I remember hearing a bang and seeing a plume of smoke.

The blast sent a plume of smoke rising above the coastal capital.

And the higher the volcanic plume rises, the more lightning it can generate.

As the plume rises, the water in the steam condenses into droplets and can freeze into ice crystals.

The plume rises from a concrete water-lily sculpture in the center of a large man-made lake.

Smoke billowed from fires in the city and occasionally rockets and shells threw up plumes of water along the beachfront.

The burns flowing over the clifftop are blown upwards by the wind, so instead of waterfalls you get fountains - plumes of water against the sky.

Breaking waves spray plumes of water through erosion holes; the spray can reach heights of 50 ft.

At least until a steam plume, hundreds of metres high and filled with belching, glass-infested hydrochloric acid, erupts from a subterranean tube into the whitecaps nearby.

Three craters containing fumaroles produce a steam plume that can be visible on calm, clear days.

He speaks in considered tones about what you can deduce from the colour of volcanic steam plumes or the composition of newly formed volcanic rock.

The updrafts of fine volcanic ash are lifted high into the sky by the enormous steam plumes created by the vast quantities of evaporating ice.

And the higher the volcanic plume rises, the more lightning it can generate.

The grey cloud of smoke, like a volcanic plume, swelled up from behind a series of mountain ridges that pleat the landscape.

In the case of volcanic lightning, the lightning discharge almost exclusively occurs directly within the volcanic plume.
