Sorry if I someone else has mentioned this, but I was trying to figure out why the volcano seems to be much more active at night than during the day.

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the tides...maybe more water gets into the magma chambers and causes more explosions?

Does anyone know what time high tide is on La Palma? It would be interesting to note if the tide correlates to more explosions per hour, and more lava flow.

Is it not more to do with the fact we can see the glow more at night? Looks angrier at night...

There was an "electrical engineer" guy on early this morning (like about 2 am?) who said it has to do with the symbiosis of the sun and the wolcano, and the "electrical charge" is weak during the night, so the wolcano is - basically - "REACHING OUT" for the charges, so to speak from the sun (because they are not visible, being on the opposite side of the planet during the night).

This is a very, very weak explanation of what he said. Really, it's my sad attempt to decipher what he said, since most of it went over my head! LOL

I'll try to find it again, I think I remember about what time it was when he wrote it. Prolly about 20 pages ago or so....

The electrical charge is definitely not weak on the dark side.

If he is an electrical engineer that’s the first problem… they get to focused on old ways of thinking. And that is definitely not how the global electrical circuit works. Too much physics.

They did they same thing with Moore’s law. I tried to explain quantum tunneling… they couldn’t understand gate failures… it’s why we have dual, quad, etc cores… physics got in the way.

I don’t understand the mechanism yet… but the increases in tremors do occur more at night. However, they have occurred at day as well… just not as often.

How about temperature differential between night and day.

Sun no longer heating the land at night, land/material contracts a little, this lets energy out a bit, then heat comes along land/material expands a little and nits everything a bit tighter damping down the ability for the energy/magma to push out.

think when you have ot heat a seized nut to get it off, the tinest expansion of the metal is enough to break it free. Metal also become more brittal at lower temps.

It only has to be a small differential on average across the mass of land and material, where expansion and contract is occurring like clock work as is night and day - You woudl think this mechanical interplay has to go some way to expelling the cyclical observations.
