Mount Ruang Eruption Raises Tsunami Concerns

Mount Ruang, a volcano in Indonesia, has erupted multiple times since Tuesday, prompting concerns of a potential tsunami. The Center for Volcanology and Geological Disaster Mitigation raised the alert status to the highest level due to increased activity. Thousands of residents have been evacuated, and officials are worried about a potential collapse of the volcano causing a dangerous tsunami. The region's history of seismic activity and its location on the "Pacific Ring of Fire" make Indonesia prone to volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and tsunamis.

"Indonesia's Mount Ruang Volcano Erupts, Forcing Evacuations and Sparking Tsunami Fears"

Indonesia's Mount Ruang has erupted multiple times, with the latest eruption sending ash nearly 70,000 feet high and prompting the evacuation of hundreds of people. The eruption has raised concerns about potential aerosols entering the stratosphere, and authorities have urged residents and tourists to stay at least 4 kilometers away from the volcano. The volcanic ash has posed dangers to aviation, and satellite imagery showed a massive eruption accompanied by prolific lightning. While the impact on Earth's climate is uncertain, volcanic aerosols in the stratosphere can have subtle effects.
