Whoop di do. Magma beneath a volcano. Story at the 10. More wasted grant money.
Obama’s real birth certificate?
Thanks A LOT for stealing my thunder you two! 😝
hehehe love that!
To reliably replicate volcano research above ground, all one needs to do is let my wife cook in the kitchen. Boiling eggs turns into Claymore detonation. Cast iron pans that fold as they approach Magma stage.
Oh no, There goes Tokyo!
Two sights that have left me gobsmacked...looking into the Crater Lake caldera, and looking into the Mt. Saint Helens caldera.
I am truly surprised the previous understanding believed a dormant volcano had expended all source of magma from which the volcano arose.
There is a permanent layer of magma below the earth’s surface and I would sumise that every volcano is no more nor less the surface point of a fissure that has opened up between the surface and the layer of earth that contains magma. The release of the magma out the surface may relieve pressure within the below ground region containing a resevoir of magma, but I never thought that meant that layer of magma was spent by the volcano.
Eventually Mt. Vesuvius will blow again. And three million people live in that area today.
““If we had a better general understanding of where magma was, we could do a much better job of targeting and optimizing monitoring,” said Geoffrey Abers, professor in geological sciences at Cornell.”
Sounds like they found a new reason for more funding.
Thank you, first thing that occurred to me too.
“There is a permanent layer of magma below the earth’s surface and I would sumise that every volcano is no more nor less the surface point of a fissure that has opened up between the surface and the layer of earth that contains magma. “
I seem to remember diagrams showing just that in my set of kid encyclopedia that came one volume a week from the grocery store in the 50s.
She’s not on FR, I take it. :^)
My first wife used the smoke alarm as a cooking timer.
Magma under volcanoes, whoda thunk?
I got sucked in by the headline. Magma isn’t exactly “unexpected”. I was thinking in terms of an ice skating rink or an entire city of Mole People.
