-dallol means dissolution or disintegration

Dallol (volcano)--dallol means dissolution or disintegration




Elevation −48 m (−157 ft) Location Location Ethiopia Range Danakil Depression Coordinates 14°14′30″N 40°18′00″E Geology Type Explosion craters Last eruption 1926.--Dallol is a volcanic explosion crater (or maar) in the Danakil Depression, northeast of the Erta Ale Range in Ethiopia. It has been formed by the intrusion of basaltic magma in Miocene salt deposits and subsequent hydrothermal activity.[1] Phreatic eruptions took place here in 1926, forming Dallol Volcano, numerous other eruption craters dot the salt flats nearby. These craters are the lowest known subaerial volcanic vents in the world, at

Last time such explosion took place in 1926, some 1.5 km to the south-west from the main crater of Dallol Volcano. Now in the site of this explosion is located deep, 30 m wide, round pit, filled with orange brine.

The 1.5 by 3 km large crater of Dallol Volcano has formed by the collapse of salt layers. Multiple hot springs above the hot magma have washed out the salt layers, leaving voids, which at some moment have collapsed.

would there be any explosion in future ? YES !! an explosion can happen every second . though this is supposed to be a deserted area but people don't live very far away from this place .

thanks for reading and viewing it



phir bhi poochhate ho ki khuda kya hai ? how can you doubt the existence of GOD ? how you can question GOD ?
