In addition, the lava at the contact with water is likely developing another kinds of volcanic edifices, known as littoral cones. The water, reacting with lava, will quickly generate steam explosions, so-called laze (lava haze), blasting out showers of solid-to-semisolid fragments derived from the outer part of the flow....16 Mar:The Volcanological Observatory of Piton de la Fournaise reported that the advancing lava flow at the volcano entered the ocean on 16 March after it crossed the main road since 13 March.Over the past month, since the eruption commenced, the lava has been traveling over the entire length of the eastern slope until it reached the shoreline yesterday. The lava at the contact with water started to develop other kinds of volcanic edifices, known as littoral cones. The water, reacting with lava, will quickly generate steam explosions, so-called laze (lava haze), blasting out showers of solid-to-semisolid fragments derived from the outer part of the flow. ...
