Eruption in Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano: Lava rose up to 260 feet, its gas poses a threat to humans and animals

The world’s most active volcano Kilauea, located in Hawaii Island, USA, erupted at around 2 am on Monday night. After the explosion, the lava rose up to 260 feet (80 meters) and spread on the ground. The US Volcano Department released a video of the explosion and informed about it on social media. According to the US Geological Survey, this incident was captured on #HVO’s B2cam camera. This volcano has been active since 1983 and it keeps erupting from time to time. The gas released from the volcanic eruption can harm people, so an alert has been issued. According to the US agency, the ashes released after the volcanic eruption are flying up to 6000-8000 feet above sea level. The winds are taking it towards the southwest. The sulfur dioxide coming out of the crack can mix with other gases present in the atmosphere and affect humans and animals as well as crops. At the same time, the thickness of the lava is about 3 feet. Mauna Loa is the world’s largest volcano. There are 6 such volcanoes in Hawaii Island which are always active. Maunalao is also included in these. Lao is the world’s largest volcano, while Kilauea is much more active. Scientists have been researching for years about how this volcano was formed. Information is being collected about the lava flowing in it. Lava flowed for 22 days in 1984 According to the Geological Survey, Maunalao has erupted about 33 times since 1843. This lava also erupted in 1984. Then lava flowed in an area of ??7 kilometers for 22 consecutive days. At the same time, in the year 2018, Kilauea Volcano erupted near Maunalao. About 700 houses were destroyed in this. After this, there was a blast here in November 2022 as well. Which did not cause any damage, because its slopes are very straight, due to which the chances of lava going down from it increases. What is a volcano? Volcanoes are natural cracks present on the surface of the earth. Through these, molten material such as magma, lava, ash, etc., come out from the interior of the earth with an explosion. Volcanoes are formed due to the collision between the 7 tectonic plates and 28 sub-tectonic plates present on the earth. ———————- Also read this news related to volcanic eruption….
