The magma fills up in a reservoir two kilometers below the surface until a certain point at which it either explodes out the top‚ or it moves laterally forming dikes. These dikes‚ filled with solidified lava‚ shift leading to mountain deformation. There was almost a half-meter of displacement from the 1983 dike injection. The greatest earthquake recorded in Hawaiian history occurred on November 29‚ 1975. The displacement‚ which was between three and

A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards

molten rock’s surface tension. What the scientist found was how some volcanoes function on the inside. In past years‚ volcanologists believed that flowing lava sinks back down and settles after an eruption‚ pressing on the magma below and crushing all of the bubbles‚ which makes pressure build up under the compacted lava. This leaves the lava sitting there...Until it explodes. Pow! This hints at why some volcanoes will go through cycles of flowing and explosive eruptions. Volcanoes also make sound
