In the preshield stage, Hawaiian volcanoes have steeper sides and a lower level of activity, producing an alkali basalt lava. [17] [18] Continued volcanism is expected to eventually give birth to an island at Kamaʻehuakanaloa. It experiences frequent landslides; the growth of the volcano has destabilized its slopes, and extensive areas of ...
Puʻu ʻŌʻō (also spelled Pu‘u‘ō‘ō, and often written Puu Oo, pronounced [ˈpuʔu ˈʔoːʔoː], poo-oo-OH-oh) is a volcanic cone on the eastern rift zone of Kīlauea volcano in the Hawaiian Islands.

Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, began erupting around 2:30 a.m. local time, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Kīlauea's eruption from January 3, 1983, to 2018 was by far its longest-duration period of activity in modern times, as well as one of the longest-duration eruptions documented on Earth; as of January 2011, the eruption had produced 3.5 km 3 (1 cu mi) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km 2 (48 sq mi) of land.
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano is currently spewing fiery red-orange lava up to 250 feet high from its north vent – in what’s called "Episode 8" of the ongoing Halemaʻumaʻu eruption.
The 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa was an episode of eruptive volcanic activity at Mauna Loa, the world's largest active volcano, located on Hawaiʻi Island, Hawaiʻi. Mauna Loa began to erupt shortly before midnight HST on November 27, 2022, when lava flows emerged from fissure vents in Moku‘āweoweo (Mauna Loa's summit caldera ).
Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii started erupting on Monday following a three-month pause, the U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said.. Kilauea began erupting around 2:30 a.m. local ...
