How to use eruption in a sentence?
Even a large eruption on the island won't pose a risk to the Sendai plant.
New Zealand-based volcanologist Shane Cronin:
This is an eruption best witnessed from space, the large and explosive lateral spread of the eruption suggests that it was probably the biggest one since about the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.
It’s difficult to tell how big an eruption might be. Knowing how much eruptible magma is down there may tell us.
The eruption injected a huge amount of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere, which would have quickly spread across the world, oxidising to form sulphate aerosols, these volcanic aerosols reduce net shortwave radiation causing widespread, long lasting surface cooling. They also lead to a reduction in global rainfall, while wettening some dry regions and causing dynamic changes in the large-scale circulation of both ocean and atmosphere.
At any moment, an eruption can occur.
