  • A geologist describes the types of lava flows found on Hawaii, including pahoehoe and aa, shows what happens when wood is introduced into pahoehoe lava, and shows why lava deltas are dangerous and can disappear quickly. Animations, aerial footage, ground shots, time lapse.

    No click-bait, no stupid jokes, no begging for likes, succinct objective presentation, good ratio of video and images, music only used as background sparingly. This video does not belong on TH-cam. Good job sir, I wish this site had more quality content like this.

    In case others notice the change, there were a couple of passages where I thought one of my speakers had packed up, as the audio shifted more or less to one channel, from being centred. But I can see from a quick look at the audio waveform that it is on the video.

    High viscosity means it flows slowly, something with low viscosity will flow easily. water has a very low viscosity. Other than this, great video!

    • @jerrymagloughlin3070
      @jerrymagloughlin3070  7 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      Thanks. You're right, pahoehoe lava is low viscosity lava, and as I said, when it flows slowly, for example on relatively flat ground, all those interesting patterns can form. As the lava increases its viscosity, aa lava results, which usually forms the very slow, thicker, bulldozer-tread-like flow pattern we illustrated.

    • @CalvinHodgson
      @CalvinHodgson 6 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Just based on that description alone it is likely formed by a sill (underground vertical intrusion of magma) or lava of basalt that breaks into hexagons as it cools. This is known as columnar jointing.

    • @ResortDog

    The only light I had at the time was my phones flashlight. My brother and I walked in while my Dad slept in the car, he works nights and was very tired. We must have spent at least an hour or two wondering deeper and deeper into the tube. Marveling at how interesting everything looked.
