Volcanic Eruption 🌋

Image
A  volcanic eruption  occurs when hot materials from the Earth's interior are thrown out of a  volcano .  Lava ,  rocks ,  dust , and gas compounds are some of these "ejecta". Eruptions can come from side branches or from the top of the volcano. Some eruptions are terrible  explosions  that throw out huge amounts of rock and  volcanic ash  and can kill many people. Some are quiet outflows of hot  lava . Several more complex types of volcanic eruptions have been described by  volcanologists . These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of eruption has been seen. Some volcanoes may show only one type of eruption during a period of activity, while others may show a range of types in a series. The volcanic explosivity index (commonly shortened VEI) is a scale, from 0 to 8, for measuring the strength of eruptions. It is used by the  Smithsonian Institution 's Global Volcanism Program in assessi...

Beauty That Surrounds Us

One answer that Emerson offers is that “the simple perception of natural forms is a delight.”  When we think of beauty in nature, we might most immediately think of things that dazzle the senses – the prominence of a mountain, the expanse of the sea, the unfolding of the life of a flower....

Beauty is the Ascription

Beauty  is the ascription of a property or characteristic to an animal, idea, object, person or place that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure or satisfaction. Beauty is studied as part of aesthetics, culture, social psychology and sociology. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection. Ugliness is the opposite of beauty. The experience of "beauty" often involves an interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of attraction and emotional   well-being. Because this can be a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder."Often, given the observation that empirical observations of things that are considered beautiful often align among groups in consensus, beauty has been stated ...
