The volcano in Kilauea exploded when a rock slide fell into a river of lava, scientists say.

Kilauea first went active in 1983, but recently, the USGS says new lava flow breakouts are being discovered on the volcano.

Fortunately, the lava does not pose an immediate threat to the nearby villages at the base of the volcano.

In 2014, an entire village was forced to evacuate as a lava flow destroyed at least one home and threatened many more.
