My guess of how this works is there was a great, great mass under intensive pressure.

As the pressure built some of it erupted, and there is now slightly less mass under slightly less pressure.

The lightning is pretty amazing too.

The Earth is alpha as ****!

[nightprowler10]

Wow, that is amazing. Is that lightning?
Yup, caused by the ash and rock formations that are being spit out I believe. Dirty thunderstorm.
