Moved[edit]

On the 6th of February 2005 I started an article titled "Cryovolcanism". Today I moved it here to "Cryovolcano", the place where it should be. "Cryovolcanism" now redirects here. Some people took the time to translate the article to other languages. Perhaps they must make the same changes and then update the international links at the bottom of this page. For the moment I've left the links intact. I have deleted everything from the old, smaller, "Cryovolcano" article because I believe everything is covered in the current text. I also deleted the statement that the term was coined in 2004 because I believe it's much older. Finally, I gave the article some structure by adding headings, and added recent findings on Enceladus, and rephrased things a bit. Alex.g 16:24, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

flumes?[edit]

"...these substances are usually liquids and form flumes" Should this be "plumes" instead of "flumes"? I'd never heard of flumes before, and the link leads to a page on some kind of waterworks. antabus 19:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, I've scoured the internet looking for such a thing in relation to volcanoes and couldn't find anything, so I changed it Imasleepviking 23:34, 27 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Could't fumes have been meant instead, as in toxic gas emissions? --Florian Blaschke (talk) 21:58, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"a methane-spewing cryovolcano on Titan"[edit]

I just watched a 2005 Nova documentary on Titan, and in an interview with Robert Brown, from the University of Arizona, he's quoted as saying: "The working fluid for a volcano on Titan is water, but it's water mixed with ammonia. And the result of that is it lowers the freezing temperature of water from zero degrees centigrade, down to as low as minus-100 degrees centigrade." http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/transcripts/3309_titan.html I'm not sure if methane was recently discovered in the composition of the secretion, which is why I wanted to bring this up before editing. Also in the documentary, John Zarnecki stated that "whereas on Earth we're talking about rocks and liquid water, on Titan it's ice and liquid methane." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gonzomalan (talk • contribs) 06:01, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pingo[edit]

Is a cryovolcano on Earth the same thing as a pingo? Randall Bart Talk 21:09, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly not. Obviously, pingos are not volcanoes. --Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:07, 14 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take this one on. A bit out of my wheelhouse, but it looks like a fun read. I should get to it over the weekend! Fritzmann (message me) 14:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
