According to Fox News, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) posted a photo of a 65-foot-high circular lava tower (equivalent to nearly 20 meters) in the Hawaiian sea on Twitter, quickly attracting the attention of many people.
A lava tower rises from the sea 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 of 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 cubic meters of3enough lava to fill 140,000 Olympic swimming pools.
Lava towers typically occur when gas bubbles form rapidly and expand within molten rock, forcing lava to erupt. Lava towers typically range in height from 10 to 100 meters, with some reaching as high as 500 meters.
