These high hazard estimates for Haleakalā are based on the frequency of its eruptions. Haleakalā has erupted three times in approximately the last 900 years. By way of comparison, both Mauna Loa and Kilauea have erupted more than a dozen times each in the last 90 years. Hualalai has an eruption rate comparable to Haleakalā. All of Hualalai ...
[4] At this time, the trail was also marked by guideposts every 500 feet in order to assist travelers finding their way in the fog, which is a common occurrence in the area.

The ancient district of Kula. Kula roughly extends from Haleakala Highway (Hawaii Route 37) in the north to Keokea in the south—a distance of about 16 miles (26 km) around 20°47'32" N, 156°19'37" W. [4] The largely rural area known as Upper Kula includes the region up-slope (southeast) from Lower Kula, the more densely populated area spread along the Kula Highway.
The above relation implies that on the same day, the lengths of daytime from sunrise to sunset at and sum to 24 hours if =, and this also applies to regions where polar days and polar nights occur. This further suggests that the global average of length of daytime on any given day is 12 hours without considering the effect of atmospheric ...

As viewed from everywhere on Earth, it is a phenomenon that happens approximately once every 24 hours, except in areas close to the poles.
