Been watching the lava fountain off and on this morning, gets a little higher as time goes by, reminds me of a pressure relief on a boiler, and the building size boulders floating down with the lava is cool

Quoted: Makes me wonder how much material is being hollowed out down deep and if the deep magma is moving up View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I'd love to see the CO2/H2O ratio of that gas column over time. Makes me wonder how much material is being hollowed out down deep and if the deep magma is moving up Nature article on the Canary Islands magmatic system The deepest (most voluminous) is the one we want to watch. Oceanic crust tends to be higher in water and CO2 content than continental basement rock, which may itself be higher in gas content than deep-formation melt. What the gases are doing tells a lot about deeper magma activity. Something known as gas sparging is postulated to be the melt mechanism when a plume head impinges on crustal rock. This is what makes Yellowstone and other hot spot powered calderas so explosive at times...the plume material will typically flow gently like flood basalts upon reaching the surface - but melt a lot of the chamber roofs, sides, etc. and mix that into the upwelling magma, you'll get an earth-shattering kaboom. |

Now back to two large lava fountains. this thing changes every damn time I click on it and it is always getting stronger and stronger. Should be an incredible show soon when it gets dark there.

ARFCom group buy?
We did my ladyfriend's flower beds and yard accents with small lava rocks last year...about the size of the stuff that's raining down on the towns below the vents. If anyone has access to earth moving equipment and a few dozen self loading/unloading cargo ships. I see money to be made. You know someone's going to. |

Quoted: Best visual representation of the seismic activity I've seen so far
View Quote makes you wonder if what we have seen thus far is just a small warmup. That's considerably more activity than what showed up prior to this current eruption happening. If a bigger eruption happens further up the ridge, people are going to lose their shit. |

View Quote The one with the predominantly solid horizontal multi color lines is a 24H seismogram plot. Look up "harmonic tremor" and that's what you're seeing. Nice, healthy flow of magma into the system. You'd get the same effect if you put a hydrophone on the outside of a pipe with gas or liquid flowing though it. |

Really cool 3D viewer of the earthquake locations under the island.
use one or two fingers to pan and tilt like on google earth 3D. https://lapalma.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer3d/index.html?id=d9e690459e9e49ad94c845ac1b37e19c |

See the 3.7 below the bottom cluster? That's indicative of a fresh upwelling of magma into the top chambers. Also means "business as usual" for the volcano for a while. |
