Mt Kilhea is rather unique among volcanoes in that it is well vented and its lava bubbles out almost perpetually. It doesn't plug up for long periods of time and explode like most volcanoes. THis has made it a tourist attraction in Hawaii. People feel safe enough around it to make it a vacation destination. It erupts often enough to almost be relied upon to be erupting when you book a flight to go there. So, to answer your question, it erupts constantly, a little bit at a time.
It is challenging to predict exactly when Mount Kilauea will erupt again as volcanic activity is complex and can be influenced by many factors. Monitoring of seismic, gas, and deformation data is ongoing to provide early warnings, but the precise timing of an eruption is uncertain.
Kilauea is currently erupting has has been almost continuously since 1983.
Kilauea's most recent eruption began on December 20, 2020. This eruption followed the volcano's previous activity in 2018 when it produced a series of lava flows and explosive eruptions.
No. Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano, but Kilauea is a shield volcano.
Mt. Kilauea on Hawaii is a basaltic shield volcano. This sort of volcano produces basalt lava which is not tremendously gassy and quite hot and runny. Thus unless water gets into the volcano's pluming (in which case there can be violent explosive eruptions), they are usually quiet, well behaved volcanoes.They do however erupt continuously for long periods of time, Kilauea is perhaps, the most active volcano on Earth.
