When is Kilueas next eruption?

There is no way of predicting accurately when a volcano would next erupt. However, for Kilauea to have a "next" eruption, the current one has to stop. The volcano is erupting right now, and has been erupting continuously since 1983.


Can't people put some thing in a volcano to make it stop erupting?

No. We cannot stop a volcano from erupting. The chances of the Yellowstone volcano erupting any time soon are negligible.


What happens if a volcano does not stop erupting?

A volcano that does not stop erupting would create a pretty big mountain from all the lava piling up and cooling down.


What can't you do when a volcano is erupting?

When a volcano is erupting, it is generally not safe to be near or approach the volcano. It is advised to avoid the area and not attempt to see the eruption up close. Additionally, flying or operating aircraft near an erupting volcano can pose significant risks due to the ash plume and potential disruption to air traffic.


When will mont kilauea stop erupting?

It will probably not stop for many centuries. At this time, Loihi seamount, and undersea volcano on the bottom of Mauna Loa, is spewing lava and is growing. It will become the next Hawaiian Island, and eventually create a large addition to the Big Island. Assuming that this process will not stop, Loihi will continue to spew and erupt, as other volcanoes like Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea eventually grow even more dormant. Although there is a chance of another active volcano on Maui, these volcanoes will become extinct, like Diamond Head near Honolulu, on Oahu. Loihi will be the new Kilauea.

Is mount st Helens the youngest volcano on earth?

No, not by any definition. If you define the "youngest volcano" by "most recently erupted", then that honor goes to Kilauea, which has been erupting non-stop since 1983. Mount St. Helens last "erupted" in early 2008 when steam escaped from a fracture in the lava dome.


Why dont scientists know when the volcano in iceland will stop erupting?

The reason scientists can't tell when it will stop erupting is because they can't tell how much molten lava is under the volcano. Even if the volcano doesn't stop erupting, flights within Europe may be resumed, the reason we're getting all this ash is because the molten lava hits the iceberg on top of the volcano and the sudden change in temperature and pressure gives off masses of fine ash.


Can you stop volcano erupting?

Fortunately or unfortunately, you cannot. You can do your best to stop the lava flow but even that is very difficult.
