Les déferlantes basales. Ce mécanisme (...) a d'abord été observé au cours des explosions atomiques (...) puis retrouvé au cours des éruptions de Surtsey (Islande) (...) et d'autres. Ce n'est pas un type d'éruption indépendant, mais un phénomène secondaire qui accompagne les explosions. Une partie du gaz, au lieu de s'élever verticalement, se détend horizontalement, entraînant avec elle de l'eau ou des produits solides : c'est le fameux anneau qui s'élargit à la base des "champignons atomiques". 1, record 2, French, - d%C3%A9ferlante%20basale
