dates of most recent eruptions
Diamond Head, a volcanic tuff cone on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, last erupted around 300,000 years ago. Its formation is linked to a series of volcanic events that took place over thousands of years in the region.
Plinian eruptions are more violent than Hawaiian eruptions because they involve highly viscous magma that traps gas bubbles, leading to increased pressure buildup and explosive eruptions. In contrast, Hawaiian eruptions involve less viscous magma with low gas content, allowing the gases to escape easily and resulting in more effusive, less explosive eruptions.
When eruption types are arranged from most destructive to least, it is in descending order.
Violent volcanic eruptions are common where magma has a high gas content and viscosity. The pressure from trapped gases builds until it explosively releases, causing explosive eruptions like Plinian or Pelean eruptions. These eruptions often result in ash plumes, pyroclastic flows, and lahars.
Fissure eruptions on continents occur when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to crack open and release magma. This magma can flow out of the fissure as lava, creating long lines of volcanic activity. Fissure eruptions can be more gradual and less explosive compared to central vent eruptions.
I live a couple blocks away from diamond head and I happen to know that diamond head is surely extinct I've lived here 14 years and it has never erupted. plus, they wouldn't have built a monument on top of it if it were active! and waikiki city is right next to it so it will never erupt......hopefully!
Diamond Head is a volcanic tuff cone. You can read more about it, below.
Diamond Head volcano in Hawaii is not considered extinct; it is a dormant volcanic cone. It last erupted around 150,000 years ago. The volcano's eruptions were relatively small and not known to have caused significant damage.
Diamond Head, located on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, is not considered an explosive volcano. It is a tuff cone formed from volcanic ash and debris, primarily from a series of explosive eruptions around 300,000 years ago. Currently, it is considered dormant and poses no significant volcanic threat. The geological features of Diamond Head indicate that its explosive activity is a thing of the past.
a long time ago at the foot of the mountain it was all cabbage farms. At the time cabbage was sold for 10 cents a piece or a dime a head when people wanted cabbage they would say let’s go to dime a head
