Crazy scenes in Indonesia as the Mount Ruang volcano erupts again

Just love the way the text square is placed over the most relevant part of the pictures…great editing Sky!

People who are not aware about volcanoes activities would react exactly like I see in some comments. Fun fact: Around 30-45 volcanoes erupts around the world everyday. But these eruptions are on minor VEI scale of 0-3 only. VEI 4 eruption is considered a major one can happen every 1 to 4 years. But VEI 5 eruptions such as this are rare, the last 2 happened in 2022 in Tonga and 2011 in Chile. VEI 6-8 are the most rare type of eruptions since they are super strong. The last VEI 6 eruption happened in Mount Pinatubo in 1991, Philippines which lowered down Earth's temperature for a year. Last VEI 7 eruption happened in Indonesia's Mount Tambora in 1815 which caused the "Year Without Summer" and the last ultraplinian eruption, a super powerful and strong eruption, a VEI 8 one scale happened in New Zealand's Taupo Lake Caldera approximately 25000 years ago, volcanoes that erupted VEI 8 are also known as Supervolcanoes. Now, although VEI 9 scale is not use yet. New research on Toba's last super eruption 74000 years ago suggest that this supervolcano actually erupted 14k km3 of Tephra, making it the strongest eruption in History and a true and only VEI 9 eruption, it's almost 3 times than Wah Wah Spring's last super eruption and 7 times stronger than Yellowstone's largest super eruption. But still, nothing beats Flood Basalt eruptions, these monsters are huge that would make any supervolcano like nothing.

Geology hub has been covering this and other Volcano news much better than Sky News.

Indonesia still has 127 active volcanoes ready to erupt at any time 🌋

A total of 11,000 people were evacuated from the blast zone, including those who live on the flanks of Ruang itself. Thankfully, there have been no deaths or injuries reported. They got everyone out in time. The eruptive sequence was rated VEI 5, with a total tephra bulk ever so slightly exceeding Mt. St. Helens' 1980 eruption.

nature can be so beautiful yet so dangerous.

Do you absolutely have to impose the captions over the half of the screen? Why not to get rid of images whatsoever, and just put the captions out? The editor is obviously clueless and doesn't care about the end product.

This Volcano already erupted a VEI 5 scale. It erupted more tephra now than St. Helen's VEI 5 eruption in 1980. I just hope it won't have another one that will reach Pinatubo VEI 6 level. This is now the biggest eruption of the century, although Tonga erupted high end VEI 5, almost 6 eruption in 2022, but since it was short-lived, it's not considered that strong.

To much emissions we need all volcanos changed to electric.

How much we as a country did we reduce our Co2? Just this one volcano can produce 10,000,000 tons of Co2 in one eruption. Co2 is vital for life gas just like oxygen and nitrogen etc.

Beware could End up like Krakatoa Same pattern.. 🤔😬😬😬

Good morning Australia 🇦🇺 Cheers from the states

Massive eruption. Incredible to see.

I mean, the planet is alive, and I'm not surprised she's constantly having growing pains. We all just get to hold on and go for the ride. Treat her well 😁

If you were hoping to see beautiful pictures of the volcano, too bad Sky news places massive obnoxiously oversized banners that block the majority of the pictures😵

Every Australian Surfer: "Here, Hold my beer..."

i watch these news sometimes however geologyhub is the one i know the most

That looks like a dragon coming down out of the clouds on them. Pray for our brothers and sisters!
