Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Erupts Again After 50 Years : Watch Video
Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, has erupted again, drawing significant attention.

The largest quake, with a magnitude of 4.1, happened at 9:12 p.m. on Sunday, just hours before the eruption began. Here is the video: According to recent research published in Nature Geosciences, a mechanism similar to a "stomp-rocket toy" may have contributed to the intensity of the lava flow, and this could influence future eruptions...
