Sintesi geologica

Kilauea overlaps the E flank of the massive Mauna Loa shield volcano in the island of Hawaii. Eruptions are prominent in Polynesian legends; written documentation since 1820 records frequent summit and flank lava flow eruptions interspersed with periods of long-term lava lake activity at Halemaumau crater in the summit caldera until 1924. The 3 x 5 km caldera was formed in several stages about 1,500 years ago and during the 18th century; eruptions have also originated from the lengthy East and Southwest rift zones, which extend to the ocean in both directions. About 90% of the surface of the basaltic shield volcano is formed of lava flows less than about 1,100 years old; 70% of the surface is younger than 600 years. The long-term eruption from the East rift zone between 1983 and 2018 produced lava flows covering more than 100 km2, destroyed hundreds of houses, and added new coastline.

Riassunto in inglese

Maunaulu, also known as Mauna Ulu, is a volcanic cone in the eastern rift zone of the Kīlauea volcano on the island of Hawaiʻi. It falls within the bounds of Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. Maunaulu was in a state of eruption from May 1969 to July 1974.
