Volcanic Eruption Could Cause Town To Collapse

Volcanic Eruption Could Cause Town To Collapse The January 14 volcanic eruption is still threatening the residents of the Icelandic town of Grindavik due to the lava that poured through fissures on the edge of town. The 4,000 residents of the town were evacuated just before the volcano began erupting, but now the town faces a new risk of “crack collapse.“ The Icelandic Met Office said, “The risk associated with cracks is still assessed as very high. It is the hazard that is now called ’crack collapse’ and describes a hazard that may exist where cracks are hidden beneath an unstable surface that may give way.“ Subscribe to RT Источник: RT News
