The Great Mauna Loa Volcano

natural disasters, such as earthquakes and volcanoes that I learned in Geology class. No one will recognize that the Hawaii is the island most likely to feel it. Volcanoes and earthquakes are natural hazards in Hawaii especially earthquakes that have great destructive potential and its have destroyed many other places in Hawaii and killed hundreds of people. There are many differences between volcanoes and earthquakes. These two types of natural disasters can compare or contrast to each other. They are

now. There’s thousands of volcanos, we don’t even know about, like the ones on the ocean floor that we aren’t even mindful of them erupting. The only thing scientists are aware of now that there are “at least 1000 identified magma systems” (Simkin & Siebert 27). Now the real question is, how do these volcanoes affect us and our environment? Many people wonder how many active volcanos there are. Around 50 to 70 volcanoes erupt each year. That isn’t even including the great number of underwater eruptions

a ticket I would love to visit Hawaii. Some reasons I would personally enjoy visiting Hawaii is for their weather, ocean, volcanoes, beaches, and of course their food. Hawaii has great weather all year long. In the summer it tends to be a drier season and in the winter it’s a wetter season. And since there’s always great climate you can do plenty of activities. Hawaii has awesome beaches and beautiful oceans and that’s the main reason I would love to visit Hawaii. I would go scuba diving so I could

extend for only 350 miles at the south-eastern end of the volcanic mountain chain. Hawaii includes some of the earth’s largest mountains, rising from oceanic depths of greater than 18,000 feet to a height above sea level of nearly 14,000 feet. Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island are volcanic mountains with a total relief of 32,000 feet. The entire Island of

areas in which this happens don’t always get the nutrient they need so, this is especially good for them to have these minerals. According to the article “Volcanic Soils”, “For how long it would take for the richer soil to form depends on where the volcano was and the places geographic factors.” This shows that it won’t come at the same rate for all environmental conditions. “By improving moisture retention, they make soil easier to till for farming” (McDonaugh 2). This means that not only will it help

Big Island of Hawaii. These islands have the biggest mountain range of the world. The Hawaiian islands cover 6,459 square miles and the land area is 6,423 square miles. The highest poin in Hawaii is Mauna Kea which is 13,796 feet into the sky. The lowest poin in Hawaii is at Pacific Ocean edge. Mauna Loa is the largest volcanic mountain in the world measures 13,679 ft in volume. The Mean Elevation is 3,03 feet above sea level. The highest temperature is 100 degree Fahrenheit which recored on April

crops, also allowing other plants to naturally grow nice and vigorous. Another stirring question is “How do volcanoes affect people?” Going into more detail, volcanoes have provided us with rich soil! When a volcano erupts, in the process it gargles out rock and ash. This rock and ash the volcano spits out is filled with rich minerals, but right away these minerals are not useful for plants. Depending on

on Hawaii's Big Island’. In this article, it told about many impacts happen to people’s life after their houses are burned in the volcanic eruption of Kalpana volcano which is situated in Hawaii. Not only 3-4 houses were burned, 190 houses were burned in that volcanic eruption and many people died. Whenever the volcano erupts, it's a great problem for people who live near them because they don’t know they will live or die but they need to be ready every time to move. If some people are saved then

My volcano that I am working on is located in Hawaii. Kilauea began to form over 300,000-600,000 years ago and has been active ever since. Mount Kilauea emerged from the sea 50,000-100,000 years ago.In 1990, flows of lava from Kilauea Volcano on the Island of Hawaii invaded Kalapana, a city known for black sand beaches. Although the residents were able to evacuate safely, their homes were incinerated, and by the end of that year all of Kalapana lay buried under 50 feet of lava. “In the past 1,100

volcanoes, scoria cones (cinder cones), and stratovolcanoes (composite). Each of these volcano types is influenced by the volume, the amount of magma, viscosity, a measure magma’s fluid friction, and volatiles or dissolved gases, of the magma that creates them. Shield volcanoes form from the solidification of lava flows of basalt (Abbott 2014). These large volume, low viscosity, low volatiles magma flows travel great distances. As thousands of layers of lava flows cool on top of one another other, volcanoes
