15. RE: Crater lakes- my understanding is different on CO2 releases
My understanding is that the CO2 comes from a mini-eruption where a large amount of CO2 is released from the volcano all at once. The "upwelling" of water is caused by the sudden release of gas pressure which has been building up under the lake. It has happened many times the past 30 or 40 years, the silent deadly cloud of gasses rolling down the mountain sides and killing all animal life.
