英格兰火山学家约翰·默里最近研究发现,有一种类型的火山爆发可能是因暴雨引起的。由此,将来有可能通过简单地观察天气就能提前知道这种火山爆发是否会发生,从而提前准备,避免造成人员伤亡。由暴雨引发的火山爆发被称为“圆丘倒坍”型爆发,是火山爆发中最危险的一种形式。20世纪中有70%以上与火山有关的死亡都是这种类型的火山爆发引起的。默里说,由暴雨引发 The British volcanologist John Murray recently discovered that there is a type of volcanic eruption that may be caused by heavy rain. As a result, in the future, it is possible to know in advance whether this volcanic eruption will occur by simply observing the weather and prepare in advance so as to avoid causing casualties. The volcanic eruption triggered by the torrential rain is known as the “cold dome” type explosion and is the most dangerous form of volcanic eruption. More than 70% of all volcano-related deaths in the 20th century were caused by this type of volcanic eruption. Murray said that it was triggered by rainstorms
