Breman Universum
I have always loved volcanoes and an exhibit on the natural science floor of Breman's museum provided further insight into certain mechanisms of a volcanoes. Sometimes, volcanoes produces something that resembles a smoke ring. As it turns out, these rings are not smoke, but water vapor and other gases. When pressure builds up in a volcanoes, these rings eventually get pushed up. The interactive exhibit at the museum demonstrated this by allowing users to evenly push down on the surface, propelling mist into the air to form a ring.

This reminds me of the underwater volcanoes in the ocean. They release hot gases as well as hot water, however the gas vapor rings aren't visible because it is under water
I also saw this exhibit and thought it was intriguing. I always thought the rings were small debris particles such as ash. I didn’t know water vapor rings was a possibility with volcanos
