Is Nishinoshima's Eruption Producing a Continent?!

30 мин.

An eruption occurred at Nishinoshima in November 2013. Over 400 million tons of lava flowed out, causing the island's surface area to become approximately 12 times larger. While volcanic activity has since decreased, researchers' interest in the volcanic rocks has increased. This is because the rocks' components are similar to that of continental rock rather than rocks found in the sea. Some say that the "egg of a continent" is being formed here. What does this mean? Join us to find out!
