TIL: Volcanic Veraciousness (Original Article)
Today I Learned (til) some facts about volcanoes since the new tags have given me extra incentive to further my knowledge on cool topics like natural disasters and destructive forces that we have no control over.
If you studied the two gifs above, you would notice that lightning is occurring along side the erupting lava from the core of a volcanic opening. As if volcanoes weren't crazy enough, lightning also is full of searing hot energy ready to destroy whatever is in its path and light ablaze matter as it ricochets its electrical current outward like spiderwebs.
The reasoning for lightning occurring in ash plume clouds within a volcano is still being researched and investigated but some scientists speculate that it could be the matter being shot out of the volcano and the transformative occurrence of positive and negative charges of electromagnetic energy moving throughout the atmosphere inside these blazing hot ash plume clouds.
The toxic gases and hot ash can suffocate you and burn you to death if inhaled and come into close contact with it in high volumes and density.
As dangerous as volcanoes are, they do create beautiful and surreal canvasses of art such as this gif above with a orange and reddening of the sky of all ash clouds being expelled from an active volcano.
As well as here below.
Volcanoes only erupt because of the funneling pressured magma that rushes up out of the magma chambers as liquid rock through cracked and weakened layers of rock beneath the Earth's crust which stems from the Earth's core inferno.
When the magma surfaces, it is then referred to as Lava.
Lava makes me think of the super sweet dessert Baklava but that's neither here nor there, but my stomach says otherwise
There's too much to write about concerning the wonder and awes of volcanoes and their deadly beauty. So I'll cut this lesson here and keep it relatively short.
By the way, If you don't know what voraciousness or veracity means from the title of this post, here are two definitions compliments of my iPhone's software dictionary which I had screen shot for you all.
It is always nice to expand your vocabulary whenever possible and I hope I can introduce you more new words as we journey forward in this literary exploration together.
Thanks for reading my post in its entirety, hope you learned something new.

My very own wonderful gif logo provided to me by the generous and kindhearted @papa-pepper Thanks again very much!
With so many dangers erupting from the volcano - makes me wonder why so many people get up close and personal to take pictures - think Hawaii...or do fly overs in helicopters. Volcanoes are way too unpredictable for me. I speak veraciously about this matter :)
Thank you very much for reading and being the first to comment. I'm really glad this sparked some internal thoughts. I also too wonder why people can be so crazy to run nearby volcanoes. No protective gear whatsoever can stop you from being devoured by lava if you were to fall in a weak spot of rock you happened to break through when exploring the territory of unpredictable destruction. I commend you and give kudos for using "veraciously" in such relative context. It reads naturally.
It is completely amazing what incredible power can suddenly burst forth out of the earth.
Truly, it is a terrifying event to witness, but the aftermath can be quite pleasant, like Hawaii, right?
Thank you very much for checking my new area of writing out bro. Exactly, we must thank God for post-volcanic destruction Hawaii, a very beautiful set of tropical islands. I still have yet to travel there.
thanks for sharing your views and finding regarding the volcano and lava... i'd love to read about underwater volcanoes and the effect on water when the erupt.. thanks
Thank you very much for reading and commenting. Appreciate the feedback and you're welcome. You are my first reader to give me a request, and I shall find time to write another article then on that matter.
Volcanoes, like anything else in nature, is so beautiful and yet has the potential for big destruction. For me, it's part of the Earth's recycling plant; tectonic plates, shifts and fissures, the development of new land... Fascinating.
Definitely fascinating to say the least. Sounds like you also have some great knowledge to share with this community as well. Feel free to do your own post regarding more aspects, there are many to cover about these wondrous liquid fire filled mountains

Thank you for the update
I too know a little about volcanos...
Thanks for commenting. Please feel free to share your knowledge as well. There is a lot to know about them, one could write a complete analysis and study book on them as opposed to such a short post as mine, which barely scratches the surface as an introductory glance at their devastating power.
