Right now, there are 50 volcanoes actively erupting on the planet. This week, the Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano in the nation of Tonga almost completely collapsed leading to a large tsunami. The collapse was associated with a plugged magma conduit and an unstable edifice, generating a 20 to 30 kilometer high eruption plume. In India, the Barren Island volcano produced a brief eruption which was picked up on satellite. Also, in Hawaii, the Kilauea volcano has been undergoing cycles of activity where lava effusion occurs for a few days, stops, then resumes again. This video will discuss these volcano related news stories, as told and analyzed by a volcanologist.
