Kīlauea. Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The 2018 lower Puna eruption was a volcanic event on the island of Hawaiʻi, on Kīlauea volcano's East Rift Zone that began on May 3, 2018. It is related to the larger eruption of Kīlauea that began on January 3, 1983, though some volcanologists and USGS scientists have discussed whether to classify it as a new ...
Near Kilauea volcano, the largest structure formed by the collapse of the southeastern flank of the island is the Hilina slump. This slump moves seaward at an average rate of 10 cm/year (3.9 in/year). The slump moved during the May 4 earthquake by about 0.6 m (2.0 ft) and has moved during previous earthquakes, such as those in 1868 and 1975. [16]
Kīlauea's eruption from January 3, 1983, to 2018 was by far its longest-duration period of activity in modern times, as well as one of the longest-duration eruptions documented on Earth; as of January 2011, the eruption had produced 3.5 km 3 (1 cu mi) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km 2 (48 sq mi) of land.
Geologists said it was extremely unlikely Kilauea would have a massive eruption like that of 1790 which killed dozens of people in the deadliest eruption to occur in what is now the United States ...
September 17, 2024 at 3:59 PM. HAWAIʻI VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, Hawaii – After a recent eruption in the East Rift Zone of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, the U.S. Geological Survey has issued an ...
An enormous and continuous plume of dark ash began spewing from a fissure on Hawaii's Kīlauea Volcano with increased intensity on Tuesday.
This is a list of volcanic eruptions from Kīlauea, an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that is currently erupting. These eruptions have taken place from pit craters and the main caldera, as well as parasitic cones and fissures along the East and Southwest rift zones. They are generally fluid (VEI -0) Hawaiian eruptions, but more ...
2008 Map of Kīlauea Caldera with Halemaʻumaʻu lower left. Halemaʻumaʻu (six syllables: HAH-lay-MAH-oo-MAH-oo) is a pit crater within the much larger Kīlauea Caldera at the summit of Kīlauea volcano on island of Hawaiʻi. The roughly circular crater was 770 meters (2,530 ft) x 900 m (2,950 ft) before collapses that roughly doubled the ...
