A volcanic bomb is a mass of partially molten rock (tephra) larger than 64 mm in Ø, formed when a volcano ejects viscous fragments of lava during an eruption. This one was observed on Cumbre Vieja volcano on Dec 3, 2021 [video: buff.ly/2ZZjiyI-] x.com/ireunderworld/…
@Rainmaker1973 I don’t have a ruler on me, but I’d say that one qualifies!
@Rainmaker1973 Will never happen again if we give the government lots of money and drive windup cars!😊
@Rainmaker1973 Yes, Lava Bomb is larger than 64 mm. Just that this is not it. Lava Bomb is ejected and flies through the air.
@Rainmaker1973 @Kaguchwan I am no volcanologist, but understand the rock fragments are ejected to the air, and then fall, hence the term “bomb”. It happens mostly in explosive eruptions
