Anyone else notice explosions happening lower and closer to the camera? Like a new spot opened up a lower and left just slightly down from where the action was.

How deep is it from the earths surface down to where the lava is coming from, it's source so to speak?
Like if you were drilling for lava how deep would it be? Here's a random internet answer fwiw. The deepest hole ever drilled is a bit over 12km deep. The actual molten part of the Earth beneath the crust and the semi-molten mantle is more than 150 times that far under the surface. 1800km. That’s how deep. |

Afar TV on YouTube finally changes camera.
It was kicking lave pretty good around 3pm CT and I walked away to get some water and when I came back everything was black. Chat said the wind shifted, but you could still hear the rumbling. They are on a different cam now and it's still going strong. |

    la palma imaging system shows 1. vertical mount of seismic due to lava pressure(35km column) 2. island volcanically inactive areas of interest for future studies 3. actual volcano plume and small thermal features of interest around the tiger showing no correlation to seismology. |

The actual molten part of the Earth beneath the crust and the semi-molten mantle is more than 150 times that far under the surface. 1800km. That’s how deep. That's not totally correct. The magmatic system that supplies Canary Islands volcanism is thought to be fed through a combination of mantle plume and subduction zone melts. Plumes typically originate around 600-1000km depth, while subduction zone melts (diapirs) are found at a quarter of that depth. These Islands are close enough to plate boundaries that a hybrid supply system is likely, with plume melts driving the eruption we're seeing now. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Someone from the Volcano professional community said this is a Strombolian Eruption. http://sci.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoes_work/Strombolian.html Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I'm not volcanologist and I hate staying at Holiday Inns but it seems to me if the volcano is venting and oozing lava the way Klauea volcano in Hawaii does then there isn't much of chance of it exploding like Mt. St. Helens, sliding into the ocean and putting the east coast under a 100ft wave. Someone from the Volcano professional community said this is a Strombolian Eruption. http://sci.sdsu.edu/how_volcanoes_work/Strombolian.html It is Strombolian. However, given the makeup of the magmatic system it's a good idea for the volcanologists to monitor the type of lavas being erupted and the type of gasses being emitted. There are known precursors for an eruption to shift to Plinian and what's being ejected now can serve as an early warning if analyzed. I did a bit of searching today and couldn't find any references to evidence of welded tuff in the Canaries, which is a good sign. They're laid down as a result of pyroclastic flows, and will fuck that island straight up if they happen. |

Structure and lava type of this setup is all wrong for lava tubes to form, and when they do it's the result of a channel crusting over and fresh melt keeping the inside of the tube hot enough to allow free flow. Tubes also tend to be circular, not flattened. |

Some reading on lava tubes:
Lava Tubes at Wiki The lava in this eruption isn't thin, hot and runny enough for tube formation to occur. It tends to thin in height and spread out while cooling a bit at the surface as it makes its way downslope. The crust acts as an insulator and allows the stream to remain just molten enough to slowly flow downhill to the ocean. |

That's half the picture. The other half comes in the form of tilt meter data...is the mountain inflating, deflating or remaining steady in terms of volume? That tells you what the magma chambers are up to. |

Some reading on magma composition and viscosity
This is probably the best explanation of the subject I've found in a couple of days of searching. Cumbre Vieja's lavas are at present more Aa in flow characteristics than anything else - but the actual chemical makeup of the erupted material can tell us much about what's going on in the magma chamber, as can analyses of the gasses which power the eruption column (via de-gassing and expansion). Think of that can of soda you shook for hours as a youngster, then popped the tab. I still remember cleaning it off the ceiling of my aunt's kitchen, atop a step ladder. The stunt was done to illustrate the principles I'd noted above...this after reading a NatGeo article on Surtsey as a precocious youth.
