Science Sunday!
I’ve been thinking about volcanoes. Why? No reason, really.
This seems right up RoadRich’s alley, and possibly Lawrence’s as well. I’m trying to find this on blu-ray, but the only versions I’ve found so far are not US region discs.
(What I really want to do is a double-bill of this and “Krakatoa, East of Java”. The latter actually does seem to be available on a US region disc at a reasonable price.)
Anyway…
I like this video because it clearly solves two problems at once: heating up the ravioli and opening the can. And because the ravioli is in the can, you avoid the gas problems you get when you try to toast marshmallows over hot lava. Now if you could just figure out a way to contain the hot ravioli once the can explodes.
Anyway, that was just the appetizer. From Gresham College and visiting professor Sir Stephen Sparks CBE, “Enormous Volcanic Eruptions”.
Bonus #1: “Volcano!”, a NatGeo documentary.
Bonus #2: “Life on the Rim: Working as a Volcanologist”, also from NatGeo, but short.
Bonus #3: Professor Tamsin Mather on “Volcanoes: from fuming vents to extinction events”.
