Shallow underwater explosions are those where a crater formed at the water's surface is large in comparison with the depth of the explosion. Deep underwater explosions are those where the crater is small in comparison with the depth of the explosion, [2] or nonexistent. The overall effect of an underwater explosion depends on depth, the size ...
The underwater explosion also sent 146 million tons of water from the South Pacific Ocean into the stratosphere. [59] The amount of water vapor ejected was 10 percent of the stratosphere's typical stock. [60] It was enough to temporarily warm the surface of Earth. It is estimated that an excess of water vapour should remain for 5–10 years. [58]
An ash plume reached 4.5 km (15,000 ft) on January 13. Officials identified two vents, one on Hunga Haʻapai and another about 100 m (330 ft) offshore and underwater. [36] Large rocks and wet, dense ash were being ejected up to 400 m (1,300 ft) into the air. [36] [37] By 16 January, a new island had been formed by the explosion. [38]
Two underwater explosions were reported in the vicinity of the controversial Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines, and an overflight by a Danish F-16 fighter jet confirmed evidence of a huge natural ...
Underwater explosions using dry ice and liquid nitrogen are captured in high definition slow motion by The Backyard Scientist.
YouTube duo The Slow Mo Guys are no strangers to slow motion explosions, whether it's eggs, capacitors, or levitating apples.In the video above they dial it up to a whopping five million frames ...
A phreatic eruption, also called a phreatic explosion, ultravulcanian eruption or steam-blast eruption, [1] occurs when magma heats ground water or surface water. The extreme temperature of the magma (anywhere from 500 to 1,170 °C (930 to 2,100 °F)) causes near-instantaneous evaporation of water to steam , resulting in an explosion of steam ...
