Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano, exploded at around 2 am on Monday.

Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano located in the Hawaiian Islands of America, exploded at around 2 am on Monday. After the explosion, lava rose up to 260 feet (80 meters) and spread on the ground. The Volcanology Department of America released the video of the explosion and gave information about it on social media.

According to the US Geological Survey, this incident was captured in #HVO’s B2cam camera. This volcano has been active since 1983 and eruptions occur from time to time. The gas released from the volcanic eruption can harm people, hence an alert has been issued.

According to the American agency, the ashes released after the volcanic eruption are flying at a height of 6000-8000 feet above sea level. The winds are taking it towards the south-west. Sulfur dioxide released from the crack can combine 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.

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 kept flowing in an area of ​​7 kilometers for 22 consecutive days. At the same time, in the year 2018, Kilauea Volcano had erupted near Maunalao. About 700 houses were destroyed in this. After this, there was a blast here in November 2022 also. Which did not cause any damage, because its slopes are very steep due to which the possibility of lava going down becomes more.

What is a volcano?

Volcanoes are natural cracks present on the earth’s surface. Through these, molten substances like magma, lava, ash etc. come out from the interior of the earth with explosions. Volcanoes are formed due to the collision of 7 tectonic plates and 28 sub-tectonic plates present on the Earth.
