Mauna Loa is the world's largest active volcano. It's last eruption was in 1984. There is a 100% chance that it will erupt again within the next five years.
Mauna Loa's last eruption was in 1984. It is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, with eruptions occurring on average every few years.
there are 5 kilauea and mauna kea and mauna loa and hualalai and kohala kilauea is the activest volcano in Hawaii and mauna loa is the biggest volcano in Hawaii! i should know because i live in Hawaii
Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii typically has mafic magma, which is rich in magnesium and iron, resulting in low viscosity and flowing lava. This magma composition contributes to the shield volcano shape and frequent eruptions on Mauna Loa.
Around 30,000 people live near Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. The closest town to the volcano is Hilo.
No, Mauna Loa is a shield volcano, not a stratovolcano. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their gentle slopes and built from lava flows, while stratovolcanoes are steeper and built from layers of ash and lava flows. Mauna Loa is one of the largest shield volcanoes in the world and is located in Hawaii.
yes
Mauna Loa is on the Pacific Plate. It is not near any other plates.
probaly yes because it erupts every 5 years
explosively with abundant pyroclastic material
last scientists said it was supposed to erupt january 10, 1985 but seems how that did not happen it is like a sitting bomb waiting to erupt. my opynyon is it is not active anymore!
Mauna Loa is currently in the post-shield stage of its life cycle, characterized by gradual erosion and subsidence. It is no longer actively erupting but may potentially erupt again in the future. Overall, Mauna Loa is in a phase of relative quiescence compared to its more active shield-building phase.
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 :-)
It erupts so much because it is in a hot spot
Mauna Loa has erupted over 30 times in the past 170 years. It is one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
I am sorry if this is not the right answer No Krakatoa has not erupted in the past 100 years if and when it does erupt the it will be a very big erution or a small one or it has fallen dormit forever or will fall dormit. hope this helps
Mauna Loa is a volcano in Hawaii.
what is mauna loa's range
