Topic: Eruption (disambiguation)


  
  Volcano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
However, it is known that an eruption usually follows movement of magma upwards into the solid layer (the earth's crust) beneath a volcano and occupying a magma chamber.
Several eruptions during the past century have caused a decline in the average temperature at the Earth's surface of up to half a degree (Fahrenheit scale) for periods of one to three years.
Volcanic eruptions may inject an aerosol of particles and chemicals in the Earth's atmosphere.

 Talk:Eruption (disambiguation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I think every single page that links to Eruption ([1]) is after the volcanic phenomenon, rather than the dental one or the band.
A disambiguation page at the "title (disambiguation)" works fine if the article "title" includes a short sentence at the beginning to guide to the disambiguation page.
But for a redirect this is not possible, and in "volcano" the hint for other meanings of eruption would be misplaced.

 Mount Etna - Unipedia
The mountain's regular and often dramatic eruptions made it a major subject of interest for Classical mythologists and their later successors, who sought to explain its behaviour in terms of the various gods and giants of Roman and Greek legend.
The height of the mountain varies with its eruptions; until 1911, there was only one large cone and crater at the summit, but subsequent eruptions have created new craters and cones.
In 2001-2002, the biggest series of eruptions for many years threw up a huge column of ash that could easily be seen from space and fell as far away as Libya, on the far side of the Mediterranean Sea.

 Volcano - Linix Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the earth's interior made molten or liquid by high pressure and temperature) erupts through the surface of the planet.
For example, since calderas have lifespans sometimes measured in millions of years, a caldera that has not produced an eruption in tens of thousands of years is likely to be considered dormant instead of extinct.
Jesuit Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680), witnessed eruptions of Aetna and Stromboli, then visited the crater of Vesuvius and published his view of an Earth with a central fire connected to numerous others caused by the burning of sulphur, bitumen and coal.

 [No title]
Magma exists between 650 and 1200 °C. Magma is under high pressure and sometimes emerges through volcanic vents in the form of flowing lava (melt as it exists above the Earth's surface) and pyroclastic ejecta.
Magma rises primarily because a melt is less dense than its source rock, it is propelled upward through the lithosphere by the buoyancy that its lower density creates (the way less dense wood is pushed up and floats in denser water).
This is because high levels of silica cause volatiles to build-up and can create an explosive eruption which is seen in composite volcanoes.

 Lava - Unipedia
Lava is molten rock that a volcano expels during an eruption.
The first time it was used in connection with extruded magma was apparently in a short account written by Francesco Serao of the eruption of Vesuvius which took place between May 14 and June 4 1737.

A volcano is a landformgeological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the Earth's interior made molten or liquid by extremely high temperatures along with a reduction in pressure and/or the introduction of water or other volatiles) erupts through the surface of the planet.
Eventually, magma in the chamber is forced upwards and flows out across the planet surface as lava, or the rising magma can heat water in the surrounding landform and cause explosive discharges of steam; either this or escaping gases from the magma can produce forceful ejections of rocks, cinders, obsidianvolcanic glass, and/or volcanic ash.

 Diamond Head, Hawaii   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Diamond Head is part of the complex of cones, vents, and their associated eruption flows that are collectively known to geologists as the Honolulu Volcanic Series, eruptions from the Koʻolau Volcano that took place long after the volcano formed and had gone dormant.
Another factor probably contributing to the eruption's explosive nature was that rising magma would have come into contact with the water table.
A nearby eruption that took place at about the same time (probably after) as the Diamond Head eruption was the eruption that built the Black Point lava shield.
