Question

Writeon the recent volcanic eruptions at LA PALMA islands

Answer 1

Answer:

La Palma, like the other islands of the Canary Island archipelago, is a volcanic ocean island. The volcano rises almost 7 km (4 mi) above the floor of the Atlantic Ocean. There is road access from sea level to the summit at 2,426 m (7,959 ft), which is marked by an outcrop of rocks called Los Muchachos ("The Lads").

The La Soufrière volcano on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent began a series of explosive eruptions on April 9, sending clouds of hot ash some 20,000 feet into the air, blanketing much of the island in ash and causing water and electricity outages.

Since about 125,000 years ago (~125 ka), all subaerial eruptions on La Palma have been associated with the Cumbre Vieja, with eruptions ranging over the whole 25-kilometre-long ridge.

Answer 2

• As we know that La Palma is a volcanic ocean island.

• On September 19 the eruption began from fissures on the western flanks of the Cumbre Vieja crater on La Palma.

• On the Spanish Canary Island of La Palma, a volcano erupted on Sunday.
• It sends lava shooting into the air.

• It streams in rivers towards two villages.

• From the Cumbre Vieja national park in the south of the island.
