Kilauea, active Hawaiian volcano, could erupt like a 'stomp-rocket toy,' new study suggests. Scientists noted the unusual eruption behavior at least 12 times in 2018.

Kilauea has been erupting regularly since 1983 and is watched closely at all times. From May until August of that year, the volcano's huge eruption spewed large lava flows throughout the nearby ...

According to the team, this stomp-rocket like mechanism may not be unique to the 2018 Kīlauea eruptions. It could also have been at play in other collapse eruptions , including another one at ...

The researchers compare it to a stomp rocket toy, where you stomp down on an air reservoir and the pressure pushed through a hose sends a projectile into the air. "Volcanic eruptions rarely happen ...

Kilauea, located at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, experienced at least a dozen instances in 2018 when lava was spewing from the crater like a "stomp-rocket toy," a children's ...

KAUAI, Hawaii. — Scientists may have found the mechanism behind the unusual explosive eruptions seen at one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
