Powerful Shockwave during Explosive Eruption of Sakurajima Volcano, Japan

  • Sakurajima Volcano is capable of powerful explosive activity which can result in the production of shock waves. In the past, windows have been broken by these shockwaves at distances of over 10km, such as in the nearby city of Kagoshima. During damp conditions, the passing shockwave causes brief condensation of water, making the shockwave visible. The video shows the same eruption two times using different optical lengths so both details and the passage of the shockwave over a wider area can be seen clearly.

    Interesting how the birds chirped up their alarm calls almost immediately as the eruption started from your vantage point which I estimated was about 2'400 m from the volcano -- counted the time it took the sound to reach the camera mic after the initial shock wave erupted form the cone (second camera angle at 0:25 to 0:32 )...
    t = ( 32 - 25 ) = 7s
    d = 7s x 340 m/s = 2'380 m.

      MelioraCogito: Sound travel much faster through soil than through air. The birds probably felt and 'hear' the sound differently from how humans experience the sound and the birds thus felt and react faster to the tremor.

    Ok, time it took from the initial explosion to the time the shockwave hit the camera:
    Approximately 7.4 seconds.
    Speed of sound: 343.2 m/s.
    The volcano is approximately 2,532.28 metres away, With a little margin of error due to the slightly faster speed that the shockwave moved through the air.
    I think my calculations are correct, can anyone who understands of this help me?? Im only 13, but i love physics.

    This is an impressive catch of the Sakurajima volcano erupt, and emit plumes of ash, and then the blasts can be heard after the shockwave took place. This being the most active volcano in Japan, worries some researchers on volcanology, that studied it's activity for quite some time that a huge explosion can take place at any time. However, US volcanologists have seen dangerous eruptions from these locations. The volcano sits on a southern island in Japan and frequents eruptions every two to four hours.
