Airport‘S Nilelue The volcano has been shooting lava from its summit from the end of last year once a week, with residents, visitors and online audiences with an equally melted rock firehose.
On Wednesday, there was a 34th episode of the volcano from December. Scientist Believe that they are all part of the same explosion because the magma is following the same passage of the surface.
Officials said the lava fountains reached 330 feet (100 meters) in the early hours of Wednesday. The winds from the Northeast are flowing moderately, suggesting that volcanic gas emissions and volcanic materials can be distributed in the southwest, according to National park service And American Geological Survey.
The lava is absorbed within the summit inside the Hawaii Jwalamukhi National Park and does not threaten houses or buildings. This is not expected to affect local commercial airports.
Park visitor can see explosion in individuals. Others may see the popular livestream, offering the choice of three separate cameras angles possible by the US Geological Survey.
Kilauya is on the Hawaiian Islands, the largest of the Hawaiian Islands. It is about 200 miles (320 km) to the south of the state’s largest city, HonoluluWhich is on ohu.
Here is that one of the most active volcanoes in the world, what do you know about the latest explosion in Kilaau:
Melted rock fountains
At the air volcanic observatory, the scientist-Prakari Kane Honorable said that a lower magma chamber under the Helemumu Creater is getting magma from the Earth’s interior in about 5 cubic yards (3.8 cubic meters) per second. It blows the chamber like a balloon and takes the magma to an upper chamber. From there it is pushed over the ground through the crack.
In several burst episodes since December, the lava has been depicted high in the air. In some cases Lava formed the towers that topped 1,000 feet (300 meters). The fountains are produced in the part because magma – which raises gases that rise – is traveling on the surface via narrow, pipelike vent.
The expansion magma supply is overshadowed by heavy magma that expelled its gas at the end of the previous episode. Eventually enough new magma, forces the magma to close, and the magma shoots out like a champagne bottle that was shaken before the cork’s pop.
It is the fourth time in 200 years that Kilaua has repeatedly shot the lava fountain in the air in the episode. The last time Kilaua followed this pattern: The explosion began in 1983 began with 44 sessions of the fountain shooting. He was spread in three years. And the fountains emerged in a remote field, so some people were seen.
The other two took place in 1959 and 1969.
Calculate the future of Kilaua
Scientists do not know how the current explosion will end or how it can change. In 1983, Magma made enough pressure that Kilaua opened a vent at a low height and started leaking from there instead of shooting out of high altitude from time to time. The explosion continued in various forms for three decades and ended in 2018.
Something similar can happen. Or the current explosion can stop at the peak instead if its magma supply excludes the peters.
Scientists can guess when using lava sensors, there is a possibility of premature days emerging that indicates when Magma is inflating or disregarding.
“Our job is like a group of ants creeping on an elephant, trying to find out how the elephant works,” said Honorable.
Lava fountains have been small recently. Air University Steve Lundblad, at a professor of Hilo Geology, said the vent could be widespread, which puts the melted rock less pressure.
“We are still going to be a great explosion,” he said. “They are just going to be wider and not so high.”
Pellet
Some people may see lava flow as disastrous. But the Executive Director of Edith Kancol Foundation, Huhui Kanahele-Mosman said that lava is a natural resource that is rigid in the land and builds the foundation for everything on the Hawaiian island.
Kunnahel-Mosman’s non-profit is named after his grandmother-respected businessman of language and culture. The Hula Halau, or the school, is celebrated to master the style of Hula inherent in the stories of Pelé and her sister, Hiayaka.
Since the explosion began, Kannahel-Mosman has visited the pit for some time. She initially looks at amazement and reverence. But then she sees more details so that she can go home and compare with lava in centuries old stories that her school does. While in the pit, she also distributes a chanting prepared in advance and offers offerings. Recently he presented AWA, a drink made with Kava and a Fern Lei.
“You as a dancer, you are a storyteller and you take the history that was further written to the fair,” he said, using the word Hawaii for the song. “In fact, to be able to see the explosion that is described in the fair, it is always exciting for us and drives us and inspires us to live in this tradition.”
Volcano
Park tour has been increasing since the explosion started. In April, there were 49% more visitors than the same month of 2024.
Park spokesperson Jessica Phiraken said that the previous several episodes have lasted only for 10 to 12 hours. He said that people known should sign up for American Geological Survey Warning Information as the explosion could end before the explosion, he said.
He warned that visitors should remain on marked trails and unseen as the edges and cracks of unstable rock in the Earth may not be immediately clear, and the fall may cause severe injury or death. Young children should be kept close to adults.
Volcanic gas, glass and ash can also be dangerous. Night visitors should bring a flashlight.
