Inflating Lava Field Pushes Older Lava Over Wall, Magma Continues Accumulating: Geologist Analysis 

😂

🤣🤣🤣

A horror movie waiting to be made! :D

😂

The Creature from the Black Lava Lake

Wonderful!

Ha ha - here in NZ it’s Sunday, every intro Shawn does I have screw my face while I figure out when it was my time that he uploaded…

I believe that's what's happening and could far exceed 30 years

It's not bad to take this into consideration also, but may the topographical picture has been changed tremendously since those 800 years , so the chance that the same indications for ongoing volcanoes eruptions would repeat are reduced to very little probability. Yet, the movement below is accelerating , may be just a phase of an birthgiving process and the lava output will arrive at the propriate for that places, creating more new land, meaning pushing magma to the ocean.Its not a safe situation too, but somewhat better than erasing the current infrastructure onland.

@@petyae the mid Atlantic rift has constant volcanic activity on it and the patterns do not change all that much. The USN has document the on going volcanic eruptions along the rift through their network of sensors and hydrophones, that was installed to track Submarine activity in the Atlantic ocean. While the 800 years to us is a long time, in the life of a volcano, it is just a few seconds, and how the behave and the patterns of their eruptions for us it is hard to gauge, unless it is a volcano that erupts constantly or on regular intervals of a very short time, such as the volcanos in the Europe or Indonesia. Mount Etna we know its pattern and it can be predicted how it will be have. Reykjavik peninsula volcanic eruption are centuries apart and humans have occupied the Reykjavik peninsula since 870 CE and there for have not witnessed the eruption history to be able to predict how an eruption will proceed over time . WE know of the history of the Reykjanes Fires, from the Íslendinga saga, in which it talks about the ongoing eruptions of the time. Volcanology is a rather young science dating back to the 18th century, and advances in the science have only moved forward in the 20th century. Plato made observations of volcanic eruptions in his day and documented them, but it was not until James Hutton established Geology as a science did the study of volcanos start. in the 1700's.

It’s actually Tuesday. Sorry for the error.

@shawnwillsey Tuesday is even better! Thursday is too far away anyway. 😀

That was cool

I second that request. I have a pretty big interest in Vesuvius and the Fields. Since my mom told me about the eruption of 79, I was less than 10.

This is somewhat thicker slower flowing lava. But if the eruption continues then it could flow over, unless they raise the berm again.

@@bluemist4326 But it will still lubricate the older flows and get them moving.

St. Helen's is not a spatter cone. It's a stratovolcano, composite cone, and so forth. Spatter cones usually form at vents in basaltic flows.

If you get the situation where magma leaves a previously filled cavity fairly abruptly you get a caldera formation. For an effusive eruption the further expansion due to the collapse of the walls of Kilauea's Summit caldera then lava lake in 2018 is probably the best example we have on record of this process in action.

The cone was measured to be 25 - 30 meters high by a local drone operator.

@@AlyCatAly thanks! Much bigger than I thought.

oops any new area have new heat near

I have asked the same questions regarding the water temps at blue lagoon. The lagoon is supplied by the run off from the power plant and they are checked continuously by the plant operators. So unless the storage area is licking the surface of that area, it is not going to change the water temps from what I was told since it is a controlled flow from the plant.
