The symmetrical Mount St. Helens.
We all know the history of that which goes through the forest and a tree falls over and dies. The truth is that it is a story that I just invented, but has a message that I think everyone should know, and that message is that when the lady (and mother) nature says, "Here am I), all can do is start running and cross your fingers so you do not touch and Dines, ie, you die.
One of the things I've always been fascinated by nature and reality, is impossible, at least for me hand, if unable to give me account of all that is taking place at a time. That is, it is difficult to be aware that the trees are now performing photosynthesis to feed once, while a pair of standard birds feed their young, who are growing the food that they give their doting parents. All this takes place on a planet orbiting a star elliptically normalucha called sun, which in turn turns the center of a galaxy we call the Milky Way, which in turn is on a collision course with the Andromeda galaxy. All this while our planet take place countless physical phenomena such as tides, barometric changes in the atmosphere the slow movement of the convection cells of the earth's crust, creating ridges and mountains.
Mountains, that most beautiful and picturesque places. Where everyone has dreamed of going one day to spend a well deserved vacation to get away from this fast-paced world we have. Of course, the mountains, or dangerous, or is full of assholes who go skiing on weekends with his girlfriend or a boyfriend named Monty called Borja.
are various kinds of mountains. Are the high, low, the hills and hillocks and my favorite kind of mountain, volcanoes. Also in vogue now as many are getting screwed holidays because of a volcano in Iceland. But there was a volcano, which hit a curious pepinazo relatively recently, which we have videos and everything, which makes it more interesting, was not the Krakatoa, but it's something. So let's talk about the Mount Saint Helens.
Ravages volcanic botched surgery.
As no doubt many of you know, Mount Saint Helens, has been in the picturesque county of Skamania, in the beautiful state of Washington in the northwest of our beloved USA. It is a pretty active stratovolcano on May 18, 1980 hit a sizeable outbreak and gave a considerable shock the inhabitants of the region. Mount Saint Helens
measured in its heyday nothing despicable altitude of 2950 meters. Also as you can see in the pictures is a very pretty little mountain and above all very symmetrical. Symmetric Tan won the title of "Mount Fuji of America", I personally prefer other mountains Fuji ... ... if not I understand. The fact is that the place was the most picturesque, all very nice, with its hundreds of thousands of trees, with their animals wandering around, houses in the mountains, etc etc.
The fact is I who am a person who pays attention to common sense, I have a saying. That saying says that never in your fucking life you dare to live next to a volcano. If you have nothing to live next to a volcano ... always have your car ready just in case. I am one of those people who cling to that nasty habit of surviving as that fat clings to the last leg of chicken.
did not want to ashes? Well, take two cups.
Well, the fact is that one day the precious Mount Saint Helens, he entered a gas such that you are in the bellies and you can not remove the top or the bottom, until the bat came in eruption. Erupt That's not so bad. It is quite normal in a volcano, especially if it is an active volcano as it was the Saint Helens. Moreover, geologists who monitored the activity of the volcano as expected. The normal average of earthquakes Light (4 degrees on the Richter scale) was 3 or 4 a day. The days before the great eruption the number of earthquakes increased to 55. It does not take a geologist to know that something would happen.
terremosotos The trouble is that as these were many, weakened somewhat the north side of the mountain, pretty face as she said the locals. This at first did not seem important. The trouble is that when the May 18, 1980, specifically at 8:32 AM, there was an earthquake a little harder than normal, with the epicenter just below the mountain. This caused the collapse of the north face the mountain, causing one of the largest landslides in recorded history. This, in turn, left exposed a lot of lava and magma to be subjected to lower pressure exploded. Blew up big time, throwing tons of ash and volcanic material into the atmosphere, causing a fairly large ash cloud. With the same consequences today, thousands of canceled flights and a lot of passengers stranded with frayed nerves, curious no?. We humans have mobile phones, a space station and millions of wonders, but a volcanic eruption leaves us in checkmate.
got there Ash Chiquito where he lost his sandal.
Then came the big bang pyroclastic flows, the destucción of hundreds of square miles of forest, killing 57 people and thousands of animals.
Among them was a charismatic host who became famous, Harry Truman. An old innkeeper who lived all his life by the volcano and despite warnings from the authorities refused to evacuate your home. His body was never found so naturally I was dead.
In total it was estimated that the energy released in all that pifostio that was mounted, was more or less equivalent to 27,000 Hiroshima bombs. It's very interesting to see that Nature is not walks with tiny at the time to show your power, but what is even more curious is what we, humans, can be mounted with a tenth of that energy. Basically we can destroy ourselves with nothing and less energy, which are larger than humans. Anyway, surely no one who read this may have played a lot the subject of Icelandic volcanic ash, many do not allow us podemmos travel at this time of year, how good you are at home! Well, I hope you enjoyed the ashes and especially graphic documents provided, and if not enjoy, I said!
