How many times has kilimanjaro erupted?
Mauna Kea has 6 known eruptions during Holocene times. The most recent was approximately 2460 BCE and the earliest known eruption of Holocene time was approximately 5150 BCE. The length of time between eruptions has drasticly increased due to the waning activity from this volcano. Mauna Kea with its most recent eruption roughly 4,500 years ago is in the post-shield stage of development, which is characterized by more explosive and infrequent eruptions from the volcano. Although the eruptions are explosive in nature they are often times very small and short lived.
Which is a good example of a shield volcano?
Kilauea and Mauna Loa are both shield volcanos located in HawaiiAll the volcanoes on the Hawaii islands are shield volcanoes.Examples of shield volcanoes include Kilauea, Mauna Kea, and Mauna Loa in Hawaii, Isabela Island in the Galapagos, and Olympus Mons on Mars.
What factors determine how explosive the eruption of a volcano will be?
In a volcano, the higher the pressure rises before eruption takes place, the more explosive the eruption will be. Some volcanoes seem to be "gentle flow" as a matter of course (like Mauna Loa in Hawaii). Some seem to be explosive as a matter of course (like Vesuvius in Italy). Others manifest both types of eruptions.
How deadly was the mauna loa 1984 eruption?
Although I would prefer more clarification on exactly what you are asking, the simple answer to that is: it wasn't.This most recent eruption of Mauna Loa actually from March 27, 1984 to April 15, 1984. While I'm sure some plant life and probably a few stray animals may have met an untimely demise, during the 23-day eruption period, there were no human fatalities.In fact, since 1950, there have been no reports of eruptions causing either casualties or property damage.I don't know what idiot in the world wrote the entry above me. The 1984 people killed about 300,050 people. Yes, quite little human fatalities, right?Well the person above you said no there where not any deadly eruptions and the mauna loa eruption in 1984 was no deadly at all in fact the volcano is still active.
What are some famous volcano eruptions?

What are some shield volcano examples?
one is Mauna Lou, on the big island of Hawaii. it is the biggest volcano on earth
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.

Do other planets have volcano eruptions?
There is some evidence of volcanic activity on Venus, but no conclusive evidence of any recent eruptions. In addition, Io, a moon of Jupiter has an extremely high rate of volcanic activity. Titan, a moon of Saturn, is believed to have volcanoes as well.

What are some triggers for volcanic eruptions?
In an inactive volcano, magma that is traveling towards the surface of the volcano can trigger eruption. Science is also indicating that earthquakes can be a causative factor in the eruption of a volcano.
What materials does the composite volcano have after erupting?
Eruptions from composite volcanoes vary. Some eruptions will produce ash and pumice, some produce volcanic bombs, while still others produce lava flows.
