Patrick Simmons+FollowVolcanoes: The Real Killer Isn’t LavaWho knew the biggest threat from a volcano isn’t the lava? Scientists just cracked the code on predicting when a volcano’s slopes might collapse—think landslides and tsunamis, not just fiery eruptions. Turns out, hot gas and massive waves are the real dangers, and these new models could help communities get ahead of disaster. Imagine being able to monitor the riskiest spots before things go sideways. Wild, right? #Science #ScienceNews #Volcano30Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowThis Volcano Changed the World—LiterallyDid you know the biggest volcanic eruption ever actually caused a global summer to vanish? Mount Tambora in 1815 exploded so massively, it wiped out villages, killed tens of thousands, and even made 1816 the “Year Without a Summer.” Crops failed, people starved, and the world’s weather went wild. The eruption was so loud it was heard 2,000 km away! It’s wild to think one volcano could shake up the whole planet like that. #Science #MountTambora #Volcano30Share
