  1. Predicting the Next Hawaiian Volcano Adapted from Science Scope January 2010

  2. Lab Notebook Setup Name: _________ Date:_____ Lab Partner: ____________ Predicting the Next Hawaiian Volcano Purpose: Can current geological data be used to predict the next Hawaiian Volcano? Prediction:

  3. Lab Notebook Setup Cont... • Observations: (Figure 1 – Map & Figure 2 – Data Table)

  4. Movement of Pacific Plate over fixed Hawaiian “Hot Spot”

  5. Determining Volcano Spacing • Measure the distance from Mauna Loa to the other volcanoes on the Loa trend & record in data table. • Determine the “average” spacing – divide total distance by # of older volcanoes in Loa trend

  6. Data Table

  7. Geologic Map of South Kilauea Island • The Hilina Slump is a large landslide caused by lateral spreading of the volcano. • Loihi is the youngest volcano on the Loa trend. • Hohonu Seamount is a Cretaceousage volcano. • QTa is a thin apron of nearly flat sediment • Qpe is the undisturbed submarine lava flows on the flanks of the volcanoes. Qy is lava fields.

  8. Google Earth • Images of this area are available via Google Earth
