hi leilaniguide,
if you read the article I linked, itÔs not saying "blow your top" as in blow the top away like Mt. St. Helens.
ItÔs saying explosive eruptions from out of the caldera, which is not the same thing, that goes on INSTEAD of the oozing in alternate cycles for hundreds of years at a time.
They have used carbon dating to establish this new view of Kilauea that was published in 2011, a new view that basically said scientists were wrong about Kilauea if they thought it just oozes.
