A summer storm hits Wah Wah Valley and the Wah Wah Mountains, in May 2009. Wah Wah Springs Caldera is a supervolcanic eruption remnant discovered in 2013 in Utah.It released 5,500 to 5,900 cubic kilometres (1,300 to 1,400 cu mi) of tephra, as the Wah Wah Springs Tuff, about 30.06 million years ago in the early Oligocene.
Elephant toothpaste reaction Two people watching the reaction of Elephant's toothpaste. Elephant's toothpaste is a foamy substance caused by the quick decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) using potassium iodide (KI) or yeast and warm water as a catalyst. [1]
Just like baking soda and vinegar simulate a volcanic eruption, baking soda interacts with acidic ingredients in doughs and batters to create bubbles of CO 2. But instead of spilling out of a ...
A soda geyser is a physical reaction between a carbonated beverage, usually Diet Coke, and Mentos mints that causes the beverage to be expelled from its container. The candies catalyze the release of gas from the beverage, which creates an eruption that pushes most of the liquid up and out of the bottle.
Mount Ruang spewed lava and and ash on April 17, seen from Sitaro, North Sulawesi. It also triggered lightning in the ash cloud -- a common phenomenon in powerful volcano eruptions.
This eruption is considered the climactic event of Yellowstone's third volcanic cycle. The Lava Creek Tuff covers an area of more than 7,500 km 2 (2,900 sq mi) centered around the caldera and has an estimated magma volume of 1,000 km 3 (240 cu mi).
The eruption began in the early afternoon following a series of earthquakes north of Grindavik, a coastal town of 3,800 people that was largely evacuated in December when the volcano erupted.
It was caused by a volcanic eruption in 8300 BC. [1] [2] A volcanic bomb or lava bomb is a mass of partially molten rock larger than 64 mm (2.5 inches) in diameter, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. Because volcanic bombs cool after they leave the volcano, they are extrusive igneous rocks. Volcanic bombs ...
