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!
Mauna Loa is on the Pacific Plate. It is not near any other plates.
thousands of homes where destroyde in the eruption of Mauna Loa in 1984
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
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 :-)
Maun Lao has erupted about 33 times
March 25- April 15 1984.
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.
yes
Mauna Loa is on the Pacific Plate. It is not near any other plates.
explosively with abundant pyroclastic material

11 times there have been big eruptions
In 1984.
In March of 1984
In the 1984 eruption about 13 people lost their jobs in the mauna loa volcano.
