[3] It also disrupted the magma system beneath Mauna Loa, as is shown both in reduced lava volumes and an abrupt change in the lava ...

An explosive volcanic eruption occurred near the Kingdom of Tonga, a nation of 170 islands in the southwestern Pacific Ocean, causing tsunami waves to impact the region and ash to fill the sky. A ...
Significant damage occurred in the southern part of the Big Island totalling $4–4.1 million, and it also triggered a small brief eruption of Kilauea volcano.

A tsunami advisory was in effect for Hawaii, Alaska and the U.S. Pacific coast. ... “Can literally hear the volcano eruption, sounds pretty violent,” he wrote, adding in a later post ...
A volcanic tsunami, also called a volcanogenic tsunami, is a tsunami produced by volcanic phenomena. About 20–25% of all fatalities at volcanoes during the last 250 years have been caused by volcanic tsunamis. The most devastating volcanic tsunami in recorded history was that produced by the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa. The waves reached ...
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 ...
Tsunamis have been triggered by a number of volcanic eruptions, including the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai eruption. Over 20% of all fatalities caused by volcanism during the past 250 years are estimated to have been caused by volcanogenic tsunamis.
