On May 4, 2018, an earthquake with a magnitude of M w 6.9 [5] struck Hawaii island in the Hawaii archipelago at around 12:33 p.m. local time. [6] The earthquake's epicenter was near the south flank of Kīlauea, which has been the site of seismic and volcanic activity since late April of that year. [7]
Along the Koa’e Fault Zone, there was a Mw 7.7 earthquake in 1975, and a Mw 7.2 earthquake in 2018. Though it is impossible to predict when large scale earthquakes will occur, researchers suggest that it could take another 25–30 years for enough stress to accumulate along the fault zone to cause another Mw >7 earthquake to occur.

The island's most powerful earthquake since Hawaii became a state was a magnitude 7.7 in 1975, with an epicenter about 27 miles southeast of Hilo. "And that was really devastating.
A magnitude 4.7 earthquake struck the Big Island of Hawaii on Thursday as officials tracked two rapidly developing storms in the Pacific. The temblor was reported nine miles south of Fern Forest ...
The velocity structure of the Earth. The red line is the P-wave velocity, the blue line is the S-wave velocity, and the green line density. (Data was adopted from the RockHound Python library.) Seismic velocity structure is the distribution and variation of seismic wave speeds within Earth's and other planetary bodies' subsurface.
A magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck the world’s largest active volcano on Friday — Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii — knocking items off shelves and cutting power in a nearby town but not ...
