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.

There is no such thing as "a kilauea shield volcano". Kilauea is the name of a specific volcano that makes up the easternmost portion of the island of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian islands. Kilauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, holding the record the the longest continuous volcanic eruption, which has been going for more than 31 years and shows no signs of stopping. Kilauea is a shield volcano, meaning it is large with broad slopes formed by countless flows of runny basaltic lava.

Hilo, Hawaii, is located on the eastern side of the Big Island of Hawaii, while the Kilauea volcano is located on the southern side of the island. Although Hilo is relatively close to Kilauea, it is not directly impacted by its eruptions. However, Hilo can experience minor effects such as volcanic gases, vog (volcanic smog), and occasional ash fall depending on the wind direction and strength.
