From the islands of Spain to the islands of Hawaii, magma is flowing and the ground is shaking.

Liquid hot magma.

So what's going on?

Today, the floor is lava as we learn about volcanic eruptions around the world.

I'm Bethany Van Delft. It's October 14th and this is the 10 News.

Volcanoes have been erupting into the news lately. On the Spanish island of La Palma, lava has been flowing for the last three weeks, and it's showing no signs of letting up.

Recently, blocks of magma, the size of three-story buildings, were seen flowing down the volcano.

The eruption in La Palma caught residents of the volcanic island off guard because this is the first time the volcano has erupted in 50 years.

While La Palma is part of Spain, it's one of the Canary Islands, a set of volcanic islands in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa.

And if you live on a volcanic

island, it's important to always be prepared for the possibility of an eruption. The eruption on La Palma

has damaged over 1,000 buildings and displaced over 6,000 people. But so far, there have been no

reports of injuries or deaths.

When a volcano erupts, it's not just the lava you need to worry about.

Are you kidding me?

Eruptions are usually accompanied by seismic activity.

You know, earthquakes, and even lightning.

You heard me lightning.

Scientists think the collisions between ash particles around lava

cause electrical charges to build up that lead to lightning strikes.

Volcanoes come in all shapes and sizes.
