Explaining the formation of lava flow skylights

🌋 Skylights are formed when a section of the crusted roof of a lava tube collapses, revealing the flowing lava underneath.

🌊 In the case of this particular flow, a skylight over the lava tube provided a spectacular view of a rapidly moving lava stream.

❓ The video also explores the cause of the collapse of the lava tube's roof, leading to the formation of skylights.

🌋 The skylight was surrounded by a thin crust, causing it to collapse.

🔥 The speed of the flowing lava in the tube was estimated to be 1-2 meters per second or 1-2 yards per second.

⏩ The conversion of the lava speed from meters per second to miles per hour was not mentioned.
