Memento posted:Temperature is the main way. They can take samples to confirm it but you can only get so close to an active fissure. They have satellite and airborne thermal cameras to confirm the temperatures, and the closure temperature (when the magma cools enough to close it off from further compositional and isotopic change) of mantle magma has been experimentally determined. So they know how hot something is going to be fresh off the mantle, and comparing it to these they're really, really close. The upwelling magma is probably moving at a rate of 20-25km/day - normally this is in the single digits for even the biggest eruptions. This is never going to be a really explosive eruption like Mount St. Helens or Pompeii, because it's the wrong sort of volcanism, but from the perspective of volume there's going to be a lot of it. Like new real estate "a lot" or higher elevation of existing "a lot"?

I love that some people saw the glass lifter suction cup things as a person clinging to the glass, that's both hilarious and horrifying. And when I try to see it as a little guy, I can kinda see it that way.

Proteus Jones posted:Like new real estate "a lot" or higher elevation of existing "a lot"? Raise elevation a lot. If this is the actual start of a Large Igneous Province generating event, we won't know because those things are 100k-year-range events. Even if it goes for another few years at this rate it will just result in a lot of new submarine elevation lift as opposed to making new islands. For reference, the age difference between the Big Island and the second newest one is about 600k years. So making an actual new island isn't something that happens in human timeframes.

SpacePig posted:So a tractor trailer hit a tractor trailer hard enough that the first tractor trailer hit both the pickup truck and yet another tractor trailer in front of that pickup. If I wasn't afraid of driving between tractor trailers already, I would sure as hell be now. I'm honestly shocked that something that looks like that heap used to be a pickup truck. Yeah, I thought it must have been a tiny car to start with, but I guess on closer inspection it was a pickup  I wonder if maybe following the guidance that if someone is riding your rear end, you should leave more space in front would have helped? How many seconds do I need to leave for a tractor trailer riding my rear end and another one riding his? Double the distance in the rain, soon I'm leaving a 10 second gap in front of me or something and they'll just intentionally run me off the road because as far as they can tell I'm just driving really slowly.Yes, I have been intentionally run off the road by a tractor trailer before, for the crime of driving at exactly the same speed as the car in front of me, but with about a 2 second gap between us. It seems like leaving a safe following distance just causes road rage because everyone sees this gap that they'd like to get to. I should take a leaf out of the book of soccer moms and just get an even bigger vehicle for my own safety.

It has been suggested to me that some of the airship images I've been posting belong ITT. I see a few posters I know; sorry for spamming airship content, I just have not looked at this stuff in awhile   Old airships habit of using ladders everywhere is probably not OSHA compliant, especially as you'd be going up and down these things at 20,000 ft at night in the winter  Later airships flew lower, retained ladders:  Apparently very few were killed in airship construction:  Just a mechanic, fixing something at 1500 ft in a bosun's chair  Not pictured: 250 foot drop

I think the silk sides of the loading ramp was put on after somebody complained about this, I came across a quote that said something like "the ramp got a protective cover to protect passengers from the 250 ft drop."
