• Question 3 of 10 3. Question 1 points Which of the following statements about vortex rings is true? (a) Vortex rings are two-dimensional structures. (b) Vortex rings move in a straight line without changing shape. (c) Vortex rings are formed when a fluid is ejected into another fluid with a different density. (d) Vortex rings are only observed in liquids and not in gases. Correct Ans: (c) Explanation: Context: Mount Etna, Europe’s largest and among the most active volcanoes, has been producing rare smoke rings known as volcanic vortex rings. These circular rings of gas, primarily water vapour, emerge from a newly formed pit crater on the volcano’s north side. How Volcanic Vortex Rings are formed? The phenomenon occurs when gas is rapidly released through a nearly circular vent, forming perfectly circular rings. Volcanic vortex rings were first observed at Etna in 1724 and have since been documented at various volcanoes worldwide. They can linger in the air for up to 10 minutes but may disintegrate quickly in windy conditions. Vortex rings are toroidal vortices that form when a fluid is ejected into another fluid with a different density. They are three-dimensional structures and can move through both liquids and gases. They are characterized by a rolling motion that maintains their shape as they move through the surrounding fluid.
