For a limnic eruption to occur, the lake must be nearly saturated with gas.

The two disasters are the only recorded instances of limnic eruptions.

Due to the nature of the event, it is hard to determine if limnic eruptions have happened elsewhere.

Three settlement layers can be distinguished, separated by limnic sediments.

When the stratification is disturbed, as could happen from an earthquake, a limnic eruption may result.

To date, only two limnic eruptions have been observed and recorded:

Rather, emission of carbon dioxide in a limnic eruption is thought to be to blame.

Natural hazards: Recent limnic eruptions with release of carbon dioxide:

This is called a limnic eruption.

This phenomenon is also known as "limnic eruption," lake "upheaval," or "overturning."

This has led to a build up of methane and carbon dioxide at the bottom of the lake, which can lead to violent limnic eruptions.

See limnic eruption.

So only in deep, stable, tropical, volcanic lakes such as Lake Nyos are limnic eruptions possible.

Fluviatile, limnic and periglacial sediments interchange.

It is unclear whether enough of the gas will be removed to eliminate the danger of a limnic eruption at Lake Kivu.

Most acochlidians live interstitially in marine sands, while some have conquered limnic systems (uniquely within opisthobranch gastropods).

A limnic eruption occurs when a gas, usually CO, suddenly erupts from deep lake water, posing the threat of suffocating wildlife, livestock and humans.

The Messel pit fossil deposits of Messel, Germany, show evidence of a limnic eruption there in the early Eocene.

The Greek island of Santorini, he says, erupted at the same time, which had strange, seemingly supernatural effects on the Nile delta, where a related limnic eruption took place.

Marine, limnic and finally terrestrial clays, marls, limestones and sands with interbedded basalt layers dominate within the Oligocene and Miocene.

"The anatomy of Chilina fluctuosa Gray reexamined, with prolegomena on the phylogeny of the higher limnic Basommatophora (Gastropoda: Pulmonata)".

The enigmatic amphibious and insectivorous Aitengidae clusters within Acochlidiacea, as sister to meiofaunal and brackish Pseudunelidae and limnic Acochlidiidae.

There used to be little limnic coal basins all over the Massif Central and a really large deposit at Saint-Etienne, but they were all worked out late in the twentieth century.

In the documentary, the plagues that ravaged Egypt in the Bible are explained as having resulted from that eruption and a related limnic eruption in the Nile Delta.
