Suoh Volcano Eruption Update; New Eruption, 3 Powerful Explosions Occur

  • Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
  • Without warning, a series of 3 powerful explosions occurred this morning, sending tens of thousands of rock and mud into the air. This occurred at one of Sumatra's most dangerous volcanoes known as Suoh. What occurred was a cluster of phreatic eruptions, which this video will explain how they formed and the general geologic setting in Indonesia.
    Note: The thumbnail of today's video shows the 2018 eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii and not the 2024 eruption of Suoh in Indonesia. The reason for this is I was unable to find a high enough resolution image to use for a thumbnail for Suoh, and decided to find an image which might somewhat closely match the appearance of its second explosion.
    Thumbnail Photo Credit: U.S. Geological Survey, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Public Domain, www.usgs.gov/media/images/ash.... This image was then modified, overlaid with text, cropped, and then overlaid with GeologyHub made graphics (the GeologyHub logo and the image border).

      Fault lines on their own are not enough - you need either a spreading ridge or convergent boundary, while the New Madrid fault zone is a strike-slip fault where two sides move side-to-side relative to each other. There are no known volcanic eruptions in Tennessee within the last 50 million years at least, and almost certainly will not be any in the geological future unless something significant changes in the geology of the state.

    This annoys me.
    When presented with estimates which are given in round figures do the conversion in round figures.
    An estimate of 100 metres is an estimate of about 300 feet.
    Even worse (not here mind you but elsewhere online) is when a temperature difference of 5 C is reported as 41 F.

      I believe that it has to do with energy coming into the system, the magnetosphere, atmosphere, and Earth's crust. The energy flows though the different media in different ways. We get aurora high up, intensified storms, and energy in crust will hit the most vulnerable, ready to go spots. At least that's my armchair take on what I've read.
