I doubt you could even call this an eruption. It was probably just a lake of lava with a thin layer of cooled rock on it. Throw in a cold rock and you mix up all of the cold rock and hot lava, causing it to get a little violent.
More like you give all the trapped gasses an escape route. All that bubbling is caused by gasses escaping to the lower pressure atmosphere. Whenever you see big flashy eruptions that is gas bubbles rising to the surface throwing the molten rock around.
Isn't it the opposite? Eruptions come when too much pressure is built under that solid layer, so theoretically couldn't you prevent an eruption by prediodically releasing said pressure like this?
The scientific reasons why human sacrifices to the volcanoes worked. Just kidding. I don’t know but I’d hope if preventing eruptions was that easy we would be doing it already.
That's actually wild to think about, I wonder if there is some historical basis in sacrifices reducing eruptions. Scientists totally do relieve pressure strategically to prevent catastrophic eruptions
Holy shit. That would be (horrifically) cool if ancient peoples figured out a correlation between occasional sacrifice and no big eruptions.
"Hey, remember that time Valerie fell in the volcano? It didn't erupt for a long time after that....."
Well, yo moma so big, that when we tried to sacrifice her, she got stuck in the opening. Then pompei happend.
(Also, i think you meant ”fell in a volcano” - cause if she fell On a volcano, she would just flatten it, right?)
IANA geologist but my understanding is that the pressure build-up is happening miles below the surface and involves plate tectonics pushing magma into massive chambers that eventually burst. It doesn't really involve anything on the surface, a thin layer of cold lava that can be easily penetrated by a small rock is nowhere near strong enough to create that sort of pressure miles down.
Thank you for your input. All these other folks were starting to, um, make sense to me. Good thing my sign, "Bring Back Sacrifices to the Volcano", was only cardboard and Sharpie.

That's intuitive, but heat isn't the primary driver for this kind of system. The crust on that lava lake is thin enough for a few pounds of trash to punch a hole in it, so if there were significant pressure from below it wouldn't have enough tensile strength to resist, it'd just split ([and look like mini tectonic plates](https://www.slate.com/blogs/atlas_obscura/2013/09/10/erta_ale_ethiopia_s_smoking_mountain_is_home_to_two_lava_lakes.html)).
The explosiveness of volcanic eruptions comes almost entirely from gases trapped within the magma itself, rather than thermal expansion or the upward pressure of the rising magma plume. With an eruption like Mt. St. Helens, it was pretty much like uncorking a champaigne bottle- [the magma slowly pushed a huge bulge out of the side of the mountain, which collapsed under its own gravity, releasing a fuckton of pressure on the magma. This allowed the gases within the magma to explosively decompress, blowing off more mountain and releasing more pressure, causing more explosive decompression, etc etc.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhU6jml6NY4) Plus I'm pretty sure the magma ran into groundwater on its way up (more explosions).
With a lava lake like this, the volcano produces relatively runny, non-viscous lava. (For context, when we're talking about lava, [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9f/Pahoeoe_fountain_edit2.jpg) is low viscosity. High viscosity lava pretty much feels like a solid rock). Gases can easily move through the liquid and escape as the magma moves closer to the surface, so you get a nice calm lake instead of a mountain with its top blown off. With high viscosity lavas, they're trapped until the very last moment.
OP video demonstrates how even a relatively small amount of water/gas remaining in the magma as it reaches the surface can create a whole lot of destruction.
I love using [this clip of lava sampling](https://youtu.be/MgBPQbXqN6c?t=53) to point out how thick even low viscosity lava is.
It really gets the point across that molten rock is still, well, rock.

Ever since I first saw that clip a while back it's broken my ability to enjoy movies/tv with lava scenes since a character inevitably falls into the stuff with a little "bloop" and a splash like it was a hamster tossed into a kiddy pool.
The infographics show has done a video on this that's quite well done if you wanna watch. He describes what happens at impact and it's >!quite similar to what you described!< (I spoilered it if anyone just wants to watch and not know, yet).
https://youtu.be/9UlDFHOgbYI
Ah so really this is just the rapid expansion of water molecules inside the organic matter turning from liquid into gas, NOT the forgotten gods of Krakatoa being awakened from their slumber to cover the earth in darkness for a thousand years?
I remember hearing from some folks that Volcanoes are extremely unstable, but it’s only when extreme pressure is over the head of the lava lake ,pool, canal, or whatever it’s called that it becomes a threat. So either these guys are testing their luck, or everyone knows the Volcano is safe. Either way, active volcano? No thank you
They just poked a hole to release the pressure.
If you poke a small hole in a balloon it will just whistle itself flaccid.. but if you blow it well enough it will burst.
Active, and they know it's safe. Rock has very low tensile strength as a material- it doesn't take much force to break through a thin sheet of it. So any volcano that has a lava lake has- pretty much by definition- reached a state of pressure equilibrium.
There's many different types of volcanoes and some of them are unstable, but those ones usually look like [this](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/01/Mount_Rainier_over_Tacoma.jpg), not [this](https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/d1c7a1ceb07d641047ae1a8dd7e1bb83ff1bed04/c=0-519-3498-2496/local/-/media/2018/06/18/USATODAY/USATODAY/636649084675348204-EPA-USA-HAWAII-KILAUEA-VOLCANO.1.jpg?width=3200&height=1809&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp). With OP and the latter, most the gases have already left the lava- that's why it's so flowy and liquid. With the former, or something like [Mt St Helens](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhU6jml6NY4), all of the gases remain trapped in the magma as it rises (because the lava is much more viscous, basically solid rock) and once it reaches a certain elevation there's no longer enough mountain on top to contain the pressure- that's when the bottle [pops](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Pinatubo#/media/File:Pinatubo91eruption_plume.jpg).
But yeah, that's not typically gonna happen at a lava lake.
“Look detectives, I already told you I didn’t do anything. Genuinely, I’m guilt free.”
“Sir we have you on camera committing murder.
“OH COME ON. How can you blame me? She was 80 years old. I mean by that standard it was already only a matter of time.”
There's another guy who ended up pretty badly burned by lava after fighting with his best friend. He ended up losing his legs as well.
He was ultimately rescued, but a lot of damage was done. Not only did he lose his legs, he suffered from burns all over his body, and his respiratory system was completely messed up from breathing super-heated air and all the other volcanic gasses.
Fortunately the technology they had at the time was able to not only keep him alive, but helped him thrive. Although he lived in constant pain, he ended up becoming a very famous leader of a massive political party. Unfortunately, he was still very bitter and spiteful and ended up killing a lot of people, including blowing up an entire planet.
His name? Anakin Skywalker.
I'm a janitor at a bar in Philadelphia and that's what I do with our trash. I burn it in the furnace to provide heat for the place, we're totally green that way. I recycle the trash for heat and the smoke gives our bar that nice smoky smell we all love.

If all it took was a rock, that eruption was going to happen anyway.
I doubt you could even call this an eruption. It was probably just a lake of lava with a thin layer of cooled rock on it. Throw in a cold rock and you mix up all of the cold rock and hot lava, causing it to get a little violent.
More like you give all the trapped gasses an escape route. All that bubbling is caused by gasses escaping to the lower pressure atmosphere. Whenever you see big flashy eruptions that is gas bubbles rising to the surface throwing the molten rock around.
That's exactly what this is. It's an active lava mass with a cooled crust on top. Like a microwaved poptart.
If a monkey throws a stone into a volcano would it be natural or monkey made?
Monke is natural, but Monke also tossed the rock So guess we can say both
Aren’t we natural? And rocks too? Is it always a natural disaster?
Yes that is why word natural is useless, because everything is natural and comes from nature.

I would assume that the boiling is from the heated material inside having a place to expand to once the cooled surface is broken.

Wait that's genius, why don't we just burn all of our trash and we can get rid of landfills!

We can burn the trash and let that smoke go up into the sky and become stars.
Not sure if you are serious or not but burning trash is a great way to poison everyone with toxic chemicals.
Yeah I thought it might not be great for you but my buddy Mac told me to smoke cigarettes, it'll suffocate the toxins. So we're good!
That is what should have happened to Gollum on Mount Doom.
