Washington: Researchers have recently revealed that volcanoes theory shown in the typical textbooks might not be exactly correct.

Well, someone had to research this.
If you have ever been to Hawaii and visited the old lava tubes, this would be pretty evident.
But it took some liberal educator to “educate” the rest of us about what is commonly evident.
I thought there was a “scientific consensus” on volcano eruptions.
It's always good to remember that there is no such thing as settled science: if it's settled, it's not science, and if it's science, it's not settled.
Bulges!
Skinny vents don’t bulge. LOL! :-)
And only “climatologists” seem to be fixated on consensus.
Egads. With Global Warming, we won't be able to cool the magma at the earth's surface and volcanic eruptions are going to be more frequent and will spew more lava all over the place! Head for the hills!
Remember, you heard it on FR first.
So, I cut science a lot of slack and I don't laugh when I find out that volcanic plumes haven't been detected, and don't actually exist -- although I've been taught about these things for almost 50 years.
What annoys me is when so-called "scientists" harangue me and call me ignorant because I believe things which they laugh at and they demand that I "prove" the things I believe.
Science is pretty much a religion. It depends a lot on faith. That doesn't mean it's wrong, and doesn't me it's bad. But it's not real different from my religion either.
well said.
“The notion of scientific “proof” is very different from mathematical “proof”.”
Agreed.
Indeed there are very few scientific laws and many many many scientific theories and hypothesi. (Is that the plural or is it hypothesises ;)
:’D
Kind of reminds me of the argument that sea levels are rising due to global warming, when what we are actually seeing is subsidence of coastal soil due to compaction.
