Portals into the guts of the world they burned bottomless cauldrons fueled by an
ancient wrath bubbling and boiling
thousands of miles beneath the surface
and just waiting to burst through volcanoes are scattered across the planet about 1,500 active volcanoes can be found across the planet though countless
others are on the ocean bottom most
volcanoes whether ashore or underwater
are located where tectonic plates
meet actually the Ring of fireside a path that
traces the boundaries between several
tectonic plates round the Pacific
Ocean contains about 75% of the planets
volcanoes there are several types
of volcanoes primarily classified by
shape and size major types include stratovolcanoes which frequently appear as tall
steep mountains shield volcanoes which
are flatter and dome shaped calderas
which are large depressions in the
ground and mid-ocean ridges which are
underwater chains of volcanic mountains regardless of their shape or size all volcanoes emit gas and molten rock the journey of those emissions begins deep
underground within the Earth's core the core which may burn as hot because the surface
of the Sun transfers its heat to the
surrounding rocky mantle in doing so the heat melts a number of the rock this molten
rock or magma is lighter than the surrounding
solid rock layer so it rises through
the mantle the magma then escapes
through vents in the crust causing volcanic eruptions
now above-ground this magma is referred
to as lava and it can reach temperatures
of over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit in
addition to lava volcanoes may erupt
with searing hot gas formed within the
mantle during a phenomenon called pyroclastic
flow this gas combined with hot
ash can race down the edges of a volcano as
fast as 100 miles per hour burning
everything in its path to measure
and classify eruptions scientists
developed the volcanic explosivity
index or bei it considers various
factors like the quantity of lava gas and other emissions from the volcano alongside the
peak of the eruption
cloud above the volcano's summit
the vei scale begins at zero each successive
measurement increases logarithmically
meaning that every magnitude
is 10 times more powerful than the
one before it the vei scale doesn't have an upper
limit but the foremost catastrophic eruptions
measured so far are categorized
as vei 8 these eruptions occurred
thousands and many years ago the foremost destructive volcanic eruption ever witnessed occurred in Indonesia in 1815 Mount Tambura an outsized stratovolcano
erupted with a vei measurement of seven the blast caused
earthquakes tsunamis and pyroclastic
flows that decimated the land and took
tens of thousands of Indonesian lives
the eruption even destroyed the highest of Mount Tambura itself turning the 13,000 foot tall mountain into a 3 thousand
six hundred and forty foot deep caldera
while volcanoes are a number of the foremost
destructive forces of nature they need
also helped make life on Earth possible
volcanic ash provides nutrients to
nearby soil making the land fertile and
lava when it cools hardens into rock and
creates new landforms with heat from the guts of the world volcanoes
have helped para form the planet
making it the rich dynamic landscape
we see today.
Season 6 is upon us and it brings with it a brand new island to the Battlegrounds. Karakin has risen like its namesake from the sea to bring intense action and quick gameplay to PUBG. New dangers, new weapons and a whole new island await, so let’s drop into the action of Update 6.1. NEW MAP: KARAKIN Higher tension, faster pace: Welcome to Karakin. Karakin is a 2×2 km island off the coast of Northern Africa. It’s an arid, rocky environment that provides wide-open terrain and challenging engagements. It’s small, fast, and dangerous: Expect the tension of Miramar combined with the pace of Sanhok. Karakin is a 64 players map. Players should expect long distance rifle engagements in the mountains, tactical urban conflict, and claustrophobic underground combat. And with the introduction of the Black Zone, Karakin reveals its twist: a map that’s layout changes every match. New hazard, the Black Zone only available in Karakin, levels building
