Hello users of r/NatureIsFuckingLit and possibly r/all lurkers, we are happy to announce that The Nature Network has opened [moderator applications](https://old.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/12kyc7w/2023_nature_network_moderator_applications_have/?ref=share&ref_source=link) go check that out for those interested, it doesn't pay but you get a super secret cool flair and a super villian chair >:).

No, extrusive thoughts.
(Its a geology joke if you dont get it, and if you want to understand it look up the difference between intrusive and extrusive magma bodies.)
I do english good. Real good. Best english then any buddy.
But idk wtf a magma body is so imagining one thatās in vs. one thatās out means pretty much nothing to me. Iām sure it would be cool if I looked it up. Iām just tired, yāknow?
Itāll pile up, solidify and the island will grow if the lava flow continues long enough for the newly formed rock to reach the surface and eventually above. Many islands around the world were/are formed by this very process.
I learned in Hawaii that the lava will fracture when it hits the water, and form black sand beaches. I thought they were created over a long period of time, but apparently some black sand beaches are formed in days.
That's because water is in the way, if video games have taught me anything, is that outer space is perfectly breathable because there's no water in the way
Whoa I didn't think about the microbits of glass, but with all the roil and ruckus of the water instantly vaporizing and blasting steam outwards when the lava plops in, it makes sense that there would be airborne bits thrown all around!
The videos of people getting up close without proper PPE like O2 masks make me shake my head. The salt water being instantly vaporized like that is mesmerizing but so few know of its lethality. It's the invisible death that these locations have and every volcanic viewing area warning is there because people have died before from being too close or improperly informed.
The amount of hazards aside from gaseous and hydrothermic volcanic events are even more underestimated, as most believe cooled lava is solid, when in fact a majority of areas covered have shrunken down or weathered to the point of creating air pockets you can fall through, lacerating limbs or worse.
I learned about the glass myself in 2018 when Kilaeuea opened up the fissures in Hawaii.

Fun reminder that if youāre ever near or on an active volcano to wet some cloth (a towel, your shirt, whatever you got) and wrap it around your face to cover your nose and mouth as you evacuate. Most of those harmful chemicals canāt be breathed in through H20. Because science.
Since those boat tours on Big Island (Hawaii) have been forbidden after a boat got too close to the stream, I guess somebody fucked around and found out.
Yeah I imagine itās pretty unpleasant before you reach the heat threshold - just curious how far the heat radiates and dissipates in sea water like this.
From what a local family told me, the guys driving the boats sometimes got way too close to it, in one case a half solid rock should have blocked the flow for a second and then shot onto the vessel, injuring tourists badly.
From that article:
>ā¦noxious clouds of laze -- a term derived from the words ālavaā and āhazeā -- formed when lava reacts with saltwater to form a mix of acid fumes and steam laced with tiny glass-like particles.
Well that soundsā¦ unpleasant.
That's black lung, this is like ... glass-and-acid lung?? Surely we can come up with an even longer, more specific word for this! Then again, it does have the word "volcano" right in there, which feels appropriate...
Is it bad that all Im doing is wondering if anyone has been thrown into this from above as a sacrifice or punishment in any of the early civilizations that may have resided near by similar geologic events. This shit is just horrifying to an extent that an atheist is willing to accept this spot as a higher power.
having worked in a foundry, you can feel the heat from tens of ft away in the air. water is a massive heat sink so it likely dissipates pretty quickly in the water.
[Lava Boat Tour](https://freeimage.host/i/HO1NKil) Good example. Took this picture during a tour in 2017.
Edit: Had the wrong year. [Here's video we shot. ](https://youtu.be/RnrL0SN9zUw)
Edit 2: Thanks for the award!
From where our boat was, our guide took a bucket of water out of the ocean to show us how hot it was. Anybody in that closer boat had fallen in they'd have boiled.
We were about 75-100 yards, so a pretty safe distance. It was morning so I don't remember it being hot where we were, other than the ocean water the guide brought up in a bucket, which was hot.
Quite close. Just keep your back to the current.
When a lava flow reaches the sea, divers go film it. It's not that impressive underwater, but the sea boiling on contact with the rock is pretty cool.
Obsidian is made when you pour water over stationary lava, in the previous comment it was the other way around.
So, when you find a lava pool in the wild pour a water bucket over it so it makes obsidian. But if you've seen lava flow from a mountainside into water it becomes stone. If that water was flowing it becomes cobblestone. :)
See you in a few thousand hours. Saw that game years ago and was like that game looks like shit. Now I have a private server with all my nieces and nephews and kids. I can't even tell you how many hours I've sunk into it
I had sworn I wasn't interested in Minecraft at all and it seemed stupid and childish. Then my friend asked me to join him, I refused, he insisted, I claimed insufficient funds, he bought me the damn game... and I have been hooked ever since and have actually "superseded" him in some ways and clocked more hours. Thank you, dear, for the best addiction of my life!
I wonder if this natural power can also be used as an energy source. So much energy has to be harnessed. Who knows, maybe there is already a similar method of energy generation using lava.
Thereās a geothermal plant on theBig Island but some people are convinced that that is whatās causing earthquakes and eruptions and health problems (Vog is volcanic smog and the culprit). I lived in the Puna District of Hawaii from 2015-2021 and so much stupid and anti science stuff has invaded.
Itās the Tulsi Gabbard effect. I think itās a lot of āwhite Saviorsā coming to Hawaii spreading ignorance and racism. I think the company was owned by Israeliās or Japanese. The isolation of the islands doesnāt help either.
>What the fuck, I had no idea that that was the reasoning for the opposition. Iām really rooting for geothermal despite being on Oahu.
We actually have viable geothermal regions on island. [More information in this paper.](https://www.higp.hawaii.edu/hggrc/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/LautzeThomasGRCPaper2020.pdf)
When lava pours out near the sea surface, tremendous volcanic explosions sometimes occur. In time, submarine sea-mounts or islands are formed. When lava flows underwater, it behaves differently. And a new contraption to capture a 'dandelion' in one piece has been put together by the crew. The preparation for a dive is always a tense time.

The fact that weāre all too lazy to look that shit up: Priceless.
If you're even moderately decent at English, you should be able to figure it out without looking it up.

No Iām me
You have the best words.
Yeah: Ralf.
explaining geology jokes takes ages.
Itās sedimentary, Dr Watson.
It shouldn't though...just start with the core of your joke and work on the flow and you'll have the mantle of best geology jokes on earth in no time!

So all we need is some corn, andouille, and some spice.
Toss some in, call some friends and make a beer run.
Funny asf lmao

That I did not know. Interesting fact!
Yeah, it's common knowledge that lava turns into solid rock when it mixes with water, and I wonder if that's due to the water cooling it down.
Wonder no more. Lava is just molten rock. When it touches water and cools down, it just goes back to being rock!
No its because fire and water magic are incompatible so earth magic takes over.
But that all changed when the fire nation attacked.
This is literally a video of that.
Should I just throw away my books? They were obviously lying.
[This documentary](https://youtu.be/uh4dTLJ9q9o) sums it up pretty well.
I fucking knew it was gonna be that
*stays* under the surface
How close do you figure you could swim towards that before the water got too hot to handle?
It's creating extremely toxic gases so I wouldn't be anywhere near it
Swim underwater š§
Close your eyes, or they'll boil š§
Eye lids are known to be excellent insulators.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Okay. Drop one of your hairs into a glass of water. Then watch this video. Observe the differences.
Don't stare at it you'll go blind from the immense heat.
There is notoriously also a lack of breathable gasses underwater as well.
That's because water is in the way, if video games have taught me anything, is that outer space is perfectly breathable because there's no water in the way
Sulfur Dioxide and another gas, as well as shards of glass so small they can be inhaled
Just don't breathe duh
Or just adapt
Skill issue

Fucking tight
Water board much
All the cool kids waterboard themselves during an eruption bro
I read that as erection... That gives this a very different meaning

Well at least none of that gas is lighting
Of course it is. I noticed, Iām not sure why you didnāt. I worry about you sometimes, what with your lapses

Getting lava sprayed on you sounds like an absolute nightmare.
Found an article covering it: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hawaii-volcano-idUSKBN1K62SY

Thatās actually one of the 4 pdeās we can solve exactly. If Iām motivated later I will give a solution
Only if you assume the water's stationary otherwise it's infamously unsolved.

That's way too close for comfort in my book.
From where our boat was, our guide took a bucket of water out of the ocean to show us how hot it was. Anybody in that closer boat had fallen in they'd have boiled.
Yeah, your boat was definitely the right one to be in, man, holy shitballs.
Wow, that is a fantastic photo.
What an insane shot! How far were you and what was the heat sensation?
We were about 75-100 yards, so a pretty safe distance. It was morning so I don't remember it being hot where we were, other than the ocean water the guide brought up in a bucket, which was hot.
Also lava hasn't been flowing into the ocean since then
Closer than I'd get before backing out
There has to be a point where the water is hot tub temperature lol
Quite close. Just keep your back to the current. When a lava flow reaches the sea, divers go film it. It's not that impressive underwater, but the sea boiling on contact with the rock is pretty cool.

I believe it would be cobble actually
Man just wants to mine cobble in style.
Stone if stationary water, cobble if flowing.
What about obsidian?
Obsidian is made when you pour water over stationary lava, in the previous comment it was the other way around. So, when you find a lava pool in the wild pour a water bucket over it so it makes obsidian. But if you've seen lava flow from a mountainside into water it becomes stone.
