The document is a collection of photographs documenting the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in Iceland in April 2010. The photos show the ash plume billowing from the volcano, covering the landscape and glaciers in ash. They also depict the major disruption caused, with aircraft grounded across Europe due to the airspace being closed by the drifting ash cloud. Farmers are seen trying to protect their livestock from the ash. The collection provides a visual record of the eruption and its far-reaching impacts through a series of images over several days.
The volcano continues to rumble and hurl ash skyward, if at a slightly diminished rate now, as the dispersing ash plume has dropped closer to the ground, and the World Health Organization has issued a health warning to Europeans with respiratory conditions. Collected here are some images from Iceland over the past few days.

WHAT IS HAPPENING? AIRLINES ON RED ALERT AFTER VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND. After a week of seismic activity rattled the uninhabited area 200 miles (320 kilometers) east of the capital of Reykjavik with thou-sands of earthquakes, Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano began erupting Saturday (Aug. 23rd) under the country's largest glacier. An Iceland volcanologist said it was not clear when, or if, the eruption would melt through the ice — which is between 100 and 400 meters (330 feet and 1,300 feet) thick — and send steam and ash into the air. On Saturday, Icelandic authorities declared a no-fly zone of 100 nautical miles by 140 nautical miles around the eruption, but did not shut the country's airspace. An eruption at the Katla volcano could be disastrous, both for Iceland and other nations. Presentation courtesy of Dr. Walter Hays, Global Alliance for Disaster Reduction
A amp B 3 The term tephra defines all pieces of rock fra.pdfsanjaychauhan1530
#A & B
3) The term tephra defines all pieces of rock fragments ejected into the air by an erupting volcano.
Most tephra falls back onto the slopes of the volcano, enlarging it. But, billions of smaller and
lighter pieces less than 2mm in diameter (less than one-tenth of an inch), termed ash, are carried
by winds for thousands of miles. Falling ash, even in low concentrations, can disrupt human
activities hundreds of miles downwind, and drifting clouds of fine ash can endanger jet aircraft
thousands of miles away. When it has settled on and near the ground, volcanic ash threatens the
health of people and livestock, damages electronics and machinery, and interrupts power
generation, water and transportation systems, and telecommunications (USGS) The Eyjafjallajkull
volcano in Iceland erupted spectacularly in April 2010. The heat from the lava beneath the crater
of the glacier-covered summit quickly melted and vaporized the glacier ice above. Mud, ice, and
meltwater running off the volcano swelled local rivers and streams, flooding farmland and
damaging roads. Expanding gasses from the rapid vaporization of ice caused explosions that
resulted from the contact of water and magma. The hydro-phreatic explosions sent a plume of
steam and ash almost 7 miles (11km) into the atmosphere. The plume was driven southeast,
across the North Atlantic Ocean to northern Europe, by the prevailing winds. Fearing the damage
to commercial aircraft and potential loss of life that could result from flying through the ash cloud,
many European countries closed their national airspace and grounded flights for several days.

Source: Wikipedia a) Heat from magma can change water suddenly to steam, which can expand
to more than a thousand times the original volume of water. The sudden expansion results in an
explosive force that can blast a volcano to pieces and create large amounts of volcanic ash. Name
the type of explosion produced when water in groundwater, seawater, or even melting glacial ice
or snow comes into contact with magma. b) Referring to the ash plume map above, estimate the
percentage of the planet's circumference the ash plume traveled in the first 2 weeks of April 2010.
(Hint: Count the wedge-shaped sections that show dark and light gray ash. Divide the number of
sections with ash by the total number of sections. For example, 6 sections with ash divided by 24
total sections =6 divided by 24=.25 or 25% of the globe. Do not use these numbers. Count the
sections on the image above and show your calculations..
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
