  1. Hawaiian Volcanoes By Jenna Naone

  2. Volcanoes • Kilauea • Mauna Loa • Hualalai • Eruptions in Hawaiian Volcanoes are usually preceded by a series of earthquakes which open fissures and allow magma to reach the surface.

  3. Kilauea • Pu’u’O’o-Kupaianaha eruption of Kilauea • Kilauea is the youngest volcano and one of the world’s most active • Three main areas of eruption - the summit - two rift zones

  4. Eruptions of Kilauea • Most Eruptions are relative- ly gentle • Lava flows downslope • Gradually building up the volcano giving it a gentle, shield-like form

  5. Future of Kilauea • The future looks much like the past. • Continued eruptions through the rest of human history!

  6. Mauna Loa • Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on Earth • Considered the “Monarch of Mountains” • High rate of eruption • Flows can move far and fast

  7. Hualalai • The third youngest and third-most historically active • Contains six different vents • Considered potentially dangerous which is likely to erupt again in the next 100 years
