when a volcano explodes what you’d see is this column of dark material rising
is this column of dark material rising
is this column of dark material rising up into the sky and that’s what we call
up into the sky and that’s what we call
up into the sky and that’s what we call volcanic ash volcanic ash is not really

airplanes can coat the engines in a fine
airplanes can coat the engines in a fine film of glass which stops them working
when volcanic ash falls on power lines
when volcanic ash falls on power lines we can coat these lines and a fine layer
we can coat these lines and a fine layer
we can coat these lines and a fine layer of volcanic dust when this becomes wet
of volcanic dust when this becomes wet
of volcanic dust when this becomes wet it actually becomes conductive and this

so now we have a giant ash cloud
so now we have a giant ash cloud drifting out over East Asia and volcanic
