The world’s loudest sound caused shock waves 100,000 times that of a hydrogen bomb

The loudest sound ever recorded shattered the eardrums of sailers over 50 kilometres away, sent shock waves around the world several times over, and could be heard clearly by 50 geological locations covering over 10 percent of the globe.

On 27 August 1883, the Earth made the loudest noise in recorded history. Emanating from the island of Krakatoa, which sits between the islands of Java and Sumatra in Indonesia, the sound could be heard clearly almost 5,000 kilometres away and by people across 50 different geological locations around the world.

According to Aatish Bhatia at Nautilus, about 3,200 kilometres away from Krakatoa, residents of New Guinea and Western Australia reported hearing “a series of loud reports, resembling those of artillery in a north-westerly direction”, and over 4,800 kilometres away on the island of Rodrigues in the Indian Ocean, locals reported hearing what sounded to them like the distant roar of heavy gun fire.

The sound was caused by a record-breaking volcanic eruption that sent smoke up almost 80 kilometres into the air as ash fell into the ocean some 20 kilometres away. Burning hot debris was shot from the mouth of Krakatoa’s volcano at speeds of up to 2,575 kilometres per hour, which is more than double the speed of sound.

The event has been called the greatest natural disaster of the 19th century, because with such an incredible release of pressure came severe consequences for the surrounding area. Shock waves from the eruption travelled around the world several times, and created a tsunami over 45 metres tall and weighing 600 tonnes, which ended up hitting the shores of Java and Sumatra and absolutely decimating their coastal regions. Far away in South African waters, ships were being rocked by another set of tsunamis. And you wouldn’t have wanted to be on the water less than 100 kilometres from Krakatoa at the time, as Bhatia explains at Nautilus:

“The British ship Norham Castle was 40 miles (64 kilometres) from Krakatoa at the time of the explosion. The ship’s captain wrote in his log, “So violent are the explosions that the ear-drums of over half my crew have been shattered. My last thoughts are with my dear wife. I am convinced that the Day of Judgement has come.””

According to The Independent, the force of the blast was 10,000 times that of the hydrogen bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima in Japan in 1945, and Bhatia reports that the sound was registered at around 172 decibels over 160 kilometres away. That’s bonkers, seeing as the human threshold for pain is 130 decibels, and the sound of a jet engine when you’re standing right next to it is 150 decibels.

Not quite as explosive (fortunately!) as Krakatoa, but impressive nonetheless, this video shot by a couple in Papua New Guinea shows a volcano erupting and the shock wave that followed. They kept it together a whole lot better than I would have:

Vrei LIMONADA ?? TU VEZI cat costa kg, mai bine o cola….

Acest an avem o noua problema “pe piata”. Iar acest articol mic este pentru cei care nu s-au incumetat sa caute de ce un kg de lamai variaza de la 10 la 15 RON.

 

 Raspunsul este foarte clar : importatorii cer un pret mult mai mare pentru ele.

De ce ?  din cauza productiei scazute din acest an. Datorita inghetului din Argentina ( unul dintre cei mai mari producator de lamai)

India fiind tara care exporta 16% din productia globala de LAMAI, urmata de Mexico, Argentina, Brazilia si Spania.

Cele 5 tari exporta peste 100.000 de tone de lamai in fiecare an.

 

Raportul :  anul trecut : 18kg = 22-24 Euro  cam 1.3 Euro pe KG

anul asta : 18kg = 40 Euro cam 2.2 Euro pe KG  cam o crestere de pret de 40.90 %

Daca e doar de vreo 41% de ce acum este simtitor mai scump ?

Evident importul si din cauza adaosului comerciantilor nostri (si ei trebuie sa aiba o margine de profit)

Alte tari din europa nu exporta LAMAI ??

BA DA  !!  Ai turci care vand KG la 6$ x 3.4307 =  20.5 RON si mai ai Greci care dau KG 2.40 Euro x 4.4212 =10.61088 .

Pai dar de ce nu luam de la Greci ?

Ajunge la aceeasi suma sa coste vanzarea lor.

DAR STAI !! cum ramane cu Spania ?

La ora actuala nu am gasit pretul pietei dar anul trecut au avut o scadere serioasa de 9% in vanzari, ceea ce poate  fi dureros tare. Prevestesc anul asta va inflori exportul de lamai. PROBLEMA daca cererea este mai mare decat oferta, pretul lor sa creasca si sa se alinieze (dar sa fie mai bun) cu cel al pietei globale. Nu prea stiu afaceri internatinale dar daca lumea vrea si poti creste pretul…de ce nu ai ridica putin pretul, nu ?

 

 

Lamai de spania

Ca o concluzie total ambigua si ne la locul ei.  Anul acesta va fi si mai scump sa mancati/beti mai sanatos. Iar in cazul oamenilor carora le place mult sucul acidulat, mai bine du-te si cumpara o cola si o saorma cu de toate.

Why do products such as Earphones cost so much ?

Ever wondered what and where the difference lies when you buy similar gear specifications but the price is completely different ??

Well let him explain to you more about how to choose when you buy any type of gear.

 

 

That will surely help you next time.

See ya soon.
