As an upcoming report in Physical Review Letters describes, the behavior of this material is bizarre even when it is changing into ordinary ice: It suddenly fractures into tiny crystals, allowing underlying material to erupt, much like a terrestrial volcanic eruption.
Other researchers are studying the dynamics of the hot, pressurized bubbles that form in the magma before it erupts, much like shaken seltzer, soda or Champagne.
To make an impact globally, the volcano would have to erupt much more violently (or perhaps trigger nearby volcanoes to erupt violently) so that the larger amounts of sulfates would reach the stratosphere and stay in place, he says.
It is worth noting that scientists have discovered that the geysers in Yellowstone National Park started to erupt much more frequently in the days immediately following a huge earthquake in central Alaska in 2002.
Or were the celebrations that erupted across much of Yemen premature?The obscurity surrounding these dramatic events says much about a country whose shrugging acceptance of mildly violent chaos has been sorely tested by a recent slide towards all-out civil war.
