Topic: Sarno crater


  
  Vesuvius Threatens Naples
Almost without warning the huge crater opened its fiery mouth and poured from its throat and fiery interior and poured down the mountain sides oceans of burning lava, and warned 60,000 or 70,000 inhabitants of villages in the paths of the fiery floods that their only safety was in immediate flight.
Occasionally great masses of molten stone, some weighing as much as a ton were, accompanied by a thunderous noise, ejected from the crater and sent crashing down the mountain side, causing the natives, even as far as Naples, to quake with fear, abandon their homes and fall, praying, on their knees.
Sarno, Portici, Ciricello, Poggio and Morino became practically uninhabitable because of the ashes and fumes, and the people fled from the town.

 Vesuvius   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The Avellino eruption vent was apparently 2 km west of the current crater, and the eruption destroyed several Bronze Age settlements.
Herculaneum, which was much closer to the crater, was saved from tephra falls by the wind direction, but was buried under 23 m (75 ft) of material deposited by pyroclastic surges.
The eruption changed the course of the Sarno River and raised the sea beach, so that Pompeii was now neither on the river nor adjacent to the coast.

Herculaneum, which was much closer to the crater, was saved from tephra falls by the wind direction, but was buried under 23 m (75 ft) of material deposited by pyroclastic surges.
It is likely that most, or all, of the victims in this town were killed by the surges, particularly given evidence of high temperatures found on the skeletons of the victims found in the arched vaults, and the existence of carbonised wood in many of the buildings.
The eruption changed the course of the River Sarno and raised the sea beach, so that Pompeii was now neither on the river nor adjacent to the coast.

A stream of lava issued in 1198 from the crater of the Solfatara, which still continues to exhale steam and noxious gases; the Lava dell' Arso came out of the N.E. flank of Monte Epomeo in 1302; and Monte Nuovo, north-west of Pozzuoli (455 ft.), was thrown up in three days in September 1538.
The Punta del Nasone, the highest point of Somma, is 3714 ft. high, while the Punta del Palo, the highest point of the brim of the crater of Vesuvius, varies materially with successive eruptions from 3856 to 4275 ft. 4.
The Apulian volcanic formation consists of the great mass of Monte Volture, which rises at the west end of the plains of Apulia, on the frontier of Basilicata, and is surrounded by the Apennines on its south-west and north-west sides.

In the year 79 of the Christian Era it suddenly became active again, burying in molten stone, sand, and ashes the cities of Stabia, Herculaneum, and Pompeii, and by its noxious vapours terminating the life of Pliny the Elder.
The Vulture consists of two concentric craters of winch the interior one is more recent; this contains the two small lakes of Monticchio (2050 feet).
Volcanic lakes are very plentiful in the peninsula; they are so called because they occupy the craters of extinct volcanoes, which accounts for their small dimensions.

During the first half of August the activity increased also at SW crater (Crater 3), in particular at vent 3/1, where the magma level became more and more shallow until it produced a very small lava flow on 16-17 August; the flow proceeded for only a few metres inside the crater.
However, the most obvious change in the activity was seen in NE Crater (Crater 1), where vent 1/4 showed only rare explosions, but with strong gas jets, and vent 1/3 stopped the continuous activity which had begun on 16 April 1996.
Unfortunately the morphological changes in Crater 1 (which usually sees the continuous construction and destructions of several small cones) are not inferrable from the photographs taken in September, because smoke always covered the northeasternmost section of the crater terrace.

 The Great Back Debate - Newsweek Health - MSNBC.com
John Sarno, an attending physician at NYU Medical Center's Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine, believes that almost all back pain is rooted in bottled-up emotions.
In weekly lectures to his patients, Sarno uses a slide show and a pointer to explain how repressed rage—over your parents' divorce, sexual abuse, trouble at work—can stress the body, leading to mild oxygen deprivation, which he says will eventually manifest itself as muscle spasm, nerve dysfunction, numbness and pain.
Skeptics say that Sarno is offering a placebo, which could miss the true cause of the pain.

Vegetation is even beginning to conquer the crater itself: there are small trees growing within the impressive pit and on the rim there is a (still discontinuous) cover of grass.
Activity of this kind is mainly restricted to the central crater where one or more intracrateral cones form, and to the flanks of the cone.
A somewhat particular kind of persistent activity is the slow effusion of large volumes of lava from subterminal fractures to form thick piles of lava with little lateral extension, such as the lava cupola of Colle Umberto, formed in 1895-1899.

As a harbor town, along side the river Sarnus (Sarno), serving as a rich inland zone, it was also a small, but bustling center of wine and oil production (although Pompeiian wine was said to give one a hang-over).
A warning was given, unheeded, in the reign of Nero, during the month of February A.D. 62, when a severe earthquake badly damaged the towns around the mountain, Pompeii, being the worse of any of them.
The first victims were struck down by lava, rocks, and falling masonry, while many more obviously suffocated by ash, and asphyxiation, by the sulphurous fumes and lethal chloride-impregnated gases that the belching crater emitted from the bowels of the earth.
