Chaiten Volcano Erupts
Chaiten Volcano, from Chile, errupted yesterday after 9000 years. Over 4500 people were evacuated from south of Chile. The ash was carried across the Andes to Argentina. The geologs didn`t monitorized the volcano because they considered it asleep. Very rarely it happens that the asleep volcanos to wake up and errup. It`s not strange because the humans are responsable for this. The poluation and the global heating lead to this strange behavior.
After more than 9,000 years of silence, Chaitén Volcano in southern Chile erupted on May 2, 2008.
Chile's long-dormant Chaiten volcano spewed clouds of gray smoke, hot rocks and toxic gas on Tuesday, forcing authorities to order the complete evacuation of two nearby towns, media reports said.
More than 4,000 people left the town of Chaiten, 10 kilometers (six miles) from the volcano, after the initial eruption. Several hundred are still waiting to leave. Futaleufu, 70 kilometers (44 miles) to the east, is also being evacuated.
The volcano's column of smoke and ash stretched more than 19 kilometers (12 miles) into the sky on Monday, Chile's National Geology and Mineral Service reported, and it extended well into neighboring Argentina and to the Atlantic Ocean.
