Vesuvius
Mount Vesuvius is a Stratovolcano –
perhaps the most famous volcano in the world
In 79 C.E. it erupted catastrophically,
destroying several Roman towns and settlements nearby
Pliny the younger left an eyewitness account,
which is why this type of volcanism bears his name
In terms of destructive power, and threat to human life,
It is one of the most deadly of all geological phenomena.
Convergent plate boundaries or subduction zones
Are where these entities are commonly found
Stratovolcanoes have a distinct conical form
built up from many strata over time
Hardened lava, tephra, and volcanic ash.
Ignimbrites, pumice and obsidian
Rhyolite, andesite and volcanic bombs
Dacite, Trachyte and Lahars
(Quiet bit)
A pyroclastic flow is a seething mixture of solid and partially molten rock fragments
and scalding gases that cascades down the slopes of this volcanic cone.
These terrifying features are heavier-than-air emulsions
that move much like a snow avalanche.
As the torrent of destruction accelerates downhill
It ingests and heats the surrounding air
Which then expands and adds to the effect
The flow can reach 100 miles per hour.
The extraordinary velocity of a pyroclastic flow
is partly attributed to fluidization.
Exsolving gases keep the ash in constant suspension
So larger fragments can float in the matrix.
They are fiercely hot, and toxic to breathe in
they race at phenomenal, hurricane-force speeds.
The people of Pompeii and Herculaneum
Were dead before they had time to respond
As usual, comments appreciated.
