The Year Without a Summer was an agricultural disaster; historian John D. Post called it "the last great subsistence crisis in the Western world". [4] [5] The climatic aberrations of 1816 had their greatest effect on New England (US), Atlantic Canada, and Western Europe.
The volcano's activity is now known to predate scientific record keeping of its activity, which commenced in 1959. [21] Most earthquake swarms at Kamaʻehuakanaloa have lasted less than two days; the two exceptions are the 1990-1991 earthquake, lasting several months, and the 1996 event, which was shorter but much more pronounced.
The Honolulu Volcanics constitute a late stage of volcanism [70] which in Hawaiʻi is known as the rejuvenated stage [73] and the third stage of a typical Hawaiian volcano. [19] They have a much smaller volume than the Koʻolau volcano [22] even though their lava flows are usually thicker; [74] the unconformity that separates the Honolulu ...
Iceland fear the unknown as scientists predict “new eruption phase” - here is what we know so far
The conversion of sulfur dioxide to sulfuric acid, which condenses rapidly in the stratosphere to form fine sulfate aerosols. A volcanic winter is a reduction in global temperatures caused by droplets of sulfuric acid obscuring the Sun and raising Earth's albedo (increasing the reflection of solar radiation) after a large, sulfur-rich, particularly explosive volcanic eruption.
The base of the volcano is around 10 km (6 mi) wide, steepening from about 15 degrees at 300 m (980 ft) altitude to around 30 degrees near the summit. Some glacial tongues have cut through narrow canyons up to 120 m (390 ft) deep, due to ice filling the crater and extending down the north and east flanks of the cone. [ 5 ]
The island, with an area of 12.6 square kilometres (4.9 sq mi), [4] represents the upper third of the volcano. [5] Its population was about 500 as of 2016 [update] . [ 2 ] The volcano has erupted many times and is constantly active with minor eruptions, often visible from many points on the island and from the surrounding sea, giving rise to ...
