep? For the people of Pompeii, it was an unfortunate tragedy. The city of Pompeii has been an arcological mystery for a long time not being found until 1748 by a surveying engineer. The ruins had shown what happened to this ancient city at the bay of Naples Italy. Due to a volcanic eruption without warning, the city of Pompeii was preserved showing how humanity always is in the way

The Minoan civilization flourished in Crete. Unlike other early civilizations, Minoans accepted equality among men and women. Women were of great importance and had authority in society, which is evident through artifacts found of female deities and the mother goddess. Interestingly, the clothing Minoan women wore was intricate and highly ornamented. Experts believe such elaborate clothing was possible because of Minoan’s weaving and dyeing skills and trade. Minoans used clothing mainly for

The eruption of the Korean War brought the abrupt requirement for the expansion of aviation. Helicopters and the Army were very limited in their capabilities, acquisitions of aircraft, laws in place, and industry could not keep up with the demand. These limitations ultimately were overcome because the need was required during the war. Army Aviation saw expansions of their force structure and how operations were conducted on the battlefield. The Aviation Center at Fort Rucker, Alabama was created

its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of Roman cities in Italy as well as other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones and ache to a height of 33 km, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings. Roughly more than 1,000 people died in the eruption, but no exact numbers are unknown. The most famous eruption occurred in 79 AD There has been no eruptions since 1944, and none of the eruptions after

bomb going off, it's hard to describe said Ewan Marshall. Volcanic Eruptions are one of the most feared, destructive and deadliest disasters killing anything that is near it. There are many conditions that must be in place for a volcanic eruption to occur. There is no exact time of year a volcanic eruption could happen and the duration of a volcanic eruption is unpredictable. There are many specific areas where volcanic eruption could occur. Volcanoes are formed when magma within the Earth’s upper
