According to Fox News, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) posted a photo of a 65-foot-tall circular lava tower (equivalent to nearly 20 meters) in the Hawaiian sea on Twitter, quickly attracting the attention of many people.
A lava tower emerges from the ocean in a perfect circle. This rare image is the result of an eruption in the east rift zone of the Kilauea volcano on the Big Island, Hawaii.
Lava domes formed during the eruption of Mauna Ulu, on the Big Island of Hawaii. The eruption lasted for five years, from May 1969 to July 1974.
It was the longest, largest eruption on the east flank of Kilauea volcano in at least 2,200 years. The 1,774-day eruption produced about 350 million m3enough lava to fill 140,000 Olympic swimming pools.
Lava towers usually appear when gas bubbles form rapidly and expand in molten rock, pushing lava flows outward. Typically, lava towers are 10-100 meters high, with some even reaching 500 meters.
