At the time, Mauna Ulu was the longest flank recorded eruption of any Hawaiian volcano. The eruption formed a new vent, covered a large area of land with lava, and enlarged the island. The eruption started as a fissure between two pit craters, ʻĀloʻi and ʻAlae, where the Mauna Ulu shield eventually formed.
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).
The volcano, Hawaii's second largest next to neighbor Mauna Loa, started erupting through four scratch-like fissures about 12:30 a.m. in an area 2.5 miles southwest of its caldera, the U.S ...
Watch live as the Kilauea volcano erupts on Hawaii's Big Island after a three-month pause. This live feed, which began late on Saturday night local time (10 June) from the, shows lava spewing from ...
The second-largest volcano in Hawaii had been lying dormant for the last two months after bursting open in January and June this year. “The opening phases of eruptions are dynamic,” said USGS ...
These eruptions have taken place from pit craters and the main caldera, as well as parasitic cones and fissures along the East and Southwest rift zones. They are generally fluid ( VEI -0) Hawaiian eruptions , but more violent eruptions have occurred throughout Kīlauea's eruptive history, with the largest recorded explosive eruption having ...
Lava flow was recorded from Hawaii’s Mauna Loa overnight into Monday, November 28, as eruptions continued.The United States Geological Survey (USGS) released this timelapse footage and said it ...
A Hawaiian eruption is a type of volcanic eruption where lava flows from the vent in a relatively gentle, low level eruption; it is so named because it is characteristic of Hawaiian volcanoes. Typically they are effusive eruptions , with basaltic magmas of low viscosity , low content of gases, and high temperature at the vent.
