一部で話題の和歌山県立自然博物館製作のプレート沈み込み模型。(なぜか昆虫が専門の)学芸員の手作りですよ、手作り。プレート境界の地震が見事に再現されている!#大阪アンダーグラウンド展 に来れば、実物見れます!





Spotted yesterday at #MaunaLoa – a lava boat rides the waves! On Dec 7, a lava boat was spotted floating down channel. Lava boats can form when portions of the cone or lava channel break away & are rafted downstream. Hot lava cools to its surface to create that smooth exterior.





This video from today's morning overflight shows fissure 3, the dominant source of activity. Lava fountains are 20-25 meters in height (65-82 feet) and feed a lava flow moving to the northeast at ~130 meters per hour (0.08 miles per hour). #MaunaLoa usgs.gov/volcanoes/maun…
