That arcing of the lava really is something to behold. The pressures to push molten rock like that are impressive.

It's just the weight of literally everything on the planet pushing down, as well as miles of rock :)

Indirectly. The actual spike of pressure that ejects the magma comes from the gasses dissolved therein. When the magma moves up, the pressure drops and the gasses become oversaturated and thus prone to violent release.

“just” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there ;)

Indeed. I just wish we could get a better sense of the scale, which is always hard in nature shots devoid of trees or human structures. A productive use of AI would be to place some houses and automobiles in the video for scale.
