The scientists published their findings online April 14 in the journal Science Advances. The damage from the event 500 years ago had been erased."įuture research should focus on the best way to place sensors to record data from submarine volcanoes and the coastlines of vulnerable islands as "an effective means of keeping tabs on submarine volcanoes," Purkis said. Environment Hawaiis Mount Kilauea volcano has erupted again. "Archaeological evidence pins a major tsunami in the mid-15th century with runup heights up to 30 meters - that is, similar in size to the 2022 event." However, "when I surveyed the coral reefs of the Tongan archipelago with the Living Oceans Foundation in 2013, we found the reefs to be healthy and vibrant. Still, "clearly the reefs can recover from such damage," Purkis noted. The Canary Islands Volcanology Institute has been releasing some stunning live footage of the eruption on La Palma and this photo shows the activity on the volcano late on Sunday, with lava. Several 'moderate' explosions were registered at Popocatpetl, one of Mexico's most active volcanoes, according to the country's National Center for Disaster Prevention. In ability significantly, so that if a volcanic eruption damaddition to the. This finding suggests these reefs may have experienced substantial damage, Purkis said. Just as for the main high - frequency sonars and video imagery ) in. The computer simulations also revealed that the coral reefs that fringe the Tongan islands helped suppress the waves that ultimately made their way to shore. Scientists find strange underwater volcano that 'looks like a Bundt cake'
Tonga's eruption injected so much water into Earth’s atmosphere that it could weaken the ozone layer Tonga's massive volcanic eruption wiped out unique, never-before-seen life-forms The Philippines’ most active volcano began spewing lava and sulfuric gas Sunday, prompting the evacuation of nearly 13,000 residents in the southeast of the country’s main island, authorities. Update: Nov 6th, 2021 07:04 EDT Comment La Palma volcano eruption: Thu 4 Nov Strombolian and Hawaiian eruptions The Spanish Geological and Mining Institute (IGME) has shared this video, where. The eruption's relatively distant location from urban centers also may have saved Tonga from a worse fate, the scientists noted. The low death toll is a testament to the effectiveness of safety drills and awareness efforts carried out in Tonga in the years before the eruption, Purkis said. In contrast, the 2022 eruption killed an estimated six people. The scientists said the strength of the 2022 eruption rivaled that of the 1883 eruption of Krakatau that killed more than 36,000 people.

"A series of small blasts hailed the arrival of the big one, which generated the largest tsunami." "We show how submarine volcanic eruptions can generate massive tsunami," Purkis said. This, in turn, helped generate a mega-tsunami that lasted more than an hour. The scientists found that the complex, shallow nature of the region's underwater terrain helped to trap low-velocity waves from the eruption. The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano on December 24, a month before the eruption. Lava blasted into the air and formed rivers of glowing, molten rock that was streaming 01:33.
