The 1883 eruption of Mount Krakatoa caused massive destruction with ash and smoke leading to a dramatic temperature drop and a tsunami that destroyed ships and towns. The lighthouse keeper survived and warned others of the danger. Many casualties resulted from tsunamis and volcanic mudflows, not just the eruption itself. The eruption also had long-lasting climate effects, causing global temperatures to drop for several years. Let's look at this and other natural events that have changed our planet. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD is famous for being caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but it wasn’t just the volcano itself that wiped out the city. What really did the most damage were the intense clouds of hot gas and ash, called pyroclastic flows, that swept through the city. These flows moved incredibly fast, destroying everything in their path and suffocating people instantly. Many of Pompeii's residents had already evacuated when the eruption began, but others stayed behind and didn’t survive. Buildings were buried under tons of ash, which preserved the city for centuries. Today, Pompeii is a snapshot of Roman life frozen in time, but it's a reminder of the deadly power of nature. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Chinese scientists recently discovered an unusual crystal on the Moon. They found out that this crystal contains an element that can literally replace nuclear fuel. These crystals were formed as a result of volcanic activity, just like some garnets on the Earth. And yep, the place where they discovered these crystals also suffered from volcanoes... 1.2 billion years ago. Are they dangerous for us down on Earth, or could we make good use of them?

The leaning tower of Pisa is one of the most famous Instagram-able spots in the world. There are pictures of people leaning on it or pretending to support it so that it doesn't fall. But did you know there’re more leaning towers out there? I’m gonna tell you all about it. Also, you’ll find out why Venice is always flooded and why London’s Big Ben is tilting.
