When is Kilueas next eruption?

There is no way of predicting accurately when a volcano would next erupt. However, for Kilauea to have a "next" eruption, the current one has to stop. The volcano is erupting right now, and has been erupting continuously since 1983.


Can't people put some thing in a volcano to make it stop erupting?

People have attempted to stop volcanic eruptions by diverting magma flow or cooling the volcano with water, but these methods are often ineffective due to the size and power of volcanic eruptions. It is generally not practical or safe to try to stop a volcanic eruption by putting something in the volcano.


When will mont kilauea stop erupting?

It will probably not stop for many centuries. At this time, Loihi seamount, and undersea volcano on the bottom of Mauna Loa, is spewing lava and is growing. It will become the next Hawaiian Island, and eventually create a large addition to the Big Island. Assuming that this process will not stop, Loihi will continue to spew and erupt, as other volcanoes like Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Kilauea eventually grow even more dormant. Although there is a chance of another active volcano on Maui, these volcanoes will become extinct, like Diamond Head near Honolulu, on Oahu. Loihi will be the new Kilauea.


What can't you do when a volcano is erupting?

When a volcano is erupting, it is generally not safe to be near or approach the volcano. It is advised to avoid the area and not attempt to see the eruption up close. Additionally, flying or operating aircraft near an erupting volcano can pose significant risks due to the ash plume and potential disruption to air traffic.


What happens if a volcano does not stop erupting?

If a volcano does not stop erupting, it can have serious consequences such as widespread destruction of property, loss of life, and disruption to the environment. Continuous eruptions can also lead to the formation of ash clouds, pyroclastic flows, and lava flows that can affect nearby communities and ecosystems for an extended period of time.

Do volcano's ever die?

Yes, they can stop erupting over time.


Why would a hot spot volcano stop erupting?

lower magma reserves or the volcano tube has closed/shifted.

Is mount st Helens the youngest volcano on earth?

No, not by any definition. If you define the "youngest volcano" by "most recently erupted", then that honor goes to Kilauea, which has been erupting non-stop since 1983. Mount St. Helens last "erupted" in early 2008 when steam escaped from a fracture in the lava dome.


Why dont scientists know when the volcano in iceland will stop erupting?

The reason scientists can't tell when it will stop erupting is because they can't tell how much molten lava is under the volcano. Even if the volcano doesn't stop erupting, flights within Europe may be resumed, the reason we're getting all this ash is because the molten lava hits the iceberg on top of the volcano and the sudden change in temperature and pressure gives off masses of fine ash.

Can you stop volcano erupting?

Fortunately or unfortunately, you cannot. You can do your best to stop the lava flow but even that is very difficult.


Where was and when was the last volcanic eruption known?

The earth is very geologically active, and there is volcanic activity every day around the world. The Puʻu ʻŌʻō cone of the Kilauea volcano in the U.S. state of Hawai'i has been erupting non-stop since January 3rd, 1983 (over 28 years) and the Stromboli volcano off the coast of Italy has been erupting continuously for all of written human history (scientists estimate at least 20,000 years) Both volcanoes erupt in a relatively minor fashion: the constant release of energy prevents a build-up and catastrophic explosion (scientists have even named this eruption style as "Strombolian" after the Italian volcano). This has allowed scientists to study each volcano very closely for many years, and has taught mankind a lot about how volcanoes work.
