earthquakes continue but lava doesn't make it to the surface of the earth. i guess that would be another good case scenario as well. scenario number three that they highlighted with lava flowing into the open land, into the lake, just to the shows we have potential concerns of what is called a limited eruption. this is the at least probably sce scenario. this would allow lava to flow in and it would release carbon d dioxide that could be lethal to humans and animals in the area. that would be a major major concern.
