@Planetaryquakes At the Halemaumau lava lake ~2008, rockfall was known to be able to disrupt a gas-rich layer underneath the lake surface and trigger eruptions. Assuming you jump from high enough with enough momentum to break the surface, you could do more

@NESTA_US Here’s a paper showing how disruption of the Kilauea lava lake surface by rock fall could trigger ash eruption 😃 (this would support the idea that the jug breaking the surface was more significant than the water) https://t.co/IiDs0MNiVr
