Eruption of Mt. Tongoriro.
Yesterday on 21st November Mt.
Tongoriro erupted in the clear blue sky. All that the people could see was a
big ash cloud in the sky. The eruption lasted for five minutes. There was a
group of school kids from an Intermediate school. One child cried out “Look”
and everybody turned to see this huge cloud of black smoke. They were very
scared. The smoke went up to about 3 kilometers in the sky so air flights were
cancelled for low flying planes because the smoke will wreck the rotors on the
plane. The people are warned not to go close to the mountain because it might
erupt again. This shows us that we do we do not know enough about volcanic
eruptions.
