WHAT DOES VOLCANIC BOMB MEAN IN ENGLISH?

volcanic bomb

Volcanic bomb

A volcanic bomb is a mass of molten rock larger than 64 mm in diameter, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. They cool into solid fragments before they reach the ground. Because volcanic bombs cool after they leave the volcano, they do not have grains making them extrusive igneous rocks. Volcanic bombs can be thrown many kilometres from an erupting vent, and often acquire aerodynamic shapes during their flight. Bombs can be extremely large; the 1935 eruption of Mount Asama in Japan expelled bombs measuring 5–6 m in diameter up to 600 m from the vent. Volcanic bombs are a significant volcanic hazard, and can cause severe injuries and death to people in an eruption zone. One such incident occurred at Galeras volcano in Colombia in 1993; six people near the summit were killed and several seriously injured by lava bombs when the volcano erupted unexpectedly. Volcanic bombs are known to occasionally explode from internal gas pressure as they cool, but contrary to some claims in popular culture, explosions are rare; in most cases most of the damage they cause is from impact.
