Dig into the science of how new volcanoes form, and what causes their unpredictable eruptions.
—
In February of 1942, Mexican farmer Dionisio Pulido thought he heard thunder coming from his cornfield. However, the sound wasn’t coming from the sky. The source was a large, smoking crack emitting gas and ejecting rocks, and would come to be known as the volcano Paricutin. Where do new volcanoes like this come from, and what triggers their unpredictable eruption? Steven Anderson investigates.

TED-Ed is so smart

Why volcanos always pop up through the tip of a hill and not through a plane land?
"A large smoking crack" "Over the next nine years it's lava and ash would cover over 200 square kilometers"
Shits about to get real.
'

Wow~~ thank u for the tmi
SUN ALSO MEANS SHUT UP NOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
SUN
RGO
TED-Ed is the best explainer in the world
lol the earth has pimples
いぇ

1st Coil heat
2nd Coil fire
3rd Coil melt
Similarly world melting in form of volcanic lava etc
