moving as fast as a river
Won’t these lava flows make the sea rise?
And heat the surface and sea temperatures?
Global Warming at its best.
Showing to my granddaughters now.
Wow!
Those are amazing videos - I haven’t seen lava moving that fast before. Pyroclastic flows, yes, but not actual lava. Those two guys in the second video seem to be taking a big risk in that the flow could suddenly change direction or increase and they would never be able to outrun it.
The 2nd video is alarming.
I first thought it must have been time lapsed for the lava to be flowing so fast.
Then I saw the 2 guys walking back to their truck and realized it was actual speed.
Those guy are nuts being that close, as the flow could shift or overflow current banks in an instant.
If you look closely at one of those videos you can see a dude that looks like Obama forging a ring.

That’s the best poster comment of the day!
What do you call it when Mother Earth gets the runs?
Gaia-rrhea.
Where’s the imodium?

This isn’t Mother Earth, it’s Madame Pele and is she p***ed!
Where are the virgins? We need virgins! Stat!
Whoa. Pahoehoe or a’a? If it’s the former, that’s quite a clip. If the latter, not much slope.
Where does all the magma come from? Taking boiling hot liquid magma from the center of the earth and depositing it on the surface has to leave a void somewhere.
Liquefied rocks flowing at 30+ mph! 3 times as dense and heavy than water and 2000 degrees. Energy calculations are beyond my capabilities. The volume alone is staggering to conceive.
I’m going to say it doesn’t leave a void. Personally I believe the earth is contracting as it cools internally creating internal pressure that for no better words squeezes out the liquids. In this case that would be lava.
It amazes me how long this has been going on. And after billions of years the earth is still hot and pshifting, and the sun is still hot.
And yet the idiot left thinks a little extra plant food in the atmosphere dooms us.

Ooze and awes!
George Noory is on this, I’d guess. I kind of like to listen to that guy at 2:00 a.m...….
