  1. Much of the Tonga eruption is a fuel/coolant reaction. A moderate eruption blew away the cap on top and sea water directly hit a volume of magma, which created the large explosive eruption. This mechanism is similar to Krakatoa and Santorini eruptions, although the Tonga event is much smaller in scale.

  2. Mike is part of the USGS Yellowstone observatory team, and gives regular updates on the observatory. He shot himself in the foot when he said the nudersea volcanoes need monotoring and require cables to carry the data to land based stations. Unfortunately, The US has a LOT of undersea volcanoes along the Aleutian Arc, and the US cannot afford to monitor them using cables etc. I suppose that may change when one does erupt and sends a tsunami down the West Coast of N. America and devastates the coastline. Unless the Cascadia suture gives way and destroyes everything West if I5 and sets off the San Andreas fault at the same time. Thats gonna be a howler.
