چکیده
Abstract The violent eruption of the volcano at Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha‘apai island on January 15, 2022, generated an intense pressure wave registered by instruments all over world. Using public reports posted social media, we have used arrival time first passage to measure its velocity, found be a constant $$1114\pm 2$$ 1114 ± 2 km/h ( $$309\pm 1$$ 309 1 m/s). An empirical pressure–distance relation that utilizes measurements from large range sources is estimate energetic output. We find this volcanic released approximately equivalent 61 Mt, which considerably larger than 1980 Mount St. Helens and slightly higher yield Tsar Bomba, largest human-made explosion in history.

Damavand volcano is located 60 km to the East North- East of Tehran. It is a dormant stratovolcano outcrop in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran and is the highest mountain (5670 m) in the Middle East and West Asia. Mazandaran Province, one of the most populous provinces by population density, Semnan and Gorgan provinces further east are neighbours of the Damavand. Volcanism in Damavand goes...
متن کاملTriboelectric charging of volcanic ash from the 2011 Grímsvötn eruption.
The plume from the 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn was highly electrically charged, as shown by the considerable lightning activity measured by the United Kingdom Met Office's low-frequency lightning detection network. Previous measurements of volcanic plumes have shown that ash particles are electrically charged up to hundreds of kilometers away from the vent, which indicates that the ash continues...
متن کاملNano-volcanic Eruption of Silver
Silver (Ag) is one of the seven metals of antiquity and an important engineering material in the electronic, medical, and chemical industries because of its unique noble and catalytic properties. Ag thin films are extensively used in modern electronics primarily because of their oxidation-resistance. Here we report a novel phenomenon of Ag nano-volcanic eruption that is caused by interactions b...
متن کاملVolcanic eruption prediction: Magma chamber physics from gravity and deformation measurements
One of the greatest remaining problems in modern volcanology is the process by which volcanic eruptions are triggered. It is generally accepted that eruptions are preceded by magma intrusion [Sigurdsson and Sparks, 1978]. The degree of interaction between previously ponded magma in a chamber and newly intruded magma determines the nature and rate of eruption and also the chemistry of erupted la...
