What is the cause of the Mauna Loa?
The cause of Mauna Loa is that this volcano formed due to a mountain breakage!
What is happening to the plates that form Mauna Loa?
Mauna Loa was formed by a hot spot, not plate interactions. Currently, the movement of the Pacific Plate is carrying Mauna Loa away from the hot spot that formed it.
How many times did mauna loa erupt?
Maun Lao has erupted about 33 times
Will mount mayon erupt again?
Yes it will in about a year or so. Scientists are still trying to find out the exact date for when it will erupt (last answer.) Scientists do not know what will happen between Mauna Loa and Kilauea. After an earthquake in 1984, eruptive activity stopped at Mauna Loa completely. Many think that the magma chamber changed during the quake and the energy was sent to Kilauea. Of course, Mauna Loa will erupt again, that is for sure. I doubt it will cease activity so close to it's extremely active neighbor. Tremors are found daily at Mauna Loa. Oh, and one more thing; Mount Mauna Loa is not it's proper title; Mauna means Mountain in Hawaiian :-)
Why did mauna loa erupt in 1984?
It erupted because there was an earth quake that day or day before which caused the plates to move slightly causing the magma to rise up the chamber and explode!
