Several volcanoes have already erupted over the past few months since the beginning of the year. A recent report reveals that Mount Etna in Italy has erupted, spewing five kilometers of ash and debris.
Express reports that Mount Etna, located in Sicily, erupted over the past weekend, spewing five kilometers of ash and debris into the sky. The blast was described as brief and intense as the eruption took place early in the morning at 7:30 a.m. and lasted for 45 minutes until it died down and hot lava began trickling down the side of the volcano. The ash was blown southeast, affecting Bove alley and Zafferana which was nearby and still on lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The last time Mount Etna experienced a major eruption was in December of 2018. Some video footage of the eruption showed lava being blasted into the air. Even as smoke and ash were constantly coming out of the volcano during the time, there have been no recorded fatalities or injuries from the incident. Even until now, the geologists are keeping tabs on its activity.
According to the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology in Catania, “The network’s follow up has recorded Strombolian activity which have subsequently taken on the characteristics of a small source of lava.” Strombolian activity refers to explosive eruptions that are separated by calm periods of unpredictable length. Mount Etna also happens to be the largest active volcano in Europe and one of the most active in the world because of its constant rate of activity.
Previously, it was reported that the Indonesian volcano known as Krakatoa, erupted twice last week Friday. The eruptions occurred with a 40-minute interval in between. The volcano spewed ash and debris at a height of 47,000 feet into the air, and a magmatic eruption following.afterward. Krakatoa was not the only volcano in Indonesia that erupted as three other volcanoes erupted on the same day.
Much like Mount Etna, Krakatoa’s last eruption was on December 2018, which triggered a tsunami and killed 437 people, injured 14,000 people, and displaced around 40,000 people.
