    and thermal decomposition of glycerol are expected to achieve equilibrium much faster than the reactions involving steam. Thus, the steam reforming of methane and water-gas shift reactions were rather considered to be kinetically limited where a plug flow model operating adiabatically was used to represent the process. The kinetic information previously used to model the autothermal reforming of methane was used this time for modelling the second stage of glycerol…

    depths of the ocean, a catastrophe waiting to happen. As hot magma bubbles up from the depths of the earth, it pushes through the surface and Krakatoa is born. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was devastating. The resulting toxic gases, deadly pyroclastic flows, and giant tsunamis are astonishing. The eruption of Krakatoa was the loudest eruption ever heard in history. Krakatoa is located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. The island of Krakatoa is a result of the…

    "It 's really interesting how you can have such a violent eruption producing such slow-moving flows," said Valentine, co-author of the new study. "They still devastate a huge area, but they 're slow and concentrated and dense," he told Live Science. His collaborators include Olivier Roche, of Blaise Pascal University in France and David Buesch, of…

    in the sediment size of rocks. For example, a debris-flow lahar contains particles of various sizes ranging from small sediments to large boulders while a hyper concentrated-flow lahar contains much smaller particles. The composition of the lahar influences the manner in which it flows, with large sediment size causing it to be more viscous while the smaller sediment size causes a much thinner slurry. Due to the high speeds that the lahars flow and the density of the mudflows, the lahars can…

    huge amounts of volcanic ash and rock in the air, blanketing the sun and turning day into night. As the cloud collapsed, it triggered the second phase- the Peléan phase, where pyroclastic flows of andesite rock, and molten lava engulfed Pompeii, and Herculaneum. These cities were buried in fine ash, pumice, and pyroclastic deposits, while a toxic cloud of gas descended upon Pompeii (History.com staff, 2009). Around 2,000 died from the eruption, either from suffocation on toxic gas, burning and…

    The great Crater Lake in Oregon was once a stratovolcano named Mount Mazama. Mount Mazama had a very catastrophic pyroclastic eruption that produce about 12 cubic miles of magma. The Mount Mazama volcano has been recorded as one of the largest volcano eruption that has taken place in the last 10,000 years. The Mount Mazama volcano was one of the major volcanoes at the Cascade Range. The range of Mount Mazama’s summit was roughly between 11,000 and 12,000 prior to its climatic eruption. The…

    Shield volcanoes are formed by many different lava flows that layer over time. Mount Kilauea is a well-known shield volcano in Hawaii. Before it erupts, it is known to inflate as magma pushes upward from its magma chamber. Seismic activity usually precludes Kilauea’s eruptions by about 24 hours. Their eruptions consist mostly of lava flowing out of the summit or through lava tubes in what is known as a flank eruption. The lava that flows from these volcanoes is highly basaltic in nature. Because…

Composite volcanoes can create deadly mud and debris flows called lahars which travel down the mountain and can destroy and bury everything in its path. Unlike…

    and Mount Santa Maria have many similarities and differences, they both have a high level of silica, they are both surrounded by subduction boundaries, they were both formed by converging boundaries moving north, Mount Santa Maria has ejected a pyroclastic flow, Mount Tambora has caused a volcanic winter and limestone runs under it, creating more sulfur dioxide, and Mount Santa Maria has been dormant for over 500 years, while Mount Tambora has had smaller, more frequent…
