Then, the day after the nuclear explosion, the contaminated dust and water rain down and contaminate a large area. This rain is known as the fallout. The head wave comes from the gigantic energy that develops from the detonation. In the center of the detonation, the temperature can reach several million degrees. The head wave only takes a few seconds, but it kills everyone within a three-mile radius.
These include.... * The eruption had left destruction in its wake, it created a ‘Pyroclastic Flow’ or ‘Nuée ardente’ (Glowing Cloud). This is a cloud of volcanic debris, made up of solid, semi solid and hot, expanding gases. The cloud behaves like a liquid, flowing down the slope of the volcano. It can reach up to and above 100Km/h and so destroys everything in its path. The pyroclastic flow from Mt.
How to predict an volcanic eruption Ground Deformation Ground deformation is the change in shape that happens before during or after a volcanic eruption. This happens because the sides of the volcano change shape because the magma in many ways to measure the change of shape of the volcano, like leveling, triangulation and more recently using continuous Global Positioning System (CGPS). It is also possible to use lakes as large tilt meters. Tilt meters measure the tiny degrees of tilt or slope on land. This is one of the oldest methods of knowing when ground deformation was caused because of rising lava.
Intrusive igneous rocks, also known as plutonic rocks, are formed inside earth's crust. Molten rock rises and fills openings or melts overlaying rocks. This eventually hardens creating an intrusive igneous rock. An extrusive igneous rock, or volcanic rock, is created by magma rising the earth's surface. Magma is known as lava when it reaches the surface.
This could be a problem if an eruption was to take place at the Yucca Mountain or close by. An eruption could cause damage to the facility or in the worst case magma flowing through the facility which could damage canisters holding radioactive
The plutonic rocks were formed by magma and are form deep within the Earth. When a volcano erupts, some lava reaches the Earth surface and the lava starts to cool or solidify, but there are a few volcanic igneous rocks in Yosemite. The volcanic rocks in Yosemite Park include basalt and latté lava flows and outside has the same, but some called ash-flow and more (Yosemite National
The first disaster causes a lot of fires in the forests. Also, it throws a lot of volcanic gases which causes air pollution, such as, ash fall, CO2, and methane. "Mud volcanoes are one of the significant natural sources of atmospheric methane"(Dimitrov, 2002). The volcanoes affect the lands and cause landslides. On the other hand, the second disaster affects the cities more than the forests.
This produced an immense amount of energy casing a massive explosion in the reactor. The explosion completely destroyed the reactor and released harmful radioactive agents into the environment. The explosion at reactor 4 was immediately followed by an even bigger explosion that completely destroyed the reactor building structure. Super heated graphite and other reactor components
J. Subbiondo © 2004The CrustThe outer layer of the Earth is called the crust. It is made up of rock that floated to the surface when the Earth was formed. It is not a continuous layer, but is made up of large masses called tectonic plates.These plates drift slowly across the Earth's surface (tectonic means moving).The movement of these plates creates mountains and valleys.At weak points in the crust, it causes volcanic eruptions. And when plates bump into each other, earthquakes occur -- emitting shock waves or vibrations called seismic waves. The crust is the Earth's coldest layer.
Geothermal energy is the heat energy stored beneath the surface in the form of hot spring! And geysers it is the exploitation of heat energy of earth within the upper 10 km of the earth crust. Heat from the molten core of the earth offers a huge and sustainable energy source. Origin: The limitless heat from the interior of earth is used to convert water into steam. In volcanic regions of the earth, the hot rock is relatively close to the surface.
