(146,323 posts)4. It's hard to imagine how much power molten rock has.
Tons of pressure and really, really high temperatures. I know they've tried a few times to divert lava flows, but without much success. It just plows through and over everything.
I'm glad I'm not looking at that in person anywhere near my property. I'd like to be able to see it in person, though, but probably never will. No volcanoes in Minnesota.

Must be difficult for the property owners, there is nothing powerful enough to stop the lava from taking over their property.
