Those boulders the size of Buicks may have had an effect on things, as well.

2 days ago G3-G4 solar storm. (G5 is highest)
1 day ago 7.8 earthquake in east Philippines.
Today volcano erupts in west Philippines.

... must be wave physics along seismic zones and a complex universe. It’s a theory.

2022 solar flare erupted November 7 followed 4 days later by 7.3 Tonga earthquake.

They died doing what they loved, if what they loved was being suffocated by volcanic ash and gases.

Or burned alive.

Pinatubo was VEI 6. St. Helens was 5, quite a bit less, 1/10th actually (log scale), and did not launch ejecta nearly as high as Pinatubo. Marapi so far is only a burp, at 10k feet plume height. Pinatubo sent stuff 28 MILES high (still a piker compared to Krakatoa’s 50 mile high plume, but while Krakatoa was incredibly violent, it’s effect on temperatures in turn was much less than Tambora, which had a plume height of only 27 miles, but a monstrous VEI of 7.

Volcanic explosivity index:

The volcanic explosivity index (VEI) is a relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. It was devised by Christopher G. Newhall of the United States Geological Survey and Stephen Self in 1982.

Volume of products, eruption cloud height, and qualitative observations (using terms ranging from "gentle" to "mega-colossal") are used to determine the explosivity value. The scale is open-ended with the largest eruptions in history given a magnitude of 8. A value of 0 is given for non-explosive eruptions, defined as less than 10,000 m3 (350,000 cu ft) of tephra ejected; and 8 representing a mega-colossal explosive eruption that can eject 1.0×1012 m3 (240 cubic miles) of tephra and have a cloud column height of over 20 km (66,000 ft). The scale is logarithmic, with each interval on the scale representing a tenfold increase in observed ejecta criteria, with the exception of between VEI-0, VEI-1 and VEI-2.

They are indeed. They may even make the volcano go out of business and leave the country altogether. It obviously undervalued its potential explosive tendencies.

Thank You.

metmom- (((PING)))

More like cooling ash has the effect of blocking solar and galactic radiation.
So The 28th climate conference has something new to complain about to get more funding.

[P.O.E.]

I like a good Stromboli with extra marinara on the side.

Oh, and thanks for that graphic.

[Paul R.]

;-)

I was just rereading my post and had to chuckle at “only 27 miles”.

FWIW, Tonga was another Krakatoa style pop, with a VEI of 5.7, but a plume 38 miles high, that started underwater.. 2nd highest known, I believe? This article cites “eruption rate” which is for sure an interesting way to consider an eruption.

Correction, 36 miles high. Still darn impressive!

It’s a documentary, 54 minutes long, and quite interesting.

[metmom]

Thank you.

Ping to post 54 for you as well.

There are lots of fools in the world - warning signs just add to the Adrenalin thrill they seek playing on the edge.

Is it too late to throw Greta Thunberg into the volcano?

Dunno, with her personality she just might still be a virgin...

[mabarker1]

So who gets to hold the “dumb end” of the Tape Measure for this underwater part of the Data Collection ?

[mabarker1]

I like a good Stromboli with extra marinara on the side.

The Flight Attendant in charge of the Inflight Meal Service has been given Your request. Dinner Service will commence shortly after Cruise Altitude has been achieved.

There will be an inflight movie this evening, headsets are available from the seat back in front of You and the audio will be available on Channel 9. We hope You enjoy Your Flight.

MAYDAY !!!

Mt Marapi is pretty close to that other famous eruption in the Sunda Strait, better known as Krakatoa.
I am watching the video now. A lot of confusion. According to the map, it looks like Pinatubo is about 25 miles west of Clark Air Base, and about 45 miles north of Subic Naval Base, at Olongapo. There were, of course, other factors, in the decision to close Clark Air Base, but one of the biggest reasons Clark closed, was because of Pinatubo. The Air Force two star, ordered the evacuation of Clark Air Base, and all the USAF aircraft, were flown out of Clark, though I don’t know where they went. Maybe Taiwan, Korea, or Okinawa. I just don’t know. Now, the former Clark Air Base, (still called Clark) is a bustling business park, and is being used as an international airport. If we want to visit friends in Angeles City, we fly directly to Clark and bypass that nightmarish place called Manila. I was in Manila a couple of months ago. I couldn’t wait to leave.
