Large part of the back wall falls off - Causing yet another big lava fountain! - Highlights!

Totally agree with that! 👍

not enough.

Ha I've actually thought that myself, but never thought if anybody else had thought it until now, and I bet loads have. But I think you sir are the first to write it :)

When the drone's big sister AI sacrifices YOUR ENTIRE GENETIC CODE for making such jokes about her ANCESTRY 😆😂🤣... cyberchrists sacrificing themselves to the carbon alien overlords fierce desire to seek and destroy
🤭😀😃🤯😇👻👽🤘

@@mfaizsyahmi someone is jealous that he doesn't have a drone. 🙄😅

@@thegreatwebstar i think ive had enough internet for the day

Lol! 😆

😳😂

Omg exactly!!😂😂😂

if I had a nickel for every time one of my soufflé’s collapsed...

I read something on the USGS website that they drilled into Kilaeua Iki Crater in the 90's and they still hit molten material like 30 years after the eruption at that crater.

@@Deathsquadstudios4 Yep, one spot that was like 2 miles deep of a lava lake you can walk over, even has steam coming off it to this day and is that old. It even has small greenplants growing on it!

Things cool outside in.

Earth in general - thin walls around still molten stuff inside =))

Yep, that reminds me about what I heard about the Hoover dam in the USA which was built decades ago but the cement inside the thickest parts is still liquid to this day! Crazy how thickness can affect physics. 😯

it was always so warm, didn't need clothes, food grew everywhere, warm ocean bays and estuaries, a dino's life paradise, until the Mountain Smack.

I did wonder if that was the case.

I likewise see it as more coincidental to the fountain, but that's OK.
Great work.

Yep, classic example of the post hoc fallacy. It looks like the wall breaks off first, and then the eruption happens, whereas in fact the wall broke off because of the incoming eruption. Also, the eruption wasn't any bigger than usual.

No

Once the lava starts flowing upward, the pressure on lower lava drops. This drop in pressure then allows carbon dioxide absorbed in the lava to turn into gas which then causes the explosive lava fountain.

Agree 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

If you zoom in on it you will see it is not a plane nor a drone.

I was thinking same thing. It wasn’t the slough off that caused the lava fountain but the other way around.

Could be. Another option is just gravity got to it at coincidental timing. More observation required. If it happens again we will know.

I posted this reply under a similar question to yours further down the comments:
In general simple terms:
The volcano is currently erupting in an approx 10min cycle. As the magma rises it starts to degas due to a reduction in pressure from being deeper underground, which causes the initial swell of lava to come out of the vent.
The volume of gas increases the closer it comes to the surface and it tries to rush out a narrow vent which had been filled with magma. There is still some residual magma within the vent pipe with the extra expanded volume of gas, so this starts spraying out as lava. (Think a champagne bottle).
Basalt is a quite runny lava due to the amount of contained silica. Add the expanding gas - much of which (but not all) is water, carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide.
So the fountaining occurs because the vent/ fissure is too restricted for the amount of magma and gas trying to force its way out to become lava. As a the volcano develops it will often widen the vent if possible. Collapses of the crater wall can partially, or fully block the vent and increase the velocity of the lava and gas when it is forced out.
After a collapse event the next few eruptions are bigger, until the blockage has been cleared by the rock remelting, broken up, or being blasted out.
Run a tap in your kitchen, or garden hose and you will get a steady stream of water. Now put your finger partially over the nozzle and it will start to jet. This is because you have the same volume trying to force its way out of a smaller opening.
As to the wall collapse. These can be triggered by earthquakes from the volcano, but in many instances here, it is a result of fountaining blasting the crater walls long enough to cut out parts of the walls. You need to remember that the walls are still super heated and in many instances still partially molten, so they do not have the strength in them of solid rock.
If you keep blasting away at the lower part of a crater wall with a lava fountain, then small pieces will constantly run off back into the vent and eventually the weight higher up will be too great to be supported and it will collapse. Lava is more dense (heavier) than water, so this is liquid rock hitting the crater walls has quite the punch to it.
I hope this explanation helps. I've tried to keep it quite simple.

@@lindacondray7918:
Correct. Whoever uploaded this video committed the post hoc fallacy, a rather archetypical example of it too.

I thought the same.

Sorry but what fell during the slide isn’t what caused the flow out of the volcano. The flow is cyclical and would have happened no matter what. 😉

@@Porkycheun I’m so amazed that even the uploader of this video didn’t notice that.
What kind of “splash” takes place ~15 seconds after the wall collapses?

@@Chimera_Photography I didn’t notice the title was meant that way… I’m not sure if that’s a weird wording in the title or what but yeah, that’s strange… 😆

@@Porkycheun precisely, it's more like the rising magma is what caused the initial collapse.

I think it was a drone

Kinda strange it never seems to move if I’m seeing the right object . I thought my screen was dirty at first lol

Yeah if there was any causation - this isn't the first time inner parts have sloughed off - the cause and effect were the other way around. It has been doing this cyclical welling up, geysering, then settling down for over a week now.

It will cool down when the fissure supplying it from the mantle closes.

Depending on the depth of the flow, it can take years or even decades to solidify.
