Aira Caldera is almost rectangular in shape related to local faulting and was created in a series of large scale of pyroclastic surges that contributed to the Shirasu-Daichi pyroclastic plateau with the last now dated to 29,428 to 30,148 years calibrated before present [7] [1] [2] although earlier work had the date at ~22,000 years ago with ...
The Buru Caldera cuts the SW flank of the Witori volcano. [2] Sakurajima, Kyūshū, Japan, is a volcano of the Aira Caldera. The Mount Unzen volcanic complex, East of Nagasaki, Japan, comprises three large stratovolcanoes with complex structures, Kinugasa on the North, Fugen-dake at the East-center, and Kusenbu on the South.

A volcano that once existed in the northern part of Kagoshima Bay caused an eruption called the Great Aira Eruption about 25,000 years ago, forming the Aira Caldera. Aira City is located on the northwest side of this caldera, on the somma, and there is a stratum called Shirasu, which originated from pyroclastic flows that flowed out during a ...
1452/1453 mystery eruption in the New Hebrides arc, Vanuatu; the location of this eruption in the South Pacific is uncertain, as it has been identified from distant ice core records; the only pyroclastic flows are found at Kuwae; 36 to 96 km 3 (8.6 to 23.0 cu mi) of tephra; 175,000,000–700,000,000 t (193,000,000–772,000,000 short tons) of ...
Another view of the new eruption within the summit caldera of Kīlauea Volcano that began on Dec. 23, 2024. Lava is erupting from vents on the west part of the caldera wall, feeding lava flows ...
The resulting caldera is over 20 km (12 mi) across. Tephra fell as far as 1,000 km (620 mi) from the volcano. Sakurajima is a modern active vent of the same Aira caldera volcano. Sakurajima was formed by later activity within the caldera, beginning about 13,000 years ago. [9] It is about 8 km (5 mi) south of the centre of the caldera.
An evacuation order has been lifted after a lithium-ion battery fire broke out at a power plant facility in Central California Thursday night, officials said Friday. “In an abundance of caution ...
