Spectacular rare smoke rings created by Mount Etna are similar to dolphins' bubble rings.
The activity of Etna, the largest active volcano in Europe, continues with the ring shown in the sky. The rings that this powerful “Lady of the Rings” created in the sky got the attention. White smoke rings are mostly made of water vapor. Now it is breaking its records.
They are the reason why Etna got the nickname “Lady of the Ring.” Those spectacular volcanic rings are made of steam and generated by bursts of gas bubbles inside a narrow duct over a magma chamber. But no worries, according to the expert that doesn’t mean a big explosion is on the way.The answer is in the frequency of the rings. As Boris Behncke, a volcanologist noted in the year 2000 it made about 5000 of them.
“Southeast Crater continues emitting countless graceful vapor rings , a phenomenon never seen like this before,” he wrote. This phenomenon has been studied since the late nineteenth century. According to the data the physicist Sir William Thomson who gave the rings the name of “volcanic vortex rings”. The first sightings date back to 1724.they are similar to how dolphins blow bubble rings. “They compress the water in their mouths. Use their tongue they push it out of their mouths and create a pressure that forms a ring,” she added.
At Etna, a spectacular period that lasted several months was observed in 2000. One of his vents created hundreds of rings of smoke every day. Volcanic vortex rings are not unique for Etna. Volcanic rings can be seen over the many skies worldwide, from Nicaragua, Iceland, and Alaska to another active ItalianWith nearly 11, 000 feet Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe. Last year it released a huge amount of volcanic ash and smoke in the air., 10.
