1 Hawaiian Volcanoes By Jenna Naone

2 Volcanoes Kilauea Mauna Loa Hualalai Eruptions in Hawaiian Volcanoes are usually preceded by a series of earthquakes which open fissures and allow magma to reach the surface.

3 Kilauea Pu’u’O’o-Kupaianaha eruption of Kilauea Kilauea is the youngest volcano and one of the world’s most active Three main areas of eruption - the summit - two rift zones

4 Eruptions of Kilauea Most Eruptions are relative- ly gentle Lava flows downslope Gradually building up the volcano giving it a gentle, shield-like form

5 Future of Kilauea The future looks much like the past. Continued eruptions through the rest of human history!

6 Mauna Loa Mauna Loa is the largest volcano on Earth Considered the “Monarch of Mountains” High rate of eruption Flows can move far and fast

7 Hualalai The third youngest and third-most historically active Contains six different vents Considered potentially dangerous which is likely to erupt again in the next 100 years
