What is the strength of Mt.Kilauea on the Ricter scale?
Mount Kilauea on Hawaii is a volcano.The Richter scale is measurement of an earthquake strength.Thus you can not put Mt. Kilauea on the Richter scale - they are not the same thing!However when volcanoes erupt they do produce localearthquakes which you can measure on the Richter scale but to choose which one you want to know about you have to provide a date for the eruption event.Mt. Kilauea is (March - April 2008) currently undergoing some small explosive eruptions that have produced very smallearthquakes, some ash and allot of SO2 gas.
