Geology: 'Thar She Blows !!'

[Nik_SpeakerToCats]

Hydrothermal stuff is usually scenic mud-pots, hot-springs, geysers or 'maar' eruptions.

( Care: Bigger, 'Flood Meets Magma' events may range unto 'Full Hunga-Tonga' ...)

Here is an unusual example of another kind...

Magnitude 5.8 Earthquake in the Afar Region of Ethiopia linked to activity on Mount Dafan.

Scroll down to the movie...

As usual for 'Sciency Thoughts', there's a concise tour of the context.

Also, if you scroll down, the next article has a 'One Ring To Rule Them All' which fell from African sky. As yet, ownership unclear...

Think the 'one ring' is part of a space X rocket.

Think the 'one ring' is part of a space X rocket.

More likely to be part of a Chinese Rocket. SpaceX tries to land their rocket debris into Point Nemo (or off Western Australia for Starship). Chinese launches tend to fling themselves skyward, then the second and third (if necessary) stages hang around in orbit until the drag gets too much for them, then land on "To Whom It May Concern". The stages sometimes blow up in orbit first.

There's now a 'Volcano Café' article on this eruption and related regional issues.
