Seems like a pretty poor “simulation”, seeing as lava sinks in water. Here is a video with an actual demonstration of how islands are made from volcanoes, demonstration starts around 1:00.
I remember seeing reports a few years back about a new set of volcanic islands forming in the pacific ocean that would only last for a few weeks. So after seeing this clip is it safe to assume that the reason behind this is that the islands were formed on “stilts” and sank when the legs gave out?
I feel like this is counter intuitive. Wouldn’t some of the lava(magma?) solidify and get in the way causing it to spray many different directions sending solidified rock everywhere. Seems more like just a reaction that’s directed upwards.
Can someone explain more of what is going on here please?
That is a really long finger
TIL my old lava lamp is a sophisticated marine geological simulator.

The lava falls to the ocean floor to build up a hill with a base, it doesn’t just shoot a plume straight up to the surface and stay there.
Can’t unsee the outlets, monocle and a small mouth
Came to comment on the finger
I read underwater as underwear and expected a different video.
Carol never wore her safety goggles.
I like how this captures the excitement of the dude in the back. He goes from looking bored to really interested in seconds
HOW LONG WAS THAT GUY’S FINGER?!?
the lack of goggles is concerning.
Shroud is that you?

They looks like guys that would simulate underwater eruptions in their free time.
/u/stabbot
Lmao is it weird that i likes the way that guys face lit up?
This is cool and all but I can’t stop staring at the sockets on the wall that look like eyeballs.
The crack in my phone made me read “underwear eruption.” And yet I opened the post.
The real experiment is the electrical job that thing is plugged into.
So basically just a lava zit?
Are these the guys who made an Alt-J song? :O
Surly i wasn’t the only one excepting it to blow up in there faces?
trashy mustaches, the video
Googlyeyes sockets
Magma flowing into a subaqueous environment produces pillar lava
Hydrostatic pressure of sea water tends to inhibit the vesicle size of the basalt!
From the Thumbnail I thought the thing on the right were googly eyes ans I had to double check the sub.
More like a simulation of my period

Those googley eyes tho
I mistakenly read this as “underwear eruption” and it made for a much more disturbing experience…
