The kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific attracted worldwide attention because of this volcanic eruption. Many friends also asked about Ghost Island. In fact, this ghost island was formed because of volcanic eruption. According to the available data, Little Lat Island was first discovered in 1875. At that time, the island was 9 meters above sea level, but it was 1875. There is no way to find out this problem. Even more bizarre, at 1898, the island was submerged by seawater and sank to a position of 7 meters. 1967, the island emerged from the sea again, with an altitude of about 9 meters. But in 1968, the island disappeared again, and then surfaced several times. The current state is seven meters below sea level. According to the current situation, now, Tonga's submarine volcano erupts again, causing the sea water to rise. Many countries have issued tsunami warnings, so
A question that puzzles many people is, why did Little Lat Island surface several times and then sink to the bottom of the sea? Is this island floating on the sea? Of course not. In fact, the reason for the island's ups and downs is very simple. It is influenced by the global climate and ocean currents, which causes the water level in the ocean to rise and fall, so it will appear. Little Rattle Island sometimes appears and sometimes is submerged. It is because Little Lat Island often appears, then disappears and reappears that it has the nickname of Ghost Island. Nature's uncanny workmanship is so strange that people have to sigh!
The specific location of Little Lat Island is between Santorin Islands in Aegean Sea and Aleutian Islands in Iceland, close to Tonga Trench. I tried searching on the map for a long time, but I couldn't find the location of the island. It is estimated that it may only be marked on the map of Tonga.
Brief introduction of Little Lat Island
I. Place
The specific location of Little Lat Island can't be found on the map, but can only be found from some relevant network materials, probably between Tonga Trench and Aleutian Islands.
Second, the formation and history of the island
The formation of this island is mainly due to the eruption of submarine volcano. It was first discovered in 1875. After several ups and downs, he got the nickname of Ghost Island. The current situation is that it is submerged by seawater and sinks 7 meters to the bottom of the sea.
Third, the impact of this volcanic eruption on the island.
On June 5438+1October 65438+May, 2022, Tonga submarine volcano erupted again, causing the sea water to rise. Many countries have issued tsunami warnings. This volcanic eruption may cause the sea to rise, thus making Little Lat Island hopeless, which is likely to make the island sleep in the sea for decades to come.
In the western waters of Tonga Kingdom in the South Pacific, due to the eruption of submarine volcano, a small island, called Little Lat Island, nicknamed Ghost Island, suddenly appeared. At present, it is submerged by seawater and sleeps 7 meters in the sea.
