WHY
====================

WHY VOLCANOES ERUPT 
Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. When a part of the earth’s upper mantle or lower crust melts, magma forms . A volcano is essentially an opening or a vent through which this magma and the dissolved gases it contains are discharged.

Main reasons for volcano Eruption : The buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber.

The Eruption temperature of lava is aprox about 1,170 degrees Celsius (2,140 degrees Fahrenheit). In general, temperatures range from about 4,400° Celsius (7,952° Fahrenheit) to about 6,000° Celsius (10,800° Fahrenheit). The core is made of two layers: the outer core, which borders the mantle, and the inner core. The boundary separating these regions is called the Bullen discontinuity.

Bells In Temples

Bells are generally hung at the temple dome in front of the Garbhagriha. … It is said that by ringing the bell, the devotee informs the deity of his/her arrival. The sound of the bell is considered auspicious, which welcomes divinity and dispels evil.

The moment you ring that bell, it produces sharp but lasting sound vibration which lasts for minimum of seven seconds in echo mode — long enough to touch your seven healing centers (or chakras) in your body.

The moment bell sound happens your brain is emptied of all thoughts. Invariably, you will enter a state of trans where you are very receptive. This trans state is the one with inner awareness. Normally, you are so occupied in mind that the only way to awaken you is with a shock!

The bell works as anti-dote to the chaos of your mind. Before you enter temple it prepares you for the calming taste of of spiritual awareness you are going to experience.
