Chaiten volcano eruption - Chile, May 2009

So here's how that works:

First it enflates a bit at some point due to the pressure of the lava pushing from the inside.



Then it not just inflates but the new lava dome becomes a new peak of its own.


Some rock gives in under clouds of dust and cinders, the lava comes out.


And the montain peak pretty much gives in under the pressure of gazes and the lava and you have this.


And that.


And by night you see a couple of that.




And down the valley you end up with that...when things turn pretty good.



And that's how life came to Earth to begin with.
