eBook 정보

All the scientific people say that Yellowstone will erupt again, but no one knows when. Everything is still a guessing game. They say that it could be a super volcano. This is a volcano capable of producing a volcanic eruption with an ejected volume greater than 1,000 km (240 cu mi). This is thousands of times larger than normal volcanic eruptions. Super volcanoes can occur when magma in the mantle rises into the crust from a hotspot but is unable to break through the crust, and pressure builds in a large and growing magma pool until the crust is unable to contain the pressure. Such is the case for the Yellowstone Caldera. They can monitor and watch, but it is still a guessing game. I based my book on one type of eruption that may take place, which is a Plinian eruption. These eruptions are marked by their similarity to the eruption of Mount Vesuvious in AD 79. Plinian eruptions are marked by columns of gas and volcanic ash extending high into the stratosphere, a high layer of the atmosphere. The key characteristics are ejection of large amounts of pumice and very powerful continuous gas blast eruptions.

저자 정보

I was born in the southwest corner of Wyoming where I spent the earliest part of my life on a small farm/ranch. As I grew up, so also did the small town in which I lived. There were many hardships as I grew up as most small-town kids experience because of the lack of work for the adults. When I turned eighteen, I enlisted in the Marine Corps and served my country for four years. I spent eighteen months of my enlistment in the Far East, with the last six months of it in Japan. After my time with Uncle Sam, I managed to get a job as a food service manager in the neighboring city of Rock Springs, Wyoming. From there, I went back to school and became an industrial mechanic at one of the Local Trona mines. During my last years of employment, there seemed to be a lot of controversy about Yellowstone and the Volcano which exists there. It seemed to be a constant topic on television, and I became interested in it. When television aired a special on its eruption, I decided I wanted to write a story that I had been toying with in my mind. After I retired, I just sit down one day and began to write. Worlds End Worlds Start is the product of this endeavor. I understand it is not as professionally written as writers such as Koontz or King, but I hope those that read it will enjoy it.
