What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
What type of magma did the mauna kea volcano have?
The Hawaiian Islands were formed by coalesing shield volcanoes. These volcanoes are exclusively composed of Basalt lava. The lava does not readily trap gas and flows very easily giving Mauna Loa, and Kiluaea there pronounced rounded shapes we see today.
How many active and non active volcanoes are there in Hawaii?
Three volcanoes are considered as active: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai (without submarine volcanoes). Mauna Kea is a dormant volcano and many are now extinct. Because the complete list is long see the link below.
On which island is Mauna Loa located on?
Mauna Loa is a large shield volcano on the "big island" of Hawaii in the US state of Hawaii. Mauna Loa occupies more than half the island and erupts almost continuously, adding to the land area of the island with its lava flows. Hawai'i is the latest island of the Hawaiian islands to form. It is believed that all five of the existing islands (and some sea mountains) were formed by the same type of crustal rift that is feeding Mauna Loa. As the Pacific Plate slid over a "hot spot" in the underlying mantle, magma escaped to make new eruptions and form new islands. (see related link)
Are the largest volcanoes on earth by volume are found on hot spots tectonic spreading centers or oceanic transform faults?
Largest by volume = hot spots. See Mauna Loa, Hawaiian Islands - and Tenerife, Canary Islands.
Which planet has Olympus Mons largest mountain in the solar system?
Mars. Please see the related links.
What is the largest mountain in the world in terms of volume?
Mauna Loa Is the Largest Mountain in Terms of VolumeThis question is as easy to answer as the Pluto planet question. It all depends on whom you ask, their definition of a mountain...where the mountain starts...etc. Mauna Loa is the tallest, biggest around the base and largest in volume, if you accept the portion under the water. Some geologist call the base of Mauna Loa the above sea level portion. Otherwise, why not measure K2 down to the Asian plate?Nanga Perbet (Himmaliyas, Pakistan) is the LARGEST among the highest mountains in the world.You may not be able to see K-2 from the top of Nanga Perbet but from the top of K-2. Similarly Nanga Perbat is viewable from very far off places due to its very large size.
