Bereniz,
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty neat that at the time you were writing your entry, this volcano was erupting. I found your post intriguing, because it varies dramatically from Italy (my country). Whereas Italy is home to many volcanoes, 3 of which have erupted within the past year, it seems as if the Bahamas does not have any active volcanoes itself. Since the Bahamas is surrounded by ocean, I would have thought that maybe it was home to even one underwater active volcano. It was interesting to read your post because it proved my assumptions to be wrong. The closest active volcano being about a 5 hour flight is completely new information to me!

How crazy to have an active volcano right now while we are learning about them. It must have been very interesting to learn about the active volcano right now and understand what is actually going on. Before when I heard about eruptions I had no idea what was happening just that they were dangerous and heat came out of it. No I know about under water activity and tonic plates and contributing factors.
ReplyDeleteVery nice research-sorry you do not have volcanoes this week!(:
