The explosion was so huge that it penetrated through the overlying seawater and triggered the tsunami. [ 85 ] Importantly, the atmospheric waves caused by the explosion coupled to the ocean, generating additional tsunamis at large distances from the volcano; volcanic tsunamis normally do not reach far from the edifice. [ 86 ]
The pressure of the magma builds until the blockage is blasted out in an explosive eruption through the weakest point in the cone, usually the crater. (However, in the case of the eruption of Mount St. Helens, the pressure was released on the side of the volcano, rather than the crater. [3]). The release of pressure causes more gas to exsolve ...

The Centre of Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation recommended that a 7 km (4.3 mi) radius around the volcano be evacuated. [75] Seven villages were affected by the eruption. [76] A larger eruption occurred on 7 November. [77] On 8 November, the volcano erupted several times, one bearing an ash plume with a height reaching 10 km (6.2 mi ...
The volcano built itself up from depth and emerged above the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Iceland in 1963. Initial hydrovolcanics were highly explosive, but as the volcano grew, rising lava interacted less with water and more with air, until finally Surtseyan activity waned and became more Strombolian.

Location of the volcano on the island and risk to population. An explosive eruption occurred at 8:41 a.m. AST (12:41 UTC) on 9 April 2021, with an ash plume reaching approximately 10,000 m (32,000 ft) and drifting eastward towards the Atlantic Ocean. [16] [17] Approximately 16,000 people were told to evacuate the area surrounding the volcano.
Three Americans have been released after spending years imprisoned in China, the White House said Wednesday. Mark Swidan, Kai Li and John Leung were released and would soon "return and be reunited ...
The volcano erupted on 9 December 2019 at 2:11 pm local time (01:11 UTC). [3] The ash plume rose 3.7 kilometres (12,000 ft) into the air. [26]It was initially believed that there were about 100 tourists on or near the island when the eruption took place; later, this figure was revised to 47 people who were on the island at the time.
