The British Parliament passed a law granting independence in July 1947. The law gave people only one month to decide which country they wanted to live in and to move there. As millions of people began to move, more violence broke out.
Calderas form when an enormous magma chamber under, what was probably a pretty ginormous volcano, empties and collapses, causing the land above it to collapse as well. An explosive caldera-forming eruption has never been witnessed first hand, but we know that they should pretty fearsome spectacles. Much smaller calderas atop effusive volcanoes (hawaiian style) have been observed. So, formation: maars form when a vent intersects groundwater and blasts out the overlying material.
Several types of volcanic eruptions âduring which lava, tephra (ash, lapilli, volcanic bombs and blocks), and assorted gases are expelled from a volcanic vent or fissure âhave been distinguished by volcanologists. These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of behavior has been observed. Two years into its life, pyroclastic activity began to wane, and the outpouring of lava from its base became its primary mode of activity. 2  Eruptions ceased in 1952, and the final height was 424 m (1,391 ft). 3  This was the first time that scientists are able to observe the complete life cycle of a volcano.
