| Volcano 3/3/15 |
The date was March 3 where there was an volcanic eruption that caused about 3,500 people to evacuate. It was the Villarrica volcano, not that the name matters. But the volcano was 9,000 ft and belonged in the city of Pucon. Even though the eruption was normal, the sight of lightning striking down at the volcano was amazing. Rarely do i see lightning and volcano together. Instead of a normal blog that involves me talking about how "this" topic affects humans and why we should care. Today I and going to talk about facts about volcanoes that you might not heard or known about. To start things off, did you know that volcanoes can be active, dormant or ....extinct. I didn't know about extinct volcanoes. Apparently, they are volcanoes that won't erupt again. Next one, there are 20 volcanoes erupting right now, most being underwater, as I write my blog. Did you you know that volcanoes can evolve into super-volcanoes (could have had a better name). The biggest on Earth happened 73,000 years ago in Toba. Also, the tallest volcano is on Mars, not Earth (we are not that special). It is called Olympus Mons. This last fact could be related to the article. Volcanic lightning occurs within clouds of ash and due to friction, lightning occurs (correct me if am wrong). Well ladies and gentleman, this is my interesting facts about volcanoes, if you have any other, just comment. Thanks for tuning in. Good Night and Good Luck.
