Why Do Volcanoes Erupt at Certain Times?
火山为什么在特定时间喷发?
-
Volcanoes erupt when pressure builds up inside Earth's crust.火山在地壳内部压力积聚时喷发。
-
Magma rises slowly from deep hot rock layers below the surface.岩浆从地表下方炽热的深层岩石层缓慢上升。
-
Gas bubbles grow as magma moves upward and pressure drops.岩浆上涌、压力降低时,气体气泡逐渐变大。
-
When gas pressure becomes too high, it breaks open the volcano.当气体压力过高时,便会冲破火山口。
-
Earthquakes nearby can also trigger eruptions by shaking magma chambers.附近的地震也可能通过震动岩浆房而触发喷发。
-
Some volcanoes erupt regularly, like Old Faithful geyser in Yellowstone.有些火山会定期喷发,例如黄石公园的老忠实间歇泉。
-
Others stay quiet for centuries before sudden powerful bursts.另一些火山则可能沉寂数百年,再突然猛烈爆发。
-
Scientists monitor ground swelling and gas emissions to predict eruptions.科学家通过监测地面隆起和气体排放来预测喷发。
