Maunaloa (Hawaiian pronunciation: [mɐwnəˈlowə]) or Mauna Loa [2] is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County, Hawaiʻi, United States, in the western part of the island of Molokai. The population was 435 at the 2020 census .
Like all Hawaiian volcanoes, Mauna Loa was created as the Pacific tectonic plate moved over the Hawaii hotspot in the Earth's underlying mantle. [10] The Hawaii island volcanoes are the most recent evidence of this process that, over 70 million years, has created the 3,700 mi (6,000 km)-long Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain. [11]

The distance between the summit of the older Mauna Loa and the summit of Kamaʻehuakanaloa is about 50 mi (80 km), which is, coincidentally, also the approximate diameter of the Hawaiʻi hotspot. [3] Kamaʻehuakanaloa consists of a summit area with three pit craters , a 7 mi (11 km) long rift zone extending north from the summit, and a 12 mi ...
A collapse occurred around (uncertain) years ago on the eastern/north eastern flank of the volcano and lava flows from East Molokai had filled in the open space, connecting the two volcanoes above surface (also known as the Molokai Saddle). The cliffs of the eastern side of West Molokai is the only remaining evidence for this land slip.
Of the 13 major summits of Hawaiʻi, Mauna Kea exceeds 4000 meters (13,123 feet) of topographic prominence, Haleakalā exceeds 3000 meters (9843 feet), Mauna Loa exceeds 2000 meters (6562 feet), six peaks are ultra-prominent summits with more than 1500 meters (4921 feet), and eight peaks exceed 1000 meters (3281 feet) of topographic prominence.
