A volcanic eruption in Italy sent people fleeing Wednesday, with many forced to escape the fiery explosion by boat. The Stromboli volcano, located on the island of Stromboli, near Sicily, began ...
Videos posted on the Internet showed a series of waves hitting the shore and homes, sweeping away debris. [92] Other videos show ashfall and a cloud of ash obscuring the sun. [21] According to a resident in the Tongan capital, a series of initial smaller explosions was heard. It was followed by a tsunami approximately 15 minutes later.
The volcanic ash fall pelted the capital and La Aurora International Airport. The National Coordinator for Disaster Reduction (CONRED) declared a red alert for the communities near the volcano and recommended the evacuation of some of them. Noti7 reporter Anibal Archila, one of the first to cover the event, was reportedly killed by volcanic debris.
An early stage of the July 12, 2009, eruption of Sarychev volcano, seen from space. Viscous magmas cool beneath the surface before they erupt. As they do this, bubbles exsolve from the magma. Because the magma is viscous, the bubbles remain trapped in the magma. [2] As the magma nears the surface, the bubbles and thus the magma increase in volume.
The video shows August footage from Mount Dukono, an active volcano in Indonesia, not Yellowstone National Park. No evidence supports the post’s claim of a Yellowstone volcanic eruption in ...
On 12 December, the volcanic eruption broke the local record, when it reached 85 days of continuous activity. The eruption is considered to be the longest known eruption of a volcano on La Palma.

COPENHAGEN (Reuters) -A volcano spewed lava and smoke over southwestern Iceland for a second day on Friday raising fears of spreading pollution hours after its eruption forced the evacuation of a ...
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, water, ash, rock, and volcanic bombs. [2] At Mount St. Helens in Washington state, hundreds of steam explosions preceded the 1980 Plinian eruption of the volcano. [2]
