Are there any towns or cities at risk from an eruption of volcano kilauea?

There is a small Hawaiian tow called Kilauea, located on the island of Kauai. However, the more famous Kilauea is the active volcano that makes up a portion of the island of Hawaii (the "Big Island").


What continent is Mount Kilauea on?

None of the above.The volcano is on the big island of Hawaii. See the related link for more information. Though it is on a Hawaiian island and part of the United States, country's claims to places do not effect their geographic location. Kilauea is on the Pacific plate and is part of the United States, however it is not part of the North American tectonic plate. Also for example Southern California west of the San Andreas fault is not on the North American Plate either, it is also on the Pacific.

The Clock of eras is a graphic aid to help us visualize geologic time. It uses the analogy of a circular clock to represent the development of our planet in geologic time. One can see at a glance the relative time lengths of each major geologic era. The Clock represents geologic time on the Earth since its birth to the present, from the initial events that brought about the formation up to now. Each hour represents approximately 375 million years
