And now, the History of Volcanoes with Dr. Textbook.
00:00:00
Hello! Did you know that the word volcano comes from the Roman god of fire Vulcan?
00:00:06
And that the early Hawaiians told legends of their goddess of fire Pele.
00:00:14
In the year 79 A.D., the Romans were the first ones to write an eyewitness account of an actual volcanic eruption
00:00:19
Falling ash spewed out of Mount Vesuvius, and the ash and the mud flows combined to bury the nearby city of Pompeii
00:00:26
thus killing about 2,000 people.
00:00:33
2,000 years later, archaeologists actually unearthed this ancient city of Pompeii.
00:00:35
In April 1902, Mount Pele, not related to the Hawaiian goddess of fire, in the Caribbean Sea exploded
00:00:40
killing 28,000 residents in just seconds in the little town of St. Pierre.
00:00:47
Closer to home, in 1980, the sleeping giant Mount St. Helens erupted
00:00:53
to become the most destructive volcano in U.S. history.
00:00:58
The eruption had the force of 10 million tons of dynamite
00:01:02
and shook the Cascade mountain range in Oregon and the state of Washington.
00:01:06
Soon, in honor of all the gods of fire, I will attempt to find out what really makes a volcano come alive.
00:01:11
Oh! Oh!
