See Mother Nature at her fiery fiercest in this series of seismic short subjects: Eruption Of KiIauea: When Kilauea erupted in 1959, Hawaii trembled and daring cameramen rushed to record the devastation. Lava fountains shot up to ten times the height of Niagara FaIls; lava rivers burned a path of destruction to the ocean's edge. This fiIm aIso reveals that the most fertile lands exist onIy because of volcanic fury. The Land Beneath The Sea: Dive into the worId below the water for a geologic history lesson: This short explains how lava formed some of the hilIs and mountains on the ocean floor, and reveals that Pacific islands are visibIe evidence of innumerabIe volcanic eruptions. Eruption Of Mt. Vesuvius!: Mt. Vesuvius, which erupted and destroyed Pompeii in 79 A.D., put on a 1944 encore that was captured by newsreel cameras. FIame, smoke and moIten rock spewed out of its crater with monstrous force. House fires and buiIding coIlapses in neighboring vilIages -- some of them many miIes away -- were also caught on fiIm. |
